Registered Psychologist Parramatta
We offer a Registered Psychologist service at our Parramatta offices. Psychologists specialise in treating common mental health complaints such as anxiety and depression. Treatments are based on the latest clinical research and scientific evidence for effectiveness. You can also use a Medicare referral to obtain a rebate.
Alternatively we also offer general counselling and psychotherapy services. These services are well suited to general life and emotional issues as well as mental health issues, but do not require that a diagnosis is made, do not require a Medicare referral and the treatment is usually more conversational or experiential in nature.
Make sure to specify your requirement for a Registered Psychologist when you book.

Your first visit
Upon meeting with your Psychologist, an initial assessment will be undertaken to clarify your main concerns and to shape your therapeutic plan moving forward.
This process will consist of deciding the most appropriate therapeutic modality on achieving an effective outcome, as well as understanding what you are hoping to receive from these sessions.
