If you would like to see a clinical psychologist, Rose Park Psychology offers clinical psychology services. Our clinical psychologists have at least 5 years of experience, and some have much more. They can produce a treatment program, tailored for you, founded on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, EMDR or other evidence-based interventions. Many of our psychologists are clinical psychologists who can work with you, your doctor, and/or your psychiatrist to produce the best possible outcomes.

APRA has endorsed some psychologists as a clinical psychologists. They earn a Master’s or PhD in clinical psychology and must then complete two years of supervised practice to be endorsed as a clinical psychologist. After endorsement, they do more training and supervision in clinical psychology than registered psychologists. Clinical psychologists tend to see people with more serious symptoms arising from an anxiety or depressive disorder. They provide these services, when required, in the context of an ADHD or Autism diagnosis.

You can go to your GP and ask to be assessed to see if you are eligible for a mental health care plan to see a psychologist. You can be eligible for up to 10 sessions per calendar year, starting with a referral for six sessions. GPs prefer that you book an extended appointment. Let the GP receptionist know what you would like to come in for so they can arrange an appropriately long session.
