At Peaceful Mind Psychology, our experienced clinical psychologists provide evidence-based therapy for adults, couples, adolescents and their families in the inner east & south east of Melbourne and via Telehealth.
With over 18 experienced clinical psychologists, we take the time to thoughtfully match you with a clinician whose experience, therapeutic style and personality best suit your needs – giving you the best opportunity of finding a psychologist who is right for you.
Our clinical psychologists provide assessment and treatment for a broad range of mental health concerns using therapies supported by psychological research.
Our psychologists tailor therapy to your individual needs. Some people may be looking for practical strategies to manage anxiety or depression, while others want to better understand longstanding patterns in their emotions, relationships or behaviour.
Depending on your goals, therapy may involve developing practical coping strategies, processing difficult life experiences, improving relationships, aligning your life with your values or gaining greater insight into yourself.
Our clinical psychologists utilise evidence-based approaches including:
Rather than applying a single therapy approach to everyone, a mixture of therapies are typically used to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs.
Our clinical psychologists support people experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including:
It is also normal to start therapy feeling unsure about how to describe the nature of your problems – for example, you may experience a general feeling of disatifaction in your life or perhaps you feel stressed for no particular reason. Part of the process of therapy is about finding clarity on what exactly needs to shift in your life to find better wellbeing.
Our clinical psychologists practise across our Melbourne clinics in Glen Iris, Hawthorn, Armadale & Prahran and through Telehealth appointments Australia-wide.
Although all clinical psychologists complete extensive postgraduate training in clinical psychology, no psychologist can specialise in every area of mental health. Throughout their careers, psychologists continue to develop advanced knowledge and skills in particular areas through further training, supervision and clinical experience.
For example, some clinical psychologists pursue additional training and develop extensive experience in areas such as:
At Peaceful Mind Psychology, we’ve intentionally built a team of clinical psychologists with diverse areas of interest and expertise, allowing us to support the broad spectrum of mental health concerns people seek help for. We are also highly selective in the psychologist’s we choose to work with – we place a large emphasis on psychologist’s who demonstrate warmth, compassion and a high ability to reflect on themselves.

At Peaceful Mind Psychology, we believe that good therapy is built on more than professional qualifications.
Our approach is to combine evidence-based treatment with genuine human connection, with:
Careful psychologist matching
We consider your mental health concerns, your personal preferences in a therapist, and your personality. Taking this information together, we match you to a psychologist.
Individualised therapy
Our psychologist’s are all conscientious and client focused in their approach. This means they take the time to consider each person as an individual and they tailor therapy to your unique circumstances rather than following a rigid treatment model.
Warm and collaborative relationships
We only partner with psychologist’s who are warm, genuine and compassionate. Our psychologist’s care about their clients, and highly value the relationship they share with their clients.
People often seek support when they notice their mental health beginning to interfere with everyday life.

Yes. While clinical psychologists treat complex mental health conditions, many people also seek support for stress, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, self-esteem, grief, life transitions and personal growth.
Research has consistently shown that Telehealth is just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many mental health concerns. It also allows you to access the psychologist who best suits your needs, regardless of location.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. Some people benefit from short-term therapy, while others choose longer-term support. Your psychologist will regularly review your goals and progress with you throughout the therapy process.
A psychologist will take the time to develop a deeper understanding of your problems. This will help both the therapist and the client form clarity over the exact nature of your difficulties. This process is very collaborative and is supposed to be felt like a team-approach. Once understanding is formed, your therapist should guide you to:
If you are new to therapy, you may find it helpful to understand what to expect from therapy. However, there is no pressure on you to prepare or do any work before coming to therapy.
Both psychologists and clinical psychologists are highly trained and registered with AHPRA to assess and treat mental health concerns. Clinical psychologists complete additional postgraduate training in clinical psychology and often have experience working with more complex mental health presentations. However, both psychologists and clinical psychologists can provide excellent, evidence-based therapy.
