We work with your GP

Mental and Physical Health go hand in hand. Your psychologist will typical work with your doctor to treat your needs. Visiting a psychologist is just like visiting your GP but instead of discussing your physical ailments, we will discuss your mental health and wellbeing.

Speak with your doctor regarding a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), if required your doctor can provide you with a MHCP which offers a medicare rebate off your psychologists sessions.

You can visit a psychologist directly or your GP can refer you to one.

Individual Therapy

Peak Psychology Australia offers individual therapy services to people of all ages. Sessions offer the opportunity to speak about how you've been feeling, to express your thoughts and worries, and to connect with someone who understands you. We work to find effective strategies to help recover from depression, anxiety, stress, and other mental health issues.

What To Expect

Many people feel a huge sense of relief when they speak to a psychologist. Speaking about our thoughts and feelings can help to decrease their intensity. It can help us work through confusion, help to problem solve, see things differently, and find solutions and clarity. Talking to someone can help us feel less alone.

Seeing a psychologist for the first time can feel overwhelming, but we work to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all clients.
