FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find experienced psychologists in Melbourne?
If you are looking for experienced psychologists in Melbourne, Positive Wellbeing Psychology offers evidence-based care delivered by a warm and dedicated team of psychologists. Our Melbourne based psychology clinic has a special interest in supporting individuals with a wide range of mental health concerns. We provide both face-to-face sessions in our Armadale psychology practice and online psychology services across Australia for added flexibility and accessibility.
Are there psychologists near me accepting new clients?
Yes, our psychology clinic in Armadale, Melbourne, is currently accepting new clients. We offer flexible appointment times and the option of online ADHD therapy in Melbourne, allowing you to access support in a way that suits your lifestyle and location. Whether you are seeking a psychologist near you or prefer the convenience of an online psychologist in Australia, we can help.
For added convenience, we also offer after-hours and weekend appointments, making it easier for busy professionals, parents, and students to prioritise their mental health. These extended hours are ideal for those with demanding work schedules or families seeking appointments outside of school hours
What’s the difference between psychologist and psychiatrist, therapist, and counsellor?
Psychiatrists and psychologists are both registered health professionals who support mental health, but their training and scope of practice differ. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medical management, while psychologists focus on psychological assessment, evidence-based therapy, and behavioural interventions. In Australia, both psychiatrists and psychologists must be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), ensuring they meet strict national standards for professional training, ethical practice, and ongoing development.
Our therapists in Melbourne also support emotional wellbeing but may have different qualifications and scopes of practice depending on their training and regulatory bodies.
At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, our team includes experienced AHPRA-registered psychiatrists and psychologists who deliver evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs. We provide holistic, personalised support in a safe and confidential environment, available both in-person at our Armadale practice and via online psychiatry and psychology services Australia-wide.
Do you offer therapy for anxiety and depression in Melbourne?
Yes, our psychologists in Melbourne provide support for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and related challenges. We use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy to help clients build resilience, improve emotional wellbeing, and create meaningful change. Both in-person at our Armadale consulting suite and online therapy options are available.
How do I choose the right psychology clinic in Melbourne?
If you are looking for a caring and experienced psychologist Armadale offers trusted mental health support with flexible in-person and online appointments. When choosing a psychologist near you or selecting a psychology clinic in Melbourne, it is important to consider factors that influence the quality and suitability of the psychological care you will receive. These include professional registration (such as AHPRA accreditation), therapeutic approach, client feedback or reviews, and the availability of the psychologist.
At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, our Melbourne-based clinic—located in the leafy suburb of Armadale—is home to an experienced team of AHPRA-registered psychologists who are committed to delivering client-centred and evidence-based care. We offer a warm, collaborative environment, flexible appointment times (including after-hours and weekend availability), and personalised support designed to meet your individual needs.
Our Clinic Director, Emily Burton takes great care in personally matching each new client with the most suitable psychologist in Melbourne from our team. This matching process is not based on appointment availability alone. Instead, we take the time to understand what has brought you to therapy, your preferences, scheduling needs, and any relevant background before offering a tailored psychologist recommendation. This ensures a strong therapeutic fit from the outset, helping you feel supported and understood from your very first session.
How can I book an ADHD assessment with a psychiatrist in Melbourne?
Booking an ADHD assessment with a psychiatrist in Melbourne is simple. Our adult ADHD psychiatrists work collaboratively with psychologists to provide comprehensive evaluations. Appointments are available in-person or via telehealth, ensuring accessible ADHD assessment and treatment options tailored to your needs.
What is involved in an ADHD psychiatry assessment?
An ADHD psychiatry assessment involves a thorough evaluation conducted by our psychiatrists, often in collaboration with psychologists. The assessment reviews your medical and developmental history, current challenges, and co-occurring conditions, guiding personalised ADHD treatments, including therapy and medication. Telehealth appointments are also available for convenience.
