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 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 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.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN AN ADHD PSYCHIATRY ASSESSMENT?

Telehealth appointments are also available for convenience.
