How we can support you

Private practice can be isolating. By joining our psychology practice in Armadale Victoria, you’ll feel very well-supported and valued. A few ways that our psychology practice provides this level of support, have been included below:

 

Ongoing Supporting Team Environment: A rare role in private practice where you will continue to learn about new presentations by means of fortnightly peer consultation and training opportunities.

 

Professional Growth and Learning Pathways: Our current psychologists hold a unique area of interest. These currently include ADHD, autism, eating disorders or disordered eating, poor body image, and specialised therapeutic methodologies like DBT, CBT, and Gottman’s, among others. This presents an invaluable opportunity for growth and learning. At present, we’re broadening our offerings to encompass once-off assessments for clients. This presents a chance for learning and advancement in diverse assessment methods tailored to clients exhibiting potential neurodiversity, should this be of interest.

 

Tailored Support in a Boutique Practice: Our boutique practice is unique for a private practice setting in the sense that you will have full access to support rather than leaving you isolated or working independently, which may be the case in a Sole Contractor role. We consist of a small team of diverse psychologists, each with unique interests. Some join with specialties, while others develop their niches over time with the support and guidance available from the role.

 

Matching Referrals to Psychologists Interest: Being a small-scale private practice, our psychologists are supported to refine their skills through receiving referrals that align with their specific areas of interest. Alternatively, should you be an early-career psychologist, our practice allows you to access a wide array of referrals parallel to peer consultation to continue developing the necessary experience before landing your specific area of interest.

 

Support for Early Career Psychologist: Our clinic director, Emily, fosters this individual growth and offers guidance to early-career psychologists, which leads to refining your expertise in specific areas over time. Discover your strengths, refine your focus, and receive support in our practice!

 

Continuous Referral Stream: Positive Wellbeing Psychology maintains a consistent flow of referrals, a testament to our highly skilled psychologists. We’re committed to regular peer consultations and support to uphold the high standard of care for our team of psychologists, ultimately benefiting our clients.

Who we work with

Our team of psychologists offer psychological support to adolescents, adults, children and their families who are facing diverse mental health challenges, spanning from depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout to relationship issues, eating disorders, body image concerns, adult ADHD,  low self-esteem, and sleep problems.

 

Whether you’re a clinical psychologist, provisional psychologist, or social worker, you’ll have the chance to work with adolescents and young people, conduct assessments, and provide evidence-based interventions.

 

Our services available at our Melbourne psychology practice extend beyond clinical concerns, encompassing personal growth, decision-making, and problem-solving support. Our practice directs client referrals based on your expertise and interests, ensuring that individuals seeking assistance aligned with your specific niche are directed to you.

 

Referral Sources: 

Our referrals come from word of mouth, local and distant GPs, and AFL-PA (including current and former professional Australian Football League and AFL Women’s players). Funding options also include self-managed NDIS participants, Medicare-funded, and private fee-paying clients. Our reputable practice empowers psychologists to establish themselves within a rapidly growing referral network.

 

Collaborative Approach:

At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, we are known for our collaborative approach. Our Melbourne psychology practice has a unique reputation for establishing a holistic approach, which in turn seems to have supported our referral flow from like-minded professionals. We actively encourage psychologists joining our team to collaborate with connected dietitians, GPs, and psychiatrists, aiming to ensure the most comprehensive clinical care for our clients.

Social gatherings

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to share a laugh and connect with other professionals on our team at breakfasts, paint-and-sip’s, local wine bars catch-up’s and fortnightly peer consultations. These opportunities aim to nurture a supportive and inclusive environment for our team to connect and interact with like-minded people.

Reflections from Our Psychologist

  • Jasmin Mond

    The intake process for new clients was very effective. I appreciated Em’s thoughtful allocation of clients to my caseload based on my areas of expertise and professional interest.

    Jasmin Mond. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    The referrals is what I have valued most in working at PWP, the ability to see clients that align with my interests, skills and experience.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Jasmin Mond

    The support was both flexible and consistent. I never felt unsupported at any stage. Em was always available and responsive whenever I had a question or encountered an issue.

    Jasmin Mond. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    There are a number of aspects of working at PWP that I value, in particular the dynamic of clinicians that make up our team. I've always felt comfortable to share my experiences as a clinician in our peer consults and outside of work, equally as comfortable chatting about life over a coffee or a wine.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Angella K.

    The intake process for new clients was set up really well. Specifically, having an intake process take place prior to a first session with a client ensured that clients were already a good fit for private practice, as well as for providing in depth history and background information that was accessible prior to initial consults.

    Angella K. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    I joined PWP after I completed my internship with another company - this was a particularly exciting yet vulnerable stage of my early career, as I was ready to take on a new challenge with new found confidence in my skills, yet needed a workplace with on-going support and structure to facilitate this. Both of which PWP were able to provide me with.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Brigitte Laville

    Emily, clinic director, displayed understanding and empathy. Her support was pivotal in navigating challenging client situations, and her willingness to assist was always unwavering.

    Brigitte L. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    We've got a great resource hub that all clinicians can access and add resources to which is always helpful.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Jasmin Mond

    I was drawn to PWP’s welcoming and supportive environment and beautiful boutique practice.

    Working at PWP was a such a positive experience. The foundation you've laid, ensuring a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere, is genuinely commendable. Anyone working here is undoubtedly fortunate.

    Emily has always been open to exploring new or evolving interests in client presentations and often has recommendations for possible further training or resources that support with my career moving in that direction.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Isaleyarna B

    Emily has been so supportive with the transition into private practice. Being a new grad, the support given by Emily has been exceptional and she goes above and beyond to help out when it’s required.

    Isaleyarna B. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    With a combination of fortnightly peer consults and our Practice Manager Emily making herself available for any admin or client-based queries/concerns, I've always felt very supported at PWP.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Angella K.

    In terms of the referral matches - all clients were in line with my areas of interest and were often a really great fit.

    Angella K. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    I would also say another big aspect of working at PWP that I value would be the flexible nature of the role. From being able to choose your own work days/hours and the ability to see clients in-person or via Telehealth, this really allows for a healthy balance for someone at any stage of their working life.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    I've found that using the program Halaxy has made the whole intake process very streamlined, with various templates to suit our needs this has always allowed for sessions to flow whilst obtaining all necessary background info from the client.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Brigitte Laville

    PWP is not only a space to see clients, it's a psychology practice that fosters understanding, support, professional development, and growth.

    Brigitte L. Psychologist

  • Isaleyarna B

    I have worked for many companies and never felt as much support as I do now at Positive Wellbeing Psychology. Emily has made me feel as though I’m a part of a family and when you are working remotely this is really important.

    Isaleyarna B. Psychologist

  • Angella K.

    In terms of what made me feel connected and valued as part of the team - the really lovely feedback from clients always fed through, positive feedback constantly fed back from Emily. Very welcoming peer consults and positive communication throughout the year both work and non work related.

    Angella K. Psychologist

  • Isaleyarna B

    All my referrals have been incredibly matched, and I absolutely adore my clients which makes me enjoy my work so much more.

  • Brigitte Laville

    PWP provided an exceptional work environment, allowing me to balance my professional commitments with the demands of motherhood. The flexibility in working conditions, especially while returning from maternity leave, was invaluable. Working from home seamlessly integrated with my role as a parent to a young child.

    Brigitte L. Psychologist

  • Chelsea Huddle

    PWP has made great efforts to ensure we remain connected. By facilitating fortnightly peer consults, being open to a phone call or in-person catch up when needed and coordinating end of year and or special occasion dinners or activities, there is definitely a sense of belonging at PWP.

    Chelsea H. Psychologist

  • Brigitte Laville

    The friendly clients who were added in my calendar shared my special interests, making each session engaging and fulfilling. Having the autonomy to select clients was empowering and added immense value to my professional journey.

    The support is flexible and regular, as well as ongoing peer consults, which were always extremely helpful, Emily was available for support across 'quick' fixes and more in depth check ins over phone, email or text. If ever unavailable, a time was always booked in as quick as possible and on going check ins provided.

    Emily was very supportive and helpful while I was finalising my registration and in transitioning into private practice with calendar tips and tricks, check ins whenever required and helpful resources.
