Booking An Appointment

To make a booking with one of our counsellors in Melbourne, simply give our friendly reception team a call. Caring and confidential, they will help match you to the best counsellor for your needs and offer you an in-person or Telehealth session via a daytime, evening or Saturday appointment based on your preference.

Proudly a family-friendly practice, you’re welcome to bring your children with you to your appointment. Infants are welcome in the counselling session while older children can be supervised in the waiting room by our reception team. We have toys and books to help them feel at ease and make great coffee for the adults!

Children often don’t know how to express how they are feeling so the signs that something may be wrong can be ambiguous. At Port Phillip Psychology we offer support and help for children as young as four years old through to teenagers and university students. 

Highly experienced with children, we can assist with behavioural issues, ASD, ADHD, bullying, anxiety, phobias and depression. We can also help children adjust to separation and divorce, moving between houses and coping with parental conflict and court processes.
