What We Do

Our counsellors have a diverse range of skills and our practice can assist with most issues. In addition to an average of 6 years of University training our therapists have specialised training in either children, relationships or adults issues such as anxiety and depression. Our friendly reception team will help match you to the best counsellor for your needs and offer daytime, evening and Saturday appointments or video counselling. We pride ourselves on being family friendly and you’re welcome to bring your children with you. Infants are welcome in the counselling session while older children are supervised by our reception team in the waiting area. 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 help children as young as 4 through to teenagers and university students. We help with behaviour issues, ASD, ADHD, bullying, anxiety, phobias and depression. We help children adjust to separation and divorce, moving between houses and coping with parental conflict and court processes..
