Our Psychology Services in Newcastle

Not everyone arrives here for the same reason. Some people are looking for therapy, some for clinical supervision as they build their own practice, and some are booking on behalf of a workplace, and our Newcastle clinical psychologists work across all three. 

Every service below is delivered by a clinical psychologist, in person at our Hunter Street rooms in the Newcastle CBD or by telehealth from wherever suits you.

Our Services

Individual Therapy

One-to-one psychological therapy for adults, adolescents and children. We work with anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma, complex trauma, adjustment difficulties and relationship challenges, drawing on evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, schema therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions usually run for 50 minutes.

v

Clinical Supervision

Supervision for psychologists and provisional psychologists, whether you are working towards registration requirements, moving into private practice, or looking for ongoing professional development and a considered second perspective on your caseload. Available individually, in person in Newcastle or online.

Training Workshops for Organisations

Information sessions and professional development for workplaces, schools and community organisations. Sessions can cover stress and burnout, supporting staff wellbeing, having difficult conversations, and understanding common mental health presentations , and are shaped around your group rather than delivered off the shelf. Get in touch to talk through what your organisation needs.

Group Treatment Programs

Structured group programs run alongside individual therapy, giving you a chance to build skills with other people working on similar things. Group availability changes through the year, so contact us to find out what is running and whether a group would suit you.

l

Cognitive and Functioning Assessments

Cognitive and adaptive functioning assessments for children (above 6), adolescents and adults to support school planning, developmental planning and access to services, completed by a clinical psychologist and written up as a clear, usable report. We also offer ADHD assessments for adults and adolescents. These assessments and reports can be used to support eligibility for NDIS. Contact us to check current availability and turnaround times.

How It Works

  • Get in touch. Book online, call us on (02) 4926 4198, or send a booking enquiry and tell us briefly what you are looking for.
  • We match you with a clinician. If you have someone in mind you can request them; if not, we will suggest a clinical psychologist based on what you need and who has availability.
  • First session. This is mostly about getting to know each other: what has brought you in, some history, and what you would like to be different.
  • Working together. You and your psychologist agree on a plan and a rough rhythm of sessions, and review how it is tracking as you go.

Referrals, Rebates and Getting Started

You do not need a referral to book with us. If you would like to claim a Medicare rebate, ask your GP about a Mental Health Treatment Plan, which sets out a number of rebated sessions each calendar year. Current fees are on our Fees page.

Appointments are available during business hours, with some evening and Saturday sessions, in person in Newcastle or by telehealth anywhere in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a session?

Individual therapy sessions usually run for around 50 minutes. Supervision and organisational sessions vary depending on what you need, so we will confirm the length when you book.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on what you are working on and what you want from therapy, and it is something you and your psychologist decide together rather than something set in advance. Your psychologist will talk through a suggested plan after the first session or two and review it with you as you go.

Do you offer supervision to psychologists outside Newcastle?

Yes. Clinical supervision can be provided online, so you do not need to be in Newcastle or the Hunter to work with one of our supervisors.

Can my workplace book a session for our team?

Yes. We deliver information sessions and professional development for workplaces, schools and community organisations, shaped around your group. Contact us with a rough sense of your group size, topic and timing and we will come back to you with options.

Do you see children and adolescents?

Yes. Several of our clinical psychologists work with children and adolescents as well as adults. Let us know the age of the person seeking support and we will tell you which clinicians currently have availability.
