Clinic History

Bayside Psychology, Hypnotherapy and Counselling clinic was established in 1980 to meet the growing need for psychological services in Victoria.

Bayside Psychology offers a comprehensive range of clinical, counselling, educational and forensic services for adults, couples, children and families.

We strive to maintain an uncompromisingly high standard of professional practice in a friendly and welcoming environment.

The practice is staffed by psychologists who have had many years experience working with clients in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools and clinics and in private practice.

Close working relationships are maintained with local medical practitioners and medical specialists, particularly psychiatrists and paediatricians and with many complementary health practitioners.

Psychologists at this clinic maintain ongoing professional development and hold all appropriate qualifications, registrations and professional memberships including memberships of the Australian Psychological Society and the Australian Society of Hypnosis.

The practice uses a clinical framework.  All clients can expect their problems will be diagnosed in the first session and the appropriate research-based best practice treatment used.

Treatment techniques chosen to suit your presenting problem may include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfullness Therapy, Schema Therapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, psycho-education, solution focused therapy, family therapy and many more.

Most costs are met through Medicare if you have an appropriate referral and treatment plan.

Bayside Psychology is not a bulk billing clinic.  You should discuss your financial difficulties with your psychologist if the fee gap is a problem for you.
