Report
Best to avoid sadly. Their matching service seems fine and the person was quite nice. For $150 of course which is unclaimable. But worth the money to get a good psychologist right? So I was matched. With a psychologist who I'm sure is ok for the right clients, but I think I was put into the LGTBQI box which is fine as I am a part of that community. That doesn't mean they can grab the next LGTBQI councillor on their books and we will click. It felt lazy. I tried to set ground rules about what I would be comfortable discussing which were ignored. Which is fine as we are supposed to be taken out of

Have recommended a number of employees within my organization suffering an array of issues from personal to work related and each and every one I have recommended has provided me with amazing feedback with their experience. Could not recommend enough. Thanks team at Psychology Melbourne!

What can go wrong, will go wrong. In a space that's supposed to look after people and support healthy mental health, they have done nothing but cause extreme stress and anxiety.
DO NOT RECOMMEND! You are just stuck in an automated process that will create a long and strenuous experience with no help at the end of it, oh and it'll cost you!

I had a hard few months in the lockdown, my mental health kept going up and down and I felt very hard to motivate myself in the best of times so I reached out for some support from this practice and was so happy with the effort and work they put in. I was not only connected with the right person suited to my needs, but the support from the admin staff was beyond amazing. Highly recommend.
