Report
Extremely disappointed in Bayside counselling. I called and emailed my concerns and no response. Since reported the psychologist to AHPRA and they agreed professional performance was below the standard reasonably expected.

Report
This review is about a psychologist at Bayside and not the organisation. I was a patient of Dean Grimshaw for about 10 months for my depression, stress and anxiety relating to a workers comp claim. A few weeks before my court case Dean was subpoenaed to produce my medical records. He refused to produce the records unless he was paid up front ($750). An order was made at the Melbourne Magistrates Court that Dean produce the records within a week. He informed me that he would not do so unless he received payment. I spoke to my solicitor about this and I was informed that if the records are not produced
