Psychological Counselling
Our psychological counselling services address anxiety, depression, trauma and workplace stress using evidence-based techniques. Clients receive personalised treatment plans incorporating Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness practices. With both face-to-face and telehealth options available, our Melbourne-based psychologists help individuals develop coping strategies for improved mental wellbeing.
Psychological Assessments
We conduct comprehensive psychological assessments including diagnostic evaluations for autism and ADHD in adults. Our forensic assessments cover family violence matters and immigration cases. Using structured interviews and psychometric testing, our clinicians provide accurate diagnoses that form the basis for effective treatment planning and court reporting.
EMDR Therapy
Specialised EMDR therapy for trauma recovery involves 90-minute sessions addressing PTSD symptoms through evidence-based protocols. This therapy helps clients process traumatic memories and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Our clinicians use bilateral stimulation techniques to facilitate neural reprocessing of distressing experiences.
Telehealth Services
Secure telehealth services provide accessible mental health support through video conferencing and phone consultations. Available across Melbourne and regional areas, these services maintain the same therapeutic standards as in-person sessions. Clients benefit from flexible scheduling and reduced travel requirements while receiving professional psychological care.
Forensic Psychology
Our forensic psychology services include court reports, family violence assessments, and expert testimony. We work with legal professionals and government agencies to provide objective psychological evaluations. These services support immigration cases, visa applications, and family court proceedings with evidence-based professional opinions.

Report
It was my first visit, and I am very satisfied with his therapy and supportive counselling session. He showed genuine interest and handled my issue carefully and spoke at length about handling it. I felt much relaxed and lighter after the session with him. I would highly recommend Dr. Dean to everyone.
