Our approach

Therapy at Aperture Psychology draws on a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. Sessions are designed around your personal needs and typically last 50 minutes, beginning with an initial two-session assessment to build understanding of your situation and outline the treatment path ahead. By the end of your first session, you'll have a clearer sense of the problem and a preliminary view of the steps ahead. Treatment is personalised based on your specific challenges, with progress tracked through standardised psychological questionnaires and self-reports. Most clients demonstrate measurable progress within 6 to 10 sessions, with the option to transition to fortnightly or monthly appointments as you progress.

Meet the team

The practice is led by two Directors: Peter Walker (Director of Clinical Psychology & Education) and Dr Sophie Li (Director of Neuropsychology and Operations), both with Masters qualifications in Clinical Psychology. The team includes clinical psychologists and clinical psychology registrars, many holding PhDs, who have undergone rigorous advanced training and are registered with the Psychology Board of Australia, meeting strict ethical and professional requirements. All clinicians have extensive training in evidence-based approaches through Masters, Doctorate, or combined PhD/Masters degrees in Clinical Psychology. The practice is supported by administrative staff including practice managers and administrative assistants who help match clients with the right clinicians and manage appointments.

Your first visit

Your first appointment is part of an initial assessment usually carried out over two sessions where the clinical psychologist gathers necessary information to understand your situation and outline the treatment process. By the end of your first session, you'll have a clearer sense of the problem at hand and a preliminary view of the steps ahead. The second session focuses on refining this understanding through a comprehensive formulation as you explore the factors contributing to your challenges. After this assessment, a personalised treatment plan is created based on your specific needs, with therapy typically beginning with weekly 50-minute sessions.
