What Associated helps with

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

A mindfulness-based approach to accept difficult thoughts and commit to values-driven change.

Anxiety Therapy

Therapy and support to help children and adults understand and manage anxiety — including worry, panic, phobias and social anxiety. Treatment typically draws on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, and helps individuals gradually face feared situations with greater confidence.

Burnout Therapy

Support for exhaustion, overwhelm, and stress to rebuild energy, boundaries, and balance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, OCD and many other mental health challenges, and has strong evidence for both children and adults.

Depression Therapy

Caring support and strategies to work through and manage depression, including medicare support plans.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

An evidence-based therapy originally developed for people with intense emotional difficulties. DBT teaches skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and is now used for a range of conditions including borderline personality disorder, eating disorders and self-harm.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

Trauma processing therapy to reduce the impact of distressing memories and emotional triggers.

Family Therapy

Therapy that works with the whole family — or key members — to improve communication, resolve conflict and strengthen relationships. It recognises that difficulties often affect and are affected by family dynamics, and works on shared patterns rather than focusing on one individual alone.

Relationship Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

Trauma Therapy

Evidence-based therapy to help individuals who have experienced trauma — including abuse, accidents or adverse childhood experiences — process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Approaches include EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and somatic therapies.

Work and Development Order (WDO) Therapy

Therapy services tailored to WDO requirements.

ADHD Assessment

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessment

A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.

Cognitive Assessment

A standardised assessment of thinking, learning and memory abilities administered by a psychologist. Results identify a person's cognitive profile, highlight strengths and areas of difficulty, and inform recommendations for school support, therapy and NDIS access.

Our approach

Associated Psychology Practice uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness training, and parent skill building. Sessions are warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, paced according to your child's comfort level and goals. Your psychologist will work with you to understand your child's challenges, introduce practical strategies they can use both in and outside sessions, and develop an action plan toward meaningful improvement. The team focuses on fostering genuine growth and resilience, not just symptom relief.

Meet the team

The team includes Michelle Grosvenor (Principal Psychologist, registered since 2005 with extensive experience with children and adolescents), Belinda Grugan (Assistant Principal Psychologist, registered since 2009), Victoria Sammour (Psychologist with experience in CBT, ACT, mindfulness and parent skill building since 2019), Brigitte Pride (Psychologist who completed her Clinical Master's in late 2024), Emily Liddle (Early career psychologist who has worked in drug and alcohol services and NDIS settings), Jeskara Gordon (Senior Psychologist, registered since 2008, passionate about supporting meaningful growth), and Mental Health Accredited Social Workers including Nila Abbasyan (qualified since 2022 with post-graduate training).

Your first visit

Your child's first appointment is 50–60 minutes and focuses on understanding their goals, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. The psychologist will listen carefully to what's been going on, help make sense of your child's situation, and explain how therapy might help. Together, you'll develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your child's needs. There's no obligation to continue if it doesn't feel like the right fit—the first session is really a chance to see how the space and approach feel for your family.
