Our approach
Essendon Private Clinic uses a holistic, multidisciplinary approach that integrates medical, psychological, and therapeutic care. The treatment philosophy focuses on personalised attention and evidence-based practice, combining psychotherapy, medication management, physical activities, and creative therapies tailored to each person's individual needs. Sessions include structured group programs running seven days a week on a six-week cycle, with daily assessment by the multidisciplinary team to discuss progress toward specific goals. The clinic emphasises normalising conversation about mental illness, developing new positive coping skills, and supporting long-term recovery through a range of therapeutic modalities including acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, and activity-based groups.
