• Our approach

  Foundation Psychology Melbourne uses evidence-based therapies tailored to each client's individual needs. Sessions are collaborative, with psychologists and clients working together in a trusting, supportive partnership to identify and change the thought and behaviour patterns that keep people from feeling their best. The practice employs several scientifically validated approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy. Psychologists at the practice have completed 8-year PhD level training and integrate the best science, theory and clinical knowledge to understand and relieve psychological distress. Beyond qualifications, the team emphasises the warmth, care and personal understanding they bring to their work, recognising that each person is unique and requires an individualised approach.
