Self Growth Institute provides professional, inclusive, and person-focused psychological and counselling services across Melbourne and beyond.
Reviews are heavily skewed toward positive experiences with specific practitioners, particularly Lidia, who is praised across multiple reviews for creating a comfortable, non-judgmental environment and helping clients make meaningful progress over time; John is also mentioned positively by more than one reviewer. However, there are notable concerns raised by multiple one-star reviewers, including an unorganised or unprofessional reception experience, a billing dispute that left one parent feeling accused of non-payment, and a serious complaint that one psychologist (Phillip Greenway) fell asleep during a session involving childhood trauma. One reviewer also reported feeling pressured toward medication without discussion of alternatives, and another found the premises dirty and uncomfortably warm.
