Our approach
Towards Optimism Psychological Services provides evidence-based treatment and assessment services tailored to each person's unique needs and intervention goals. Clinical psychologists here use a range of techniques and therapies to support individuals, and are committed to ongoing training and professional development to ensure they deliver treatment consistent with the most recent research. The service works with mild to complex conditions, offering individual therapy alongside mental health and academic assessments. Sessions are available through in-person appointments at the Largs Bay office, or flexibly through telehealth (video) or phone call options for those who prefer them.
Meet the team
The team consists of clinical psychologists who have completed a minimum of 6 years of university training to become Registered Psychologists, followed by an additional 2 years of supervision and specialist training in Clinical Psychology. All team members are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and endorsed as having specific skills in Clinical Psychology. The service was founded in 2014 by Alexandra Wilsdon and Erin Lear, and psychologists here are also AHPRA Board Approved supervisors committed to providing evidence-based treatments consistent with current research.
Your first visit
When you first enquire, the team asks questions about your reasons for seeing a psychologist to find the most appropriate clinician for your needs. You can book an appointment by calling (08) 7080 2018, submitting an enquiry form online, or emailing contact@towardsoptimism.com.au. The service aims to offer flexible and responsive scheduling with minimal waiting periods, and in most cases will book you into the next available appointment rather than placing you on a waitlist. If a wait is needed for a particular clinician or service, the team will discuss this directly with you and may suggest alternative support available sooner.
