About the Clinic
The Psychology Clinic operates as part of the advanced professional
training program for Masters and Doctoral students in Clinical Psychology
and Clinical Neuropsychology. Therapy is carried out by Master of
Psychology and Doctoral provisional psychologists who are supervised
by experienced registered psychologists. This is part of the training
that prepares them for their careers as psychologists. Decisions
about the most effective therapeutic procedures are based on clinical
judgement and expertise and also on up-to-date research evidence.
All information is treated in a strictly confidential manner. If
you are not sure what psychologists do, or how they can help, visit
