At Ascending Psychology, we provide a range of face-to-face and telehealth services Australia wide.

This includes individual therapy, relationship counselling, group therapy, medico-legal assessments, and psychological assessments. As a team, we pride ourselves on our ability to integrate the art of therapy with the latest evidenced based scientific research. This allows our clients to have a personalised, holistic and authentic experience with their psychologist. We are also highly invested in ensuring that our clients experience positive outcomes and improvements in therapy. To achieve this, we use measures and questionnaires to track how clients are responding to their therapist and the interventions more generally. This is our commitment to the improvement of mental health in Australia.

INDIVIDUAL & COUPLE THERAPY

Our therapists are highly qualified to ensure you receive evidenced based psychological therapy and treatment. Within the field, there are numerous different theories as to why certain conditions develop. Each of these theories inform different tools that are designed to improve your functioning and wellbeing

PROCESS GROUP THERAPY

The benefits of our process group therapy program are significant and wide-ranging. By participating in this powerful process, group members will develop and refine the skills to notice, understand, and articulate thoughts and feelings about themselves and other people as they start to form relationships in a group setting.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS

Our psychologists have worked across a variety of sectors and have subsequently developed a passion and interest in assessment and report writing. Our Psychologists rely on a combination of clinical interviews, formal testing and observational data to offer comprehensive recommendations for each unique case.

LEGAL & FORENSIC ASSESSMENTS

Our team of highly qualified Psychologist’s are available to complete a variety of psychological assessments, risk assessments, and medico-legal (court ordered) reports. These types of reports are typically requested when an individual’s risk needs to be understood to help in complex decision making.
