You don’t have to work through everything on your own. Brunswick patients turn to our psychologist at Lotus Medical Centre for a personalised approach to psychological therapy, whatever’s brought you in, from a specific issue to something harder to put into words. Sessions are designed around your situation rather than a fixed script, so the pace and focus can shift as things change.

When Do You Need a Psychologist?
Small stressors tend to build up quietly before they start affecting how you function day to day, showing up as trouble sleeping, snapping at people you care about, or just feeling flat more often than not. Patients from nearby Coburg often reach out around this point too, once things feel harder to manage alone.
What Starting Therapy Can Give You
A few things that tend to matter most to patients starting therapy, whatever stage they’re at. Results vary between individuals, and your psychologist can help set realistic expectations for your situation.
A Personalised Strategy
Your psychologist builds an approach around your circumstances, not a fixed program.
Support for All Ages
Options are available for children, adolescents and adults.
Practical Life Skills
Therapy can help build tools for managing emotions in a healthy, workable way.
More Affordable Access
A Mental Health Care Plan may make sessions more affordable for Brunswick patients.
A Sense of Being Heard
Sessions focus on understanding your situation, not rushing toward a fixed outcome.
Ready to Talk to Someone?
Reaching out is often the hardest part, and it doesn’t need to be a crisis before you do it. Appointments are available for new patients, including those travelling in from Carlton North and other nearby suburbs.
The Team and Approach Behind Your Sessions
It comes down to feeling heard, not rushed. Your psychologist takes the time to understand what’s actually going on before working through it with you, rather than reaching for a one-size-fits-all approach. A few reasons patients choose to keep coming back, session after session.
- A Mental Health Psychologist On-Site: No separate referral needed to start the conversation.
- A CBT Therapist Among Our Team: Along with other evidence-based approaches, depending on what fits your situation.
- Confidential, Judgement-Free Appointments: Sessions focus on understanding, not judging.
- Convenient Brunswick Location: A therapist Princes Hill patients can reach easily too.
- Coordinated With Your GP: Your psychologist can loop your GP into your broader care where it helps.
Frequently Asked Questions
A few of the questions patients often ask before their first session.
What Issues Can a Psychologist Help With?
You don't need to be in crisis to book in. Everyday concerns like stress, low mood or relationship friction are just as valid a reason to talk to someone as anything more serious.
How Is Seeing a Psychologist Different From a GP Mental Health Consultation?
Your GP can assess and manage a lot of mental health concerns directly, while a psychologist offers structured, ongoing therapy using approaches like CBT, ACT therapy, DBT and Schema Therapy. Many patients see both, working together as part of one plan.
Do I Need a GP Referral to See a Psychologist?
Not always, but a referral through a Mental Health Care Plan may make you eligible for a Medicare rebate, including for a mental health plan psychologist Northcote patients often ask about. Your GP can advise on what applies to you.
Is Support Available for Children and Teens?
Yes. Support covers a wide range of concerns for children, adolescents and adults, including behavioural difficulties, self-esteem and educational or developmental concerns, with telephone counselling also available by appointment. Please speak with your GP or one of our psychologists to discuss what's appropriate for your specific situation. If you're in crisis, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or call 000.
