ABOUT US
A modern psychology practice built for the way people actually live.
Welcoming, evidence-informed, and accessible. Located in St Kilda, in person and via telehealth across Australia.
WHO WE ARE
A clinic built around people, not processes.
Contemporary Psychology is a welcoming space in St Kilda dedicated to making psychological healthcare accessible, supportive, and effective. Our team of AHPRA-registered psychologists combine postgraduate training with ongoing professional development to deliver evidence-informed care.
We opened our doors over ten years ago with a simple belief: that psychological support should be available to people without unnecessary barriers. No lengthy wait lists. No bureaucratic hoops. A real clinician, matched to your needs, available within the week.
Today we work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and professionals across a broad range of presentations, from anxiety and depression to ADHD and ASD assessment, trauma, relationship difficulties, and workplace stress.
"Mental health should be at the forefront of global healthcare. We are doing our part in Melbourne."Claudia Hounslow, Director
OUR APPROACH
Psychology that treats the whole person.
Not just the presenting problem.
Mental health is shaped by neuroscience, lived experience, relationships, and context. Our clinicians are trained to hold all of it, not just the symptom in front of them.
We draw on the latest evidence across neuropsychology, cognitive-behavioural, and integrative frameworks to build a treatment approach that is yours. That means understanding how your brain works, what your history tells us, and what you are actually trying to build in your life.
What does not change is the commitment: every client leaves better equipped to understand themselves and navigate what comes next.
Every new client is matched with a psychologist whose experience, style, and availability aligns with their situation. After the first session, we check in to make sure we got it right.
OUR VALUES
