At Think Psychologists we pride ourselves on providing a quality service underpinned by care and compassion. Our practitioners are qualified, competent and supported by senior staff to continually reflect and develop as therapists. Our Director, Dr Nicole Carvill, regularly reviews the case load of each staff member and allocates new clients based on therapist expertise and passion.

If you wish to register for an appointment please complete our registration form. The administration team will then contact you to walk you through the process and next step.

We understand the very busy lives and daily pressures that families face–particularly in the Covid world. We acknowledge that this can impact on your ability to attend appointments. However due to our wait list we have implemented a caveat that if families are unable to attend 3 consecutive appointments without reasonable advice we will no longer be able to continue to provide a service.

Provisional Psychologist

A provisional psychologist is someone who has completed their tertiary qualifications (typically a 5 year Masters level qualification – including studies, placement and research) and is eligible to undertake a program of internship as they develop their applied skills “on the job”. Typically this involves a minimum of two years of weekly supervision with an AHPRA board approved supervisor.

All of the provisionally registered psychologists at Think Psychologists are fully qualified, skilled and knowledgeable in all aspects of the services they provide. Their being under supervision
means that they are able to discuss their work with a supervisor who is an even more experienced peer in the field of psychology.
Psychologist’s with provisional registration are not eligible for Medicare rebates, therefore we charge a lower rate for them. This means you won’t require a mental health care plan or GP referral to see a Psychologist with provisional registration and they’re not imited in the number of sessions they can provide either!

When it comes down to the mental health and wellbeing of yourself or a loved one, it’s understandable to want the best. In recognition of that and with an understanding of the importance of best practice in therapy, we are uncompromisingly dedicated to nsuring the very highest quality of therapy and support is provided by our clinicians.

First, we meet you without your child.

This initial appointment is a parent-only session, a chance to get to know your chosen psychologist and chat openly about the challenges your child is facing.

We will ask you questions about developmental history, emotional regulation, social skills, sensory concerns and learning. We can also provide age-appropriate advice for talking to your child about what to expect when they meet us.

The information discussed during this session can determine any need for assessment and guide future appointments.

Following your initial face to face appointment with your therapist you will receive a Welcome Pack. This pack provides you with key information about our practice and what you can expect. Please take the opportunity to carefully read through all the documents.

Next, we meet your child face-to-face.

This session is all about ensuring your child feels comfortable. We will spend a lot of time building trust, chatting about their life, interests and relationships.

When the time is right, we will explore concerns using evidence-based therapy tailored to your child’s age and emotional capacity.

You are welcome to join us for this appointment or take advantage of one of the lovely coffee cafes nearby.
