The Psychology Clinic -
The Psychology clinic provides psychological assessment, therapy and psychometric assessments at low cost. Our services are for adults, children, adolescents and their families, the general community as well as University staff and students. As a teaching, training and research clinic at the University of Sydney, our clinic is staffed by postgraduate trainees who work under the supervision of highly experienced clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists. Our treatments and psychometric assessments reflect the latest developments in clinical practice and the highest standards of care. We can assist with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, life events, grief and loss, health and illness, relationships, parenting and family, behavior, study and work, resilience, and learning difficulties for adults and children.
When attending our clinic, you may be invited to participate in research studies to help us contribute new and improved developments to the latest research in psychological assessment and treatment. Participating in these programs is voluntary and will not affect access to our services.
- Therapy: our trainee clinical psychologists, under the close guidance of their clinical psychology supervisors, aim to provide individually tailored, evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment for mental health difficulties in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
- Psychometric assessments: the clinic offers psychometric assessments for adults experiencing cognitive difficulty stemming from learning disorders (reading, writing, maths) and ADHD. Such assessments can determine the nature of the cognitive issue, and lead to recommendations that may assist with academic, occupational and/or general functioning. Our Clinic does not perform assessments for medicolegal purposes, worker’s compensations, employee assistance or for the NDIS.
- Therapy for children, adolescents and families: ,eany parents have concerns about their child’s emotional development or behaviour. Clinical Psychologists can play a useful role in providing treatment in various forms, including parenting strategies, family therapy, skills-building programs for children, or simply reliable information, for a range of behavioural and emotional problems such as aggression, anxiety, mood problems, social difficulties, bullying and family problems.
- Psychometric assessments: the clinic offers comprehensive psychometric asessments for diagnosing issues related to learning problems, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental difficulties. In additional to identifying issues that may warrant professional attention, these assessments can also provide recommendations that may assist with children’s school readiness, performance and general behavior. Additionally, where children are intellectually gifted, it can be helpful to identify their areas of strength to enable educational programming to cater to their needs for stimulation and advanced learning opportunities. The clinic does not diagnose autism or provide cognitive evaluations of this condition. Families and individuals seeking assessments of people on the autism spectrum can contact ASPECT, Australia’s leading service provider for people on the Autism spectrum.
