​ABOUT AWARENESS PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC

SEPTEMBER UPDATE: We are unable to accept new patients at this time. Please consider other services as we are unlikely to be able to accept new patients in the near future. We do not keep a waitlist. Please check back in October when this message will be updated. 
Awareness Psychology Clinic was established in 2017 in Brighton Victoria. We are psychologists and friends who share the same clinic space for our work (and referrals!), but we operate independently.  For this reason, we each have slightly different processes, hours of operation and methods of practice.  

When you call to make an appointment at APC we will help you to work out which therapist may be right for you and your unique situation. We can then book you in to your preferred therapists' diary directly, and provide you with that therapists' direct phone number for future contact.
​APC is explicitly and unashamedly an LGBTIQA+ friendly service. We want APC to be a safe place for absolutely everyone to be. No matter your background or circumstance or whatever issues you are dealing with - we want you to feel free to be yourself.
​We have a particular interest in offering WPATH assessments and letters for gender affirming HRT and surgery. We also have an interest in helping those struggling to recover from sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts (SOGICE survivors), a history of abuse or bullying within religious environments, or those who want to find harmony with both their sexual orientation and spiritual beliefs.
​Our clinic has also invested in a state of the art Virtual Reality system and VR software validated for enhanced psychology treatment. VR has been shown to enhance results of psychology treatment of various conditions such as social anxiety, agoraphobia, fear of flying, a wide variety of other phobias, PTSD presentations, depression, general anxiety, chronic pain, test anxiety, stress management, and more. We can even use our VR system remotely via telehealth!
