About our clinic

The Swinburne Psychology Clinic was established in 1990 to provide a range of low-cost psychological services to the Melbourne community. We have now achieved an enviable reputation, not only for our services, but also for our teaching and research.

We provide a unique avenue for individuals to access ongoing professional counselling without limitations on the number of sessions. Each year we provide over 500 individuals with access to low-cost counselling, psychological assessment and group therapy treatment. 

Now one of the largest university clinics in Australia, our role is vital in the training of future psychologists – providing them with the appropriate experience, training and clinical skills they need to work independently. 

All work conducted by counsellors at the clinic is supervised by fully registered psychologists with significant academic and applied training who provide support, practical advice and feedback to counsellors and therapists.

We offer face-to-face counselling and group consultations at our clinic, as well as video and phone counselling consultations. These sessions are securely accessible via any device.
