About Us

Melbourne Health Psychology Centre (MHPC) provides evidence based high quality treatment for a wide range of psychological problems. While may psychological treatments are focused on symptom relief, we firmly believe that for the therapy to be most effective it is important to  target both the symptoms AND the underlying ‘core’ problems, setting up direction towards the growth and fulfillment and making sure that same problem does not return in the form of other symptoms.

Because of our active, meticulous and personal approach based on honest and open collaboration many of our clients report significant long-term improvement, which only continue to grow and have more positive impact on their lives with time.

Our main task is to help our clients to gain internal freedom from unnecessary fears and suffering, and to achieve mental fitness which would allow them to live their lives up to their full potential.

Our basic values are integrity and thriving for excellence.

The main principles that guide our professional conduct are:

      • Do no harm: always listen and help the client with their immediate fears and suffering

      • Be honest and caring: promote awareness in a supportive manner

      • Respect and encourage: provide safe and dynamic space to grow
