At Acorn Psychology, we are a group of clinical psychologists and clinical psychology registrars based in Canterbury, Victoria. We share a belief that best practice psychological therapy offered within a warm and supportive environment can be life changing. We complete assessments in line with the Practice Guidelines, for children and adults. We utilise a model of care to support our clients with CBT based skills, while working on rebuilding self-esteem and sense of self. We also work with functional supports around executive function.
We work with children, adolescents and adults and draw from our combined experience in hospital, university, community and private practice settings to offer a service that is both professional and compassionate. As a team, including outstanding and caring reception staff, we seek to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality assistance from the moment they first make contact.
