Most people find their Melbourne psychologist either through online searches, word of mouth, or through referral from their doctor.

If you’d like help with being linked in with a Melbourne psychologist and/or trauma therapist who is well suited to your needs, the Psychologist Melbourne Services team at Cova Psychology can help! Our intake staff take into account your preferences, specific mental and physical health issues, as well as the type of psychological treatment you’re seeking, to match you to the best psychologist for you.

At Cova Psychology, our experienced psychologists in Melbourne, including directors, Sarah and Chris, provide warm, evidence based care to suit you. Whether you’re seeking a psychologist or clinical psychologist in the Melbourne CBD, we’re here to support you with expertise and kindness.

We see complex mental health issues, trauma, and long term emotional challenges. Our individualised, evidence based treatment plans are informed by the latest research to ensure the best care and long term change for your well being and mental health.

Client feedback drives our practice so we can continually improve our services to meet your needs and get the best outcomes for you.

When you first contact Cova Psychology, our friendly and experienced reception team will ask you a series of questions to match you with the right psychologist for you:

1. What are you seeking therapy for?

2. Are there any specific treatment approaches you are interested in or have been recommended to you?

3. Are there any preferences you have for your therapist, gender, age, experience?

4. What days and times are you available for appointments?

This initial contact is designed to help build a strong therapeutic relationship with your psychologist so you feel supported and heard from the get go.

We can’t guarantee a perfect match with your psychologist but we encourage open communication with us if you have any concerns. If you don’t feel your psychologist is the right fit, please talk to them or our admin team.
