Cova Psychology was founded for Melbourne-based therapists who are highly skilled, passionate about providing quality psychological therapy, and seeking an environment that fully supports their work. At Cova Psychology, we offer the highest level of guidance and support to help you focus on what matters most—your clients and your own well-being. We understand that when psychologists and therapists feel comfortable and supported in their surroundings, they can deliver their best work, benefiting both themselves and their clients.
We welcome a variety of disciplines, including psychologists, clinical psychologists, EMDR therapists, mental health-accredited social workers, and occupational therapists. Whether you want to work face-to-face in our Melbourne CBD location or offer telehealth services from home, we’d love to hear from you!

Principal psychologists, Sarah and Chris, are experienced Clinical Psychologists and are both Board-approved supervisors. They provide over-arching clinical direction and quality assurance to the Cova practice as well as supporting all of the Cova therapists via monthly 1:1 supervision and peer consultation groups, as well as on a more ad hoc basis whenever the need arises.
Being able to working alongside others is very important for many psychologists in private practice. At Cova Psychology we have cultivated a friendly and collegial workspace, where we aim to share and learn from each other’s collective wisdom as well as support each other through the ebbs and flows of the work we all do.
Sarah and Chris specialise in providing training and supervision in regards to a range of areas including:
On a semi-regular basis, external trainers and supervisors will attend Cova’s team meeting to provide additional professional development.
Cova’s Administration team provide a warm, empathic, and professional service. They have excellent coverage and take care of virtually all the administrative needs of our therapists and their clients. They have a strong knowledge of Medicare and the NDIS and can help guide you on any new developments.
Cova has attracted therapists who share an understanding of the impact of psychological trauma and how to work sensitively with that. In addition, the Cova therapists have a wide range of other interests and specialisations, and these have continued to broaden as the team has grown.
At Cova Psychology, you have complete autonomy over your practice, from your hours to the the types of presentations you want to work with…you choose! We will guide you and help you grow.
Cova Psychology provides therapists with an ever-growing resource library as well as a a range of psychometric measures and tests (all of which can be accessed/administered physically and electronically). Other resources include IT support for internet and telehealth, printing/photocopying, devices for EMDR bilateral stimulation, and range of self-soothing tools
Our rooms at Cova have been stylishly designed to provide therapists and clients with a space that feels comfortable and welcoming.
We pride ourselves on providing a high value service to our clinicians where comprehensive and high quality support is provided at a highly competitive rate. Cova Psychology uses a non-restrictive Service & Facilities Agreement to define its relationship with therapists.
“I have been working at Cova Psychology since mid 2019, and I continue to be grateful for the professionalism of the team, the friendly atmosphere, the lovely rooms, and the supportive administrative staff. Cova Psychology’s focus is on integrity, professionalism, and continuous learning through peer and individual supervision. Indeed, peer supervision often involves professional development opportunities, with the directors, Sarah and Chris, recruiting experts in the field to share their knowledge. I can highly recommend Cova Psychology to any early career or experienced psychologist looking to work in private practice.”
Elizabeth Tupper, Clinical Psychologist
“I recently started working for Cova Psychology and I am so impressed and delighted by the warmth and support at the practice. The principal psychologists are available and encouraging of both individual agency and comradery within the practice. The administrative staff are amazing and means that I can focus entirely on clinical work. It is a fantastic team and I would very much recommend Cova Psychology to psychologists looking for a Private Practice.”
