Welcome to AMH Psychology!

 

AMH Psychology is a therapeutic psychotherapy service supporting adults and adolescents across Melbourne, Australia and internationally.  We welcome privately-funded self-referrals as well as referrals through Medicare, NDIS and Berry Street funding. 

 

Our work includes individual therapy for OCD, stress and anxiety-related concerns, as well as evidence-based reflective group designed for parents and grandparents aiming to strengthen healthy emotional attachment and resilience in younge children for a brighter future. ​​

 

We are dedicated to making therapy accessible so you can receive the care despite busy meetings,  long commutes to the clinic or limited physical capacity, and provide both online Telehealth sessions and in-person consultations. Telehealth has become increasingly popular since the COVID-19 pandemic, and several recent peer-reviewed studies have shown effectiveness comparable to in-person therapy.

We value and respect every individual and their unique differences. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to celebrating and supporting diversity in gender, race, culture, abilities and professions, ensuring a safe and welcoming space for all.  We are proud allies of the LGBTIQ+ and AuDHD communities and wholeheartedly embrace a Neurodiversity Affirmative (NDA) approach to care.

​

At AMH Psychology, we specialise in effective treatment modalities, incorporating three of the six leading evidence-based therapies available today. Click on the links below to learn more about each of our clinical approaches.

​​

• Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) provides a systematic way to examine our thoughts and beliefs of the world to facilitate changes to our thinking patterns, which subsequently informs our emotional reactions and behaviours. This type of work can be very useful in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. To read more about CBT, please visit the Beck Institute. 

​​

• Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an accelerated form of psychodynamic therapy designed to provide rapid access to the unconscious. ISTDP helps one to observe one's long-term patterns of behaviours and gain insight into how our early life continues to influence the way we experience and interact with the world.  It is a powerful form of therapy with research showing long-lasting benefits, more than the other evidence-based therapy (Leichsenring, 2023). To read more about its effectiveness, please visit the ISTDP UK.

​​

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is an non-invasive effective trauma therapy that "neutralises" trauma memories through bilateral stimulation (typically via eye movements). EMDR is often associated with an accelerated learning and rapid reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with trauma memories.  To read more about EMDR, please visit the EMDR International Association. ​​
