Meet our Team

Whatever help you need, we’re here for you

At Bellarine Psychology, we want to strengthen the wellbeing of the Bellarine Peninsula and the surrounding Geelong community through compassionate, evidence-based care. Being a large, multidisciplinary team of clinicians means if one clinician isn’t the right fit, there’s almost always someone else within our team who is.

Our clinicians include clinical psychologists, registered psychologists, counselling psychologists, provisional psychologists, accredited mental health social workers, accredited counsellors, and a speech pathologist, all registered with AHPRA, APS, AAPI or AASW as relevant to their discipline.

We’re a trauma-informed, neuroaffirming clinic, and we’re invested in helping you find a clearer path forward, whatever that looks like for you.
