Who We Are

Established in 2012, Aurora Psychology provides psychology and psychotherapy services to adults, adolescents, children, and couples, along with supervision for professionals. We have locations in the eastern and inner north-western suburbs of Melbourne.

We have a particular interest in working with individuals who are looking for in-depth psychotherapy to better understand themselves and work through long-standing challenges. Our team comprises a range of clinicians with different approaches, interests, and skills, meaning that you can choose the clinician and approach that works best for you.

“We are always in a perpetual state of being created and creating ourselves.”

Daniel Siegel, The Developing Mind: How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are, Second Edition, p. 201
