Considering Eucalyptus Psychology?

Here's what to know

Thank you for considering Eucalyptus Psychology. We’re really glad you’ve found your way here.

The clinicians at Eucalyptus Psychology provide evidence-based psychological therapy and psychiatric care for adolescents and adults in a calm, compassionate, and supportive setting. We also offer comprehensive psychological and psychiatric assessments for ADHD, ASD, and neurodevelopmental presentations.

We know that reaching out for support can feel daunting—and it’s okay not to have it all figured out. We’re here to help guide you. Before you complete our intake form, we’d like to share a few important details to help you decide whether our service is the right fit for your needs.

A little about what we do - and don’t - offer

The psychologists at Eucalyptus Psychology work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life stress, grief, and many other challenges. We aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. There are, however, some situations where a different kind of service might be more appropriate or helpful. For example:
We’re a private clinic, not an emergency or crisis service. This means we aren’t equipped to provide urgent or outreach care, or multidisciplinary case management.
Some presentations are best supported through more specialised or intensive services. These may include:

  • Acute mental health crises or current thoughts of suicide requiring urgent care
  • Complex or high-risk presentations such as:
    • Severe psychosis, mania, or active substance dependence
    • Significant eating disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa)
    • Complex personality disorders
    • Gender dysphoria (we recommend connecting with gender-affirming specialist services)

We also don’t currently offer:

  • Family therapy
  • Sex therapy
  • Neuropsychological or cognitive assessments
  • Legal, forensic, or court-related reports
  • Therapy for children under 5
  • Weekend or after-hours appointments

Not sure if we’re the right fit?

That’s completely okay. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out—we’ll do our best to guide you in the right direction, even if that’s not with us.

Please note that submitting an intake form does not guarantee an appointment, but our intake team thoughtfully reviews every submission and works to match clients with the most suitable psychologist. We aim to respond within one week.

For young people aged 14–18

If you’re a teenager seeking support, you’re welcome to complete the intake form yourself. In Victoria, mature minors can consent to psychological treatment. Wherever possible, we encourage family involvement – if that feels safe and appropriate for you.

Seeing a Psychiatrist

To book an appointment with a psychiatrist, please ask your GP or specialist to send a referral letter to reception@eucalyptuspsychology.com.au or call reception on (03) 8740 3754. New psychiatry clients use the same online intake form as psychology clients. When completing the form, please select ‘Psychiatry’ rather than ‘Psychology’ as your service type. Once reception has received your referral and intake form, you will be contacted to arrange your appointment.

A GP or specialist referral is required to access Medicare rebates. There is no session cap for psychiatric consultations. WorkSafe, TAC, and DVA are accepted. Bulk billing is not routinely offered but may be considered in exceptional circumstances at the psychiatrist’s discretion.

If you need immediate support, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, dial 000, or attend your nearest emergency department.
