Psychology is the scientific and therapeutic study of the mind, emotions, and behaviour. But at its core, psychology is about people — understanding what it means to think, feel, and live as a human being.
​
At The Spring Clinic in Carlton, our psychologists work with you to explore your experiences and challenges in a safe and supportive space. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you cope, grow, and thrive.
​
Psychology sessions may involve talking about your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based strategies, our psychologists tailor treatment to your specific needs and preferences.
What is Psychology?
What we can help you with through psychology at The Spring Clinic
Psychology for Anxiety
Anxiety effects many people and comes in many different forms. Generally, anxiety can be understood as fearful predictions of unknown outcomes in the present or future. Anxiety may come in the form of social anxiety, panic attacks, fears of one's own or loved one's safety, or a general feeling of unease in the body which seems to come from nowhere.
At The Spring Clinic in Carlton, our psychologists specialise in anxiety treatment that helps you regain control and calm. Using proven, evidence-based therapies, we’ll work together to identify triggers, manage physical symptoms, and build confidence in facing fears — so you can move forward with greater ease and peace of mind.

Psychology for Eating Disorders in Carlton
Eating disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent, as the societal pressures through social media and advertising to adhere to particular ideals becomes increasingly difficult for both young women and men.
At The Spring Clinic, our psychologists in Carlton provide sensitive, respectful support for individuals experiencing eating disorders or body image concerns. Our psychologists are caring and sensitive to the difficult journey related to recovering from an eating disorder. With your psychologist at The Spring Clinic, you can explore underlying emotions, rebuild self-worth, and foster a more balanced relationship with food and your body.
Psychology for PTSD
Experiencing trauma can change how you see yourself, others, and the world. Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or symptoms of trauma, can feel like the world is continually spinning. The Spring Clinic psychologists are specially trained in helping people in the aftermath of a traumatic event, whether that be something recent which has occurred or something from many years ago for which you are yet to seek help.
Psychology for Depression
Depression can be a short term or long-term experience and consists of a persistent feeling of being disconnected from life, yourself or others. It may occur after the loss of a loved one or a hoped-for opportunity; or it sometimes feels like a shadow which has always been following you. Making sense of depression and gaining support to find slow, but important steps to regaining meaning in life is essential to regain meaning in life.
Our Carlton-based psychologists offer a compassionate, person-centred approach to understanding and managing depression. Through therapy, you’ll gain practical tools to lift mood, challenge negative thought patterns, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Queer Psychology in Carlton
At The Spring Clinic, we offer psychology for the LGBTQIA+ community. Being a member of the queer community often leads to unjust experiences of oppression and harm throughout one's lifetime. Experiencing implicit messages or being explicitly shamed for your sexual orientation, can contribute to mental health difficulties or compound existing vulnerabilities.
We have psychologists in Carlton who specialise in working the queer community and provide an affirming and space.
Psychology for Men in Carlton
Mental health support for men is not always easy. Whilst our culture is changing, many men haven't been encouraged to speak with others about their emotions. Taking the brave but unknown risk of speaking about your problems, is a big step. We have male psychologists in Carlton who understand the particular ways men think and will help you to get the support you need for challenges in your mental health, your work or relationships.
​
​Understanding and Awareness
One of the first ways psychology helps is by increasing self-awareness. Through therapy, you gain insight into how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact — and how they shape your experiences. This understanding empowers you to make conscious choices rather than reacting automatically or out of habit.
​
Emotional Regulation and Coping Skills
Life can bring stress, loss, and uncertainty. Psychology offers practical tools to manage difficult emotions, reduce distress, and build resilience. You’ll learn coping techniques to handle anxiety, sadness, anger, or overwhelm in healthier ways — so you can feel more in control and confident in your daily life.
​
Healing from the Past
Many people seek therapy to process past experiences or trauma that continue to affect them in the present. Psychology provides a safe, confidential environment where you can explore painful memories, find meaning, and begin to heal. Our psychologists in Carlton use evidence-based approaches to help you work through these experiences gently and effectively.
​
Building Stronger Relationships
Psychology also helps you understand how you relate to others — partners, family, friends, or colleagues. Through therapy, you can develop better communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate more fulfilling connections.
​
Personal Growth and Self-Development
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from psychology. Many people see a psychologist simply to enhance self-understanding, clarify goals, or improve wellbeing. Therapy can help you align your life with your values, strengthen self-esteem, and live more authentically.
