Meet The Team

Who we are​

Adelaide Psychological Services is a group psychology and psychiatry practice. With over 18 years of serving our local community, we’re passionate about mental health.

We offer assessment and therapy to adults, children, teens, couples and families. We help our clients build upon their strengths so they can learn to better manage their symptoms, current stresses and relationships so they can get the most out of their lives.

We believe that feeling better is possible and it drives everything we do. We are an outcomes-based practice, and we put our clients’ needs first. Not only that, but we’re aware of the current issues facing waiting times for clients at the moment, and have taken steps to reduce that dramatically. We feel that everyone has the right to good mental health and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that is always possible.
