About Us

The UQ Psychology Clinic has been providing mental health services to the community for over twenty-five years.

We provide psychological and counselling assistance that is both caring and supportive.

The Clinic offers cognitive assessment and therapy services to people of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults and older adults.

Treatment at the UQ Psychology Clinic is provided by provisional psychologists and counselling students who are currently undertaking advanced postgraduate studies in Psychology (including Masters, Professional Doctorate, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees) or Master of Counselling programs. All provisional psychologists are provisionally registered with the Psychology Board of Australia, and receive regular professional supervision from fully qualified, senior Clinical Psychologists and Clinical Neuropsychologists. Counselling students receive regular supervision from appropriately qualified counsellors.

The UQ Psychology Clinic offers treatment options for children, adolescents and adults experiencing mental health difficulties and related diagnoses. A variety of ‘evidence-based’ therapies are offered, meaning that research has demonstrated that the approach may effectively reduces mental health difficulties or distress.

The UQ Psychology Clinic also conducts research aimed at improving our understanding of mental health difficulties and how best to treat them. Occasionally a referred client may be offered the opportunity to participate in research projects. At no time are treatment services contingent on clients agreeing to participate in research, and all information gathered for research purposes remains confidential. For example, the Centre for Health Outcomes, Innovation and Clinical Education (CHOICE) provides support for research projects and dissemination of outcomes in the School of Psychology’s clinical training program, for postgraduate students as well as academic staff.
