Referrals

The UQ Psychology Clinic offers both therapy (provided by provisional psychologists or counselling students) and assessment services (provided by provisional psychologists).

Please see therapies and services for more information about each of our services to assist you in deciding what might best suit your current needs.

There are two ways to be referred to the UQ Psychology Clinic: self-referrals or referring someone else.

Please contact us if you are unsure about the most appropriate method for you.

Self referrals

Members of the public may contact the UQ Psychology Clinic directly to make an appointment, both for themselves or for their child.

Please note, our assessment referral form is not available as our waitlist is currently closed.

Referred clients are placed on a waiting list and will be contacted as soon as a provisional psychologist or counselling student is available to see the client. Please note that waiting list times will vary throughout the year depending on demand.

Once allocated to a clinician, the client will be contacted to arrange an appointment. During this first appointment, details about their current situation and previous history will be collected.

If it is determined that the UQ Psychology Clinic is not the most appropriate service for the client, they will be referred to other suitable services either at the time of first calling the Clinic, or after the first appointment, should it become clear that our services are not the best way forward. It is therefore important that if you have any concerns as to whether the Clinic services are appropriate that you discuss these with admin staff or the Clinic Manager.

Referring someone else

As a health professional or organisation working with people, you may have clients or patients who would benefit from seeing a psychologist or counselling student for therapy or assessment. You can refer someone to our Clinic by completing the relevant referral form below and emailing it to our admin team, or by telephoning or emailing the Clinic directly for further information.

As a training clinic, we do not require a mental health care plan, you can simply refer someone to our services.
