University of Canberra Psychology Clinic

At the UC Psychology Clinic we offer low cost evidence-based psychological services to UC students and the community.

Sessions are conducted by Provisional Psychologists who are in their fifth year of psychology training and completing their Masters/PhD in Clinical Psychology degree. The Provisional Psychologists are accredited to practice under the close supervision of Clinical Psychologists, to ensure best practice and standards, high-quality treatment plans are completed for each client. We operate Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday between 9:00am - 5:00pm.

The UC Psychology Clinic works with children (7 years+), adolescents and adults who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues. Specifically, the Clinic has expertise in treating presentations of:

Anxiety disorders

Mood disorders

Self-esteem

Stress related concerns

Grief & adjustment

Anger management & dysregulated emotion

Sleep issues; and Social skills.

If a referral is deemed suitable for treatment in the clinic an initial 80-minute assessment session will be booked. Following the assessment process, a specific treatment plan will be developed by the provisional psychologist and clinical supervisor to guide future treatment. Subsequent sessions will last 50 minutes and be scheduled weekly.

Referrals for individual therapy are accepted throughout the year, however at times the intake can be closed due to high demand. Please contact the UC Health Clinics reception for information on the expected wait-list time frames.
