Supporting neurodivergent adults using coaching and psychological support.
At PAWS Psychology, we offer warm, evidence-informed support for children, teens, adults and parents—helping you make sense of what’s going on, build practical skills, and move toward the life you want. We’re a neuro-affirming, strengths-based practice, and we tailor therapy and coaching to your goals, needs and pace. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, mood, stress, life transitions, or neurodivergent wellbeing, you’ll be met with respect, curiosity and care.
Our Eltham clinic is a calm, welcoming space designed to help you feel more at ease, with nature-based options available (including outdoor and “walk and talk” sessions). If you’d like, trained therapy dogs—or even a cat friend—can be part of your sessions to support comfort, connection and regulation. We also offer psychological assessments and can liaise with other professionals when helpful. You’re welcome to book sessions to be held in-clinic or via Telehealth—whatever feels most accessible for you and is most appropriate.
Animal Assisted Therapy
The human-animal bond that occurs between an individual and a therapy dog can elicit many positive outcomes, notably, increasing the attachment response that triggers the hormone oxytocin, which increases trust in humans. In addition, research has shown therapy dogs can help reduce stress. We also offer cats for those who prefer a feline friend.
A unique and tranquil therapy haven with landscaped garden areas and gentle animal connections
A Space Designed for Your Wellbeing
PAWS Psychology offers a unique experience grounded in best practice mental health research. Our large, landscaped setting and cosy cottage create a calm, restorative environment away from the busyness of everyday life.
We offer a range of nature based therapy options—including outdoor sessions, play based sessions, garden-themed sessions and walk and talk therapy—to support regulation, movement, and connection with nature.
With onsite parking and convenient access to public transport, shops, and cafés, your visit to PAWS Psychology is welcoming, simple, and stress free.
OUR approach
Discover how we can make a difference for you
Our team's specific area of interest is supporting neurodiverse children and young people. We focus on helping them recognise and capitalise on their strengths while developing strategies to minimise and manage challenges.
Following an assessment and potential diagnosis, our team communicates with other specialists, such as paediatricians or psychiatrists, to develop or reinforce appropriate scaffolds with practical and teachable tools and strategies.
Our services are conducted in beautifully landscaped surroundings in Eltham, located in the northeastern suburbs of Melbourne. This tranquil rural environment provides access to outdoor activities and areas for children and young people to enjoy.
