We have received your information and added you to the waitlist.

For more information on how we manage your health information please review the Disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

In the meantime, download our Welcome Pack which has a summary of the key information to prepare you for a first session.

Please note that we will begin attempting to find a suitable match for your referral needs and an available member of our team. Occasionally we are unable to find a match and in these instances we will try and advise you of another suitable clinic.

We may also contact you to gather some further information in order to ensure we have a suitable team member to work with you.

Recommended Support Resources:

We appreciate that it can be very difficult when you don't have a clear indication of when support will be available. In the interim, self-directed online Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy courses have been proven to be an effective way of improving mild to moderate mental health problems. Courses for adolescents and children include THIS WAY UP and The BRAVE Program.

The VIC government currently has an initiative running in which families can access the evidence-based Triple P Program online for free for the next 12 months. The Child and Teen programs are aimed at developing resilient kids in the midst of challenging behaviours and anxiety at home.

To better understand the level of distress for the person being referred, Beyond Blue offers a free interactive tool.

For immediate crisis support, please utilise the helplines below or alternatively contact Barwon Health Triage Crisis Support on 1300 094 187.

Purpose of this form or questionnaire

This form is used only to help our team understand your needs and determine whether we can offer the right type of support and which of our clinicians would be a suitable match.

How your information is used

The details you provide are viewed only by authorised members of the Strength Psychology team.
Your information is kept securely and is used only for:

• contacting you about your enquiry, and

• helping us understand which clinician may be the best fit.

Limitations

• Completing this form does not make you a client of Strength Psychology.

• Whilst we usually are quick to triage new referrals and we try to ensure wait times are minimal, we cannot guarantee a timeframe in which you can be seen and due to this our service may not be suitable if you’re in a crisis situation.

Risks and things to be aware of

Some people may feel emotional or uncomfortable when reflecting on stress, parenting, or wellbeing.
If anything you reflected on has raised concerns or you feel distressed, please reach out to your GP, a trusted support, or an appropriate service.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please contact 000, Lifeline (13 11 14), or another crisis service.
