Affinity Therapy provides psychological assessment, treatment, and counselling services to individuals aged 16 and older in Preston, Melbourne. Our goal is to create a welcoming, comfortable, and affordable space where clients can access high-quality care. Everyone deserves the opportunity to receive psychological support without financial strain or long waiting times. By using evidence-based practices and drawing on a broad range of mental health experience, our therapists provide personalised care tailored to each individual's well-being.
We believe in a community where people are valued for their strengths and resilience, not just their challenges. At Affinity Therapy, we provide a supportive environment where clients can focus on improving their mental well-being, much like seeking medical care for physical health. Our therapists assist clients in building self-awareness, developing coping strategies for everyday challenges, and improving relationships and family dynamics when needed. Counselling at Affinity Therapy is available to everyone, even without a clinical diagnosis.

We also recognise the importance of tailored support for neurodiverse clients. Our therapists ADHD experience allows us to provide guidance and strategies that align with individual needs, helping clients navigate daily life with greater confidence.
Our psychologists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and follow the ethical guidelines set by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria.
You might have found us online or you might have a referral from your GP. You will need this for Medicare rebated sessions. You can contact us on 1300 898 963 or at info@affinitytherapy.net.au to start the intake process.
We will go through the intake process with you over the phone. We will discuss your concerns and booking preferences to determine if we are the right fit. If so, you will then select a date and time for your appointment with a therapist.
In the first appointment, we will discuss your mental health history, social history, medical history, and family history. We will also establish therapy goals. This is also a great time to ask your psychologist questions.
