Life with Lawson Clinical Psychology

Our passion lies in delivering, developing and evaluating evidence-based psychological treatments for people of all ages. A collaborative approach allows us to enjoy lasting relationships with both our clients and other allied health professionals.

We take pride in a reputation for excellence and our focus on quality was demonstrated when the practice was selected as one of five finalists nationwide at the Australian Allied Health Awards 2018.

“There is a genuine care for personal/professional development as opposed to a push to make money for the practice. I believe this actually fosters a desire to do well for the self and the practice. Therefore the culture reflects an investment in individual’s own growth, rather than of profit.”
– Clinical Psychologist 

“We are a well supported and well resourced team, there is plenty of scope to explore individual interests and practice goals, to develop new capabilities through supervision (peer and individual), logistical and pragmatic aspects are held by the client relationship team which gives clinician’s  space to focus on their clinical work. It is a very supportive environment for a new clinician and a great place to undertake the registrar program.” – Clinical Psychology Registrar
