Partnering with Schools and Wellbeing Teams
HarbourLight Psychology is based in Melbourne and provides services in-clinic and via telehealth across Australia. Our team of registered psychologists supports students across a range of areas, including anxiety, low mood, stress, and neurodevelopmental presentations.
​
We work collaboratively with schools, families, and other professionals to support student wellbeing and engagement, and to help inform appropriate supports where needed.
​
Our Approach
Our approach is structured, collaborative, and responsive to the needs of each student. This may include:
​
-
Matching students with psychologists where appropriate to support engagement
-
Use of screening measures to inform clinical understanding and support planning
-
Feedback-informed approaches to monitor progress
-
Communication with schools and families where appropriate and with consent
Psychological assessment may also be used, where relevant, to support understanding of learning and developmental needs. Onsite assessments at schools may be available where appropriate and with school approval.
​
Our psychologists have experience working with children and adolescents and consider the broader school and home context when planning support.
