Psychological Counselling in Melbourne's West
Westside Psych is a Footscray based practice that provides access to friendly, evidence-based psychological counselling for a broad range of issues to people of all ages. Our rooms are conveniently located within a block of Footscray Station.
Mission
At Westside Psych, we believe two things above all else:
1. When it comes to Melbourne, westside is the best side.
2. Speaking to someone about your mental health shouldn't be a big deal.
Mental health difficulties are common. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has estimated almost half of all Australians (approximately 45%) will experience a mental health disorder at some point in their lives.
Fortunately, mental health issues are not only common, but treatable as well.
That's why at Westside Psych it is our mission to make psychological treatment readily accessible to the good people of Melbourne's west (along with anybody else who sees the benefit of having their therapist within a stone's throw from the best bahn mi in town).

How Westside began
I've worked in Melbourne's West for over ten years. Like most locals, I can point you to the best pho in Footscray, Sunshine and Sunbury, excellent fried chicken in WeFo and Werribee, top-notch coffee in Seddon, Yarraville, and Spotswood, and fantastic fish and chips in Altona and Williamstown.
The people of the West deserve to enjoy the same abundance of options when it comes to counselling and psychological services.
I started Westside Psych to establish a network of friendly, passionate, and experienced mental health practitioners in the place where I love to work (and eat).
