Dana Comben

Past employee. Equilibrium is a beautiful place to work. All psychologists here deeply care about their clients progress which has been so heartening to see. All processes are very professional and I couldn't recommend this place any higher whether you're a client or future employee

Katherine Yang

Highly do not recommend this place. Very busy clinic. The psychologists don’t even have time to see patients as they themselves have too many. Have to book a few weeks or a month prior to be able to see a psychologist but of what help they can be if it were a crisis or urgent matter. If you are not on medicare, it is very expensive. One session is $220 an hour. According to their clinic policy, the psychologist cannot provide any documentation for insurance, legal matters or academic purposes. Very rigid policy. Please check with their policies before applying to seek help from a psychologist here. Very rigid and old fashioned way of communication. My psychologist only works on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. According to clinic policy, she can only receive and respond to emails when she is in office. So, it is hard to contact them when they are not in office especially if it were a very urgent matter that required their attention. Been seeing this psychologist for the past year at this clinic. The psychologist initially had a treatment plan for me but never really did what she promised over the course. The first 3 consultations were just talk about how this plan will help me without doing much and as you can imagine one session is already very expensive. At the end, she didn’t really stick with the treatment plan as promised. There were just a lot of talk without the action of the plan.

Adam Niewand

I cannot recommend Equilibrium Psychology enough. As a small business owner, the service provided by EP for our EAP (Employee Assistance Program) is second to none. Highly professional staff from the front desk to the wonderfully experienced Psychologists. The location, the atmosphere and the splendid service makes the whole experience ideal. Thank you for your service Equilibrium, we will continue to work with you for our EAP for a long time to come.

Mark Berkelmans

I would almost go here for fun. From the initial intake, to the receptionist, to the actual therapy sessions, I felt right at home. I was seeing a different therapist before I started going to Equilibrium, and felt like "a number" there and felt like I wasn't making any progress. However from my first session with Gemma at Equilibrium I noticed I started making progress. I felt genuinely cared for without any judgement. Every session I got new tools and skills that I could use in my day to day life. Even when things were going better and I didn't "need" therapy as much anymore, I received a friendly follow up email to simply check in and see how I was doing. If I needed to see someone ad hoc, I would always hear back from someone within a few hours to confirm availability and was normally able to see my therapist the next day. It only happened once there wasn't availability till another week, and within an hour a phone call was scheduled without any additional costs to offer any immediate assistance. They assisted / advised me exactly how to arrange everything financially, and the payment/rebate process is always easy. For me visiting Equilibrium and my psychologist Gemma has been one of the best decisions of my life, and I cannot recommend this place enough.

Robert Domanko

Friendly supportive environment. Treated me with respect. Made me comfortable. Kept my privacy to the max. Great communicators. Kept me informed. Easily reachable and responsive by phone and email.

Mark B

Great location and central to transport and business CBD with flexible hours to suit all time frames. Genuine, discreet, thorough and friendly reception staff that go out of their way to slot in a requested appointment. Highly recommended by an established client that values the range of professional services provided.

Dan Zaarour

I was immediately put at ease by the friendly and professional staff at Equilibrium. Being a first time visitor I was a little apprehensive but they took the time to fully explain the process and were able to offer appointments at times that were convenient for me, which was a huge help. Great location right near Wynyard station and really nice office space too.

Eamon McCurry

Having experienced what Equilibrium Psychology has to offer, I am very happy with the service I received. Very professional and friendly staff. I was seen quickly and given great personal follow up.

Victor Marco

I didn’t add other bad experiences with relationship counsellor, Anna Johnson. I also liked talking things through with my ex partner and she would say to my ex that “he is trying to trap you into keeping relationship” which is untrue. This prices she is cruel & incompetent. In addition, after the breakup she would say in a rude manner “She has already made a decision!”. Anna Johnson also shifts blame on my ex partner for not willing to co-operate which is untrue. It was Anna Johnson who encouraged her to break up with me. She said to my ex that she should have broken up with me months earlier. Relationship counselling with Anna Johnson has been an extremely traumatic experience for me. Please avoid Anna Johnson for relationship counselling if you want to keep your relationship. Anna Johnson deserves a zero for her incompetent service!

Victor Marco

Anna Johnson Terrible service! Asked my girlfriend at the time to push her away from me. She asked me and my ex partner not to contact one another for 1 week. In the next session she was encouraging my ex girlfriend to breakup with me & she listened. When me & my ex partner were talking downstairs, she was be so rude by looking, same as when I was sobbing after the breakup. If you want to have a stable relationship, please avoid her. Whether it was incompetence or malice remains to be seen.....

I couldn't speak highly enough about my experiences with Blue Horizon. Yuliya and Sam are both fantastic. Yuliya has a way of making you look at your life from a different perspective. She provides you with the tools to create actionable plans without pushing or pressuring you. She also shares a lot of great resources for you to pursue between sessions. I am not one who easily opens up but Yuliya creates a very safe and comfortable space and I now genuinely look forward to my session. I am extremely grateful for the impact she has already had on my life. I also want to give a shout out to Sam. Sam has been amazing at organising all the logistics with Blue Horizon. She has supported me through the medicare process giving me very helpful, professional advice. She is always quick to respond and happy to pick up the phone if something needs a little more detail. I have a lot of appreciation for the team here and as mentioned above, would highly recommend.

Gemma

I’ve been seeing Dr Richard for about 6 months now. I came to her an overworked stress head with no balance in life. With her help I’ve taken control back of my journey and feel refreshed and renewed ready to take on the world, while uncovering some root causes to this tendency. Dr Richard is a wonderful listener and prompter who will never tell you what to do but has an amazing talent for helping you get yourself there. She’s also tough and there’s no hiding from yourself when you’re in session, you’ll reflect deeply afterward as well. Without my time with Dr Richard my life right now would be very different and I’m grateful for her guidance and proud of myself for taking these steps.

Martin Bersagol

Best psychologist in town, Dr Richard helped me to better manage my impulsive behaviours.

Oliver Caprile

Yuliya is an expert in her field and is very knowledgable about all topics of psychology.

DreadnarkOfficial

Dr Yuliya has been absolutely fantastic. When I first visited, I honestly felt quite hopeless and depressed. With Yuliya's guidance, I've been able to make changes faster than I thought possible and I'm now very confident to take on my future challenges. I'm in a much better spot now :)

John Procter

I have tried a few Psychologists in the past with little luck. I have been seeing Yuliya for 8 sessions to date and would highly recommend her to anyone. Her sessions have helped me immensely!

Steve Shortnose

I am so grateful that I found Yuliya. She was recommended to me as someone who could really help me when I was at my lowest. I didn't have any expectations going in, but in just a few short months I feel ready to face and embrace the future, without looking back with shame on the past. Yuliya has provided me with practical, empathetic, evidence based insights that help me make sense of where I have been and where I am going, brighter and more certain of what is right for me and my family. Thank you :)

Michelle K

Yuliya is truly wonderful, talented and a rare find. She has helped me so much over the last 2 years through some big life transitions. She is warm, welcoming, insightful, knowledgeable and highly skilled. She creates a very comfortable environment and I leave every session with more clarity, perspective and optimism. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Denise Davies

Part of he rent-a-witness industry who say anything for cash in the hope that most family law judges are not especially bright and often truly gullible. "Dr " Lennings was a major proponent of The McIntosh- Chisholm child hypothesis for over a decade until it was laughed out of existence. Rather than take advice from people with Kellogs Cornflake degrees ring a psychiatrist instead- they are proper doctors.

Tarnia Lang

I 100% agree with all the comments here. I would love to say more however them lining their pockets at the expense of families and victims isn’t worth it.

jacqui roberts

Lots of angry dads here I see. Get over it. All family courts deny fathers equal time. Lennings is not at fault, and he is not a child predator. Yes, its a pity that what he relied on for a decade has now been discredited but how was he to know? All psychology changes ever 25 years or so. Fathers who want equal time should go to Parliament, not try and have Dr Lennings imprisoned. Its not fraud. Its just an opinion

Ian McMaster

Get a copy of the police record for Lennings before employing them or having some dim witted judge appoint them against your wishes. You can never be too careful in family law matters when courts outsource decision making to people of this low calibre.

Robert Grey

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS! IT IS JUST A BUSINESS WITH NO ETHICS OR PRINCIPLES, MONEY MAKING MACHINE, WITH KATY SEIDLER IN CHARGE OF IT ALL. These people destroy families while charging you tens of thousands of dollars to write a family court. In half an hour with a child they determine their future and the future of the entire family. My report was an absolute slapdash. It had wrong names throughout and half of the stuff appeared to be copied and pasted from other reports as it was totally irrelevant to the matter. This should give you an idea how these reports are written yet they are not shy to charge $$$$$$$. To question or cross examine that, I was asked to pay thousands. Appalling especially in a profession with so much power! These people should be reported!!!

jenny lee

Better of with a proper psychiatrist (a doctor). Psychology is flaky stuff thats little better than counselling.

diedre mcbean

Put children at risk. Complete bufoons

Nakatomi Plaza

Keep yourkids childhood predator free. Stay 100 miles away from Lennings and the LSC Fraud Factory.

Mia Spasic

I had a terrible experience with IP and I'm really disappointed with their services. I tried to book in for an appointment on MULTIPLE occasions, only to be ignored. I first sent an email to inquire about a session, no response. A few days later I called to follow up and spoke with Louise, who took my details and said someone would call me later that day, no one did. A few more days passed without communication and so, anxiously, I rung back. This time I spoke to Rachel, and expressed that this was proving to be quite stressful, due to the amount of failed attempts to book in. I mentioned that they were a mental health provider and should understand duty of care. Imagine if I'd been suicidal and this was my last attempt to get help, only to be ignored - what sort of message does that send? She explained that this was not how Indigo Project operated, and assured me someone would get back to me by close of business THAT DAY. I hung up, finally feeling some relief that help was coming except I was ONCE AGAIN ignored. I was shocked and so disheartened, but I waited a few days, as I knew they were busy. Still, no response came. Nothing. At this point it was just down right rude and disrespectful and I was done. A week went by and I finally got a follow up email (not phone call) that asked if I was still interested in receiving therapy sessions. I responded with a similar review as above, and informed them I would not be continuing with their services, due to the rejection I was subjected to. But I did ask that my email be passed on to whomever needed to see it, so that this didn't happen to someone else in the future. I got ZERO response. No acknowledgement, no apology, just ignored once again. I was truly in disbelief at the negligence. Indigo Project you had almost made me give up on therapy. I am fortunate that my support system is strong, and encouraged me to go elsewhere, otherwise I'm scared to think what would have happened. Shame on you.

Cheryl Mack

The people here are so amazing. The best experience I’ve had with therapy ever, 100% across the board. They were easy to find, use, and absolutely care more about the patients that their own interest. 10/10 would recommend.

Luke

Without a doubt the best therapy studio I have ever been to! Amazing workshops, yoga, mental health care professionals and a truly relaxing vibe. Martha is a truly fantastic psychologist and I could not recommend her more highly :)

Farah Hany

I always notice the moment I step into Indigo, I instantly relax. From the ambient music to the lounge space and the tea - I always look forward to coming. They approach mental health in a progressive and very real, personal way. Rashida has changed my life. I'm so grateful for her. Thank you for the services you offer. The 'Listen Up' sound meditation experience is also amazing.

Jodie C

Both their courses and one-on-one therapy are great. They're welcoming, helpful and real. Highly recommend.

Linda Marinovic

Such a beautiful inclusive safe space. Indigo Project was recommended by a friend and i have gained so much from their advise and would recommend to anyone needing any kind of support. Down-to-earth people with a good attitude and outlook on life. You won’t regret it.

Stephen William Spratt

This place is great. The Psychologists are well-credentialed, but also real-world and have been through stuff themselves. Group classes and courses make it a unique space, where you can work through your stuff in community, but always with guidance and support.

Flip Prior

I have experienced loads of wonderful, heart-warming and personal development focused times at Indigo Project ... from meditation workshops and music focused weekends away to amazing experiences like Listen Up, which everyone has to try at least once in their life! Mary and Rich and the team really care about their clients and have put a lot of time into building up a friendly and curious community of like-minded souls, built around kindness. I love it and if I don't do something Indigo related at least once a month I miss it badly! Check it out - you won't regret it.

I would not recommend. Business managers keen to make the sale, ie sign up for inflexible expensive testing asap. Felt very pressured when all I wanted to do was help my son feel better. Our medical centre was appalled at our experience, and has said they will no longer refer patients here.

Beau Gaudron

Called to enquire about workshops that were available and all my questions and concerns were thoroughly answered.

21st century

Do not go to this place. Run as a business, for maximum profit and too rigid to allow good client care

Patrice

Wanted to book my son in with mild ASD into one of their 3 hour only workshops but was told I would need to have a consultation which I needed to PAY for just to work out if he was suitable! I think there are kids without a diagnosis who would be way less suitable than him but of course they don't need to be screened first because they don't have Autism! Another organisation discriminating against autism. They should know better.

Sarah Jones

Dodgy location - feels like a pop up shop. They have no information about their psychologists on the website so you can't pick one dedicated to your needs or check credentials. One of the Psychologists Dr Joseph D'Silva also practises at the same location under the name 'Uplift Psychology' Be weary!

Faith Hope

It has taken me a long time to write this review mainly because I haven’t been able to function. My nights have turned into ‘day’ and my days are ‘night’. OCD is a debilitating condition as I have come to learn as of the last 3.5 years. I noticed symptoms in late 2016 and was advised by my GP to see Dr. Crino of SOCAD Practice. I battle contamination OCD – excessive cleaning, fear of bodily waste, toilets, bins, dog poo, soiled nappies etc. Given I had never had any mental health issues before I did not know what to expect of a psychologist. There was no psychoeducation on OCD from Dr. Crino. I struggled then and still do with what I now know as intrusive thoughts but we didn’t discuss any of that. There wasn’t any itemizing or listing my fears in order of hierarchy. We did not grade tasks for Exposure Therapy. If I said I was struggling with a task I was told to do the opposite of the urge which I knew I should do but couldn’t do the needful. I wasn’t aware of the models of treatment and so even if the tasks were extremely difficult I thought I had to tackle them. I later realized it was because I was exposing myself to tasks that were on the high end of the hierarchy scale I kept failing at therapy. Early on in treatment I was asked to bring in an item of footwear that was ‘contaminated’. This was so high on the hierarchy list that I could not bring myself to get to the appointment and missed 2 appointments out of anxiety and at the third attempt though late I went in to explain my problem and I was threatened that if I missed another appointment I would not be seen again. I wore those shoes briefly in therapy but never once after. There were other instances that were similar in that the Exposure tasks were too high on the distress scale and hence I ritualized after the appointment which defeated the whole purpose. Dr. Crino informed me of a treatment method in the U.S. wherein a patient was made to walk around with soiled toilet paper in their pocket to ‘habituate’ them. I was threatened that this would be my fate. Needless to say I was terribly distressed on hearing this. Given all the above it’s obvious that I wasn’t improving much. I was told by Dr. Crino a few times that I would be battling OCD well into the future even after he passed away. This left me despondent. I stopped seeing him after 10 months of attempting to recover. I wasn’t impressed with the clinic either. It looked like a converted balcony with hardly any room to move. Also on 2 ocassions my file was misplaced. It was only when I started seeing another psychologist a month later that I learnt about hierarchies. She asked me to list my fears and scale them from 10 to 100. When I asked her to explain this she was surprised I hadn’t been through it before and requested my permission to speak to Dr. Crino about this. I don’t know if she did as I moved residence and didn’t see her again. 8 months later as my condition worsened I had 2 clinical admissions back to back. In total a 13 week period of in-patient treatment. It was ONLY in The Melbourne Clinic in their OCD program that I actually learned about OCD and why I felt the way I did and how to work through and manage the condition and associated anxiety. When I rang Dr. Crino from Melbourne to enquire why he hadn’t recommended The Melbourne Clinic when I was seeing him if he thought I wasn’t improving his first word to me on hearing that I was an in-patient was ‘Congratulations’. It’s been a long slow road to recovery... my journey continues. I wish I was informed about other clinical help right at the start. It might have saved me a lot of time and I might have kept my job. There isn’t much help out there for this disorder unfortunately. Information is limited. It took a lot of research, reading, talking to other professionals and patients to get the kind of help I need. If I could write a review without assigning a ‘star’ that would be my choice however Google does not offer that option. I wish you all the best in your journey to recovery. Keep the Faith!
