The ISTDP Clinic was started to provide therapy, workshops, training and research into Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. Our experience has demonstrated to us the importance of relationships in helping people to grow and develop, and this is incorporated into our approach. From our experience, clients who do well in therapy typically learn ways of improving their relationships with close others, even when this is not the primary reason for counselling. As such, we keep relationships in mind throughout the process of therapy, in order to help clients to grow and develop outside of therapy.
ISTDP draws from contemporary psychological theories, including theories of attachment, relationships, and the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology and the treatment is capable of being tailored to your individual needs.
Our Glen Iris location is designed to allow convenient access to psychology services for those living or working in surrounding areas, such as Boroondara (including Glen Iris, Malvern, Ashburton, Armadale and Toorak), Monash (including Ashwood, Burwood, Glen Waverley and Mt Waverley), Manningham (including suburbs such as Doncaster East, Donvale, Templestowe, Bulleen, and Warrandyte), Nillumbik (including Eltham), Banyule (including suburbs such as Heidelberg, Macleod, and Montmorency) Whitehorse (including suburbs such as Burwood, Blackburn, Box Hill, and Mitcham), Boroondara (including suburbs such as Balwyn, Surrey Hills, and Kew), and Maroondah (including suburbs such as Ringwood and Croydon).
However, many of our clients are willing to travel from other areas in Melbourne and interstate in order to access a service that result in lasting changes.
