Psychology and counselling for adolescents and men
Our Practice
Men are at high risk of experiencing mental health challenges but often don't seek support. Our Adelaide clinic focuses on providing effective outpatient, individualised, psychological care for adolescent boys and men. We treat a range of mental health disorders and provide a neutral and comfortable environment for individuals, families, and couples.
Our Treatment
We help clients address their mental health challenges and recognise unhelpful patterns of behaviour. We achieve this by listening to your concerns, and customising a treatment plan for you.
Our Promise
We promise to be there for you every step of your journey. Our purpose is to support you through difficult times, help you to overcome challenges, and rebuild a meaningful life.

What's Up?
At MensPsych, we work with a broad range of psychological and behavioural difficulties. Some of the more common difficulties with help people with include:
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling and treatment, we are able to help you recover your motivation, change perspective, and reconnect with what matters to you.
Trauma & PTSD
Lots of people experience symptoms linked with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are some of the things that can linger after experiencing traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms using evidence-based treatment methods.
Addiction
Addictions are common in men. These are often long-standing problems that result from ongoing stress, trauma and other mental health issues. Addictive behaviours provide short-term relief but have long-term consequences. We can help you to break the cycle.
Anger
Do you have a quick temper? We all get angry at times but it can often result in us acting inappropriately towards others. Treatment for anger issues helps individuals identify their triggers and problematic behaviour, and develop more helpful responses to build a meaningful life.
