Education & Resources for
Health Practitioners

About this resource hub

Working alongside GPs, Psychiatrists, Paediatricans and other health professionals, we’re focused on designing a safe, supportive, collaborative and tailor-made experience for clients that will help guide them towards enriched mental health and overall well-being.

This section of our website is a resource hub we are developing to support health practitioners we work with.
It’s the one-stop-shop for you to find out everything you need in order to refer - and feel comfortable referring - clients to us.

Let us know if there is anything else you would like us to add here that will assist you in referring your clients who require psychological treatment.

Our psychological services are designed to help your clients understand the root of their challenges - so they can move towards a life that feels more in control.

Our Referral Process

We want you to feel comfortable that when you refer clients to us, they are in safe hands.

The diagram below outlines how our referral process works for the majority of therapy clients.

Please refer to pages on ADHD Assessments, Autism Asssessments and Psychoeducational Assessments for more information on the specifics of each assessment process.

Flowchart detailing the process for a mental health care plan, starting from client presentation to referrer, creation of mental health care plan, and engagement with ApPsych for psychological intervention and assessment sessions, ending with a progress report and client discharge.

We aim to keep you informed of treatment plans and progress as much as possible, however, if there is a client you are particularly concerned about, you are welcome to contact us at any time during their treatment.

Assessment & therapy services information for clients you refer

We’ve created two tear-off flyer pads with information on our assessment and therapy services, making it easier for you to support your clients when referring to Aperture Psychology.

  1. Therapy Information Pad – a simple guide for clients outlining what to expect when starting therapy.

2. Cognitive Assessment Information Pad – an overview of the assessment process, helping clients understand the steps involved and how results can support their care.

Simply tear off, print, or download and email, a sheet to provide patients with clear, take-home information at the time of referral, helping them feel prepared and supported from the very beginning of their journey with us.

Our team

We have a friendly team of clinicial psychologists ready to treat the clients you refer to us, often with wait times of only a couple of days.

Our clinical psychologists have undergone extensive training in the implementation of evidence-based approaches either through a Masters, Doctorate, or combined PhD/Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology.

This depth of knowledge allows our team to assist those experiencing a range of psychological conditions, including anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, perfectionism, phobias, sleep disturbance, and anger.

All clinicians at the practice receive quality mentoring and supervision personally from Peter Walker & Sophie Li, with Registrars receiving the highest level of attention and support.

Since our practice was founded in 2002, we have developed a reputation for empathy, understanding, and sensitivity. We offer our clients and clinicians flexibility through in-person and telehealth consultations Australia-wide.
