Spencer Health is a psychology and allied health practice supporting children, adolescents, adults and families across Sydney and Melbourne. Our multidisciplinary team of psychologists, paediatricians and allied health professionals provides compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual.

We work with a broad range of presentations including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, OCD, depression, eating disorders, school refusal and more. We have a particular interest in neurodevelopmental differences and are proud to offer specialist support for neurodivergent girls and women — an area that remains significantly underserved.

All services are available in clinic across our Gladesville, Hornsby, Mosman and Newport locations in Sydney and Albert Park in Melbourne, as well as via secure telehealth — making quality psychological care accessible wherever you are.
