Real support for real families
Family First Psychology was founded on a simple idea: psychological care should be practical, evidence-based and built around real life. From our clinic in Murrumbeena and via telehealth, we bring therapy and psychological assessments together under one roof for children, adolescents and adults, working with you one-on-one and, where it helps, with your whole family.

Our approach
We look at the whole picture, not just the person in the chair
Every plan starts with the same question: what will actually work for you at home, at school or at work?
We draw on proven, evidence-based therapies and turn them into practical strategies you can start using straight away. Not just insight for its own sake.
CBT Cognitive behavioural therapy
Shift unhelpful thoughts and habits with practical, structured tools.
ACT Acceptance & commitment therapy
Make room for hard feelings and act on what matters most to you.
Mindfulness
Simple, evidence-based strategies for stress, worry and big feelings.
Attachment-informed therapy
Build stronger, safer relationships between children and the adults around them.
EMDR-informed practice
Support to process difficult experiences and trauma.
Behavioural parenting training
Skills and routines that make everyday family life easier.
Collaborative care
Everyone on the same page
With your consent, our team works alongside your GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist and, where relevant, your child's school.
That way, everyone supporting you or your child is working towards the same goals, and you're not left repeating your story or joining the dots yourself.
