A Safe Space for Growth and Recoverywith Psychologist Kate Mellody

We are a psychology practice in Melbourne that provides evidence-based treatment for mental health challenges, with a particular focus on eating disorders, disordered eating, and body-image concerns. We understand taking the first step can be challenging, and we are here to help.

TREATMENT

*APPROACH

At Caring Cove Psychology, we prioritise establishing a trusting and transparent therapeutic relationship, to allow clients to feel comfortable to discuss any challenges they may be experiencing. Early sessions with Kate focus on understanding clients’ individual circumstances and concerns, then working collaboratively to move towards their desired change. Kate adopts a person-centered, warm, non-judgemental approach to therapy, and supports clients to identify meaningful goals that can direct treatment.

*EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT

Kate draws upon a range of therapeutic frameworks, which she tailors to the specific clinical needs of the individual she is working with. Treatments include (but are not limited to) Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (CBT-AR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Based Treatment (FBT), and FBT+UP.

*PRESENTATIONS

At Caring Cove we provide evidence based treatment for the following conditions:

*NEURODIVERGENT AFFIRMING

At Caring Cove Psychology, we adopt a neuro-affirming approach to therapy. We do not view Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and other forms of neurodiversity as conditions that need to be "fixed", rather we understand that all brains have unique strengths, interests, and support needs.
