My name is Vicky Booth and I am a fully qualified psychologist. My education includes a Bachelor of Behavioural Science from Latrobe University, fourth year in Child and Education from Monash University and a Master of Counselling Psychology from La Trobe University. I am a full member of the Australian Psychological Society and a Registered Psychologist in the State of Victoria.

I have over 18 years experience in the provision of individual and family therapy and have been a consultant to the Department of Family and Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (Facsia) and the Attorney General’s Department on issues such as carer issues, parenting, separation, domestic violence and its impact on children. Other areas of specialty involve working as an Adolescent Specialist with the Department of Human Services as well as a Family Support and Behaviour Intervention Therapist with Facsia.

I also have vast experience in working with men and relationships and fathering; working within the mental health sector and the drug and alcohol sector.

I have experience in psychological counselling of individuals, couples and families with children, adolescents, adults and elderly. I specialize in issues such as anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, relationship issues, sexual dysfunction, anger management, men’s issues, parenting, carer issues, drug and alcohol dependence, family separation and divorce. I have also facilitated therapeutic groups covering issues such as anxiety, depression, shyness, domestic violence, building stronger relationships, and parenting after separation.

I am a registered Medicare, Workcover and TAC provider.

In order to access the Medicare system patients will need to consult with their local G.P. and if they are eligible the G.P. will give them a Mental Health Care Plan (Item number 2710). The fee above the Medicare rebate will be $50. However, this can be negotiated with me in cases of financial hardship.

Appointments can be made through me directly on 0425 700 406 during business hours. If calls go to voicemail, I will return them as soon as possible as I am consulting at that time.
