The Lantern Psychology Centre opened in new, purpose-built premises at Thesiger Court in Deakin in December 2020 and will be opening new rooms in Geils Court Deakin in August 2023. We currently have availability for room rentals on all days of the week.
Conditions for employees or contractors are negotiable based on each individual’s needs and values.

Being a sole practitioner can be lonely and isolating. Our main goal in creating the Lantern Psychology Centre was to create a space in which psychologists can support each other and share ideas, resources and referrals.
The office has been designed to support the mental health of practitioners. Each therapy room is spacious, with modern furniture and natural light. The Centre has a common room for breaks and meals which also contains equipment (such as a photocopier and scanner) to increase the interaction of practitioners during the working day. There is also an outdoor sitting space to grab some fresh air.
Lantern Psychology Centre is focused on using technology to reduce time spent on administration and paper waste. The offices will have high-speed NBN network, paper-less fax and online practice management systems.
We also have a secure shared space to share referrals and a secure in-house messaging tool for easy and quick communication.
A security camera in the reception area doubles as an easy means to see when clients have arrived for appointments.
Although at the moment I will do not have a dedicated receptionist, I am happy to provide mentoring in online systems I use to reduce administration.
Our space focuses on attracting warm, supportive, professional, self-motivated psychologists, who are life-long learners, and have a sense of humour or at least can hold themselves lightly. I am keen to join with psychologists who will commit to regular peer supervision and share resources.
The specific therapeutic orientation of our psychologists is not important, although it is essential that psychologists are trained in evidence-based therapies and practice.
We are also open to welcoming newly registered psychologists and those moving towards clinical or counselling endorsements. Alison is a board-endorsed supervisor and also happy to discuss supervision arrangements.
If you are new to private practice and do not know where to start, Alison is also available for consultation sessions to provide guidance around setting up in private practice. This can include advice on practice management software (specifically Halaxy), how to set fees, manage waitlists, and build up a referral base.
Please email Alison for further information at alison@lanternpsychology.com.au.
