About Ability Psychology Services

In 2019, Ability was founded and consisted of just one person - our founder, Jessie Baker. The subsequent onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presented an opportunity to lean into the community's needs when faced with unprecedented challenges that the pandemic represented. These early days of Ability only  demonstrated the importance of client-centred and flexible models of service delivery. Over the subsequent years, we saw the traditional model of psychology services evolve in many ways with an increase to telehealth services and the expansion of initiatives, such as increased access to the Medicare and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which has allowed for more flexible and accessible services within respective scopes. Collectively, this provided an opportunity to not only establish and grow Ability from an idea to a service - but to also rethink former models of offering support which highlighted the benefits of an outreach service model. Ultimately, this is what led our founder to establish Ability Psychology Services and to grow this into what it is today - a community-centred, mobile psychology practice that supports the local communities of the areas we work within.

Since our founding in 2019, Ability Psychology Services has been dedicated to providing evidence-based, accessible psychology services across Australia. Each member of our team brings their own training, experience and skills to our practise, and is committed to providing compassionate care to our clients. Our team works with individuals and families across the lifespan, and is able to provide support for a broad range of presentations and conditions. Our team provides psychological and educational services to individuals, third party providers, schools and organisations across Australia. We offer a range of in-clinic, outreach (in-home/on-site), and online services to meet our clients where they are at and to provide a sense of welcoming and professional support to our clients. Please contact us for more information. 

At Ability Psychology Services, we understand that life can be busy and unpredictable. We recognise that each individual's needs are different and there is no one-shoe-fits-all approach to improving mental health and wellbeing. For this reason, we offer both outreach services (in your home or community) as well as in-clinic or online support. 

At Ability, our priority is to work with you to establish therapeutic goals in a comfortable environment to help you reach your full potential. From personalised therapy through to a suite of formal services, Ability will work with you to tailor an intervention suitable for you, your family, or your organisation. Join us in your journey to improved mental health and wellbeing. 

We accept referrals from a broad range of referral pathways, including NDIS Participants (self or plan-managed), Medicare (gap-fee applies), WorkCover, Employment Service Providers, EAP, private / self-referred, and Private Health Insurance providers. 

We offer a broad range of psychological services including therapeutic intervention, assessment and testing, reporting, in addition to group and training / workshop service options. Our service delivery model accommodates both short and long-term intervention models depending on your referral pathway and therapeutic goals. With a variety of health professionals in our team, we endeavour to make connecting with our service as easy and comfortable as possible.
