Welcome to StreetWise Psychology, a leading establishment in Carlton, Australia. Located at 68 Pelham Street, we are a health-focused institution that serves as a point of interest for individuals seeking professional support and guidance.

At StreetWise Psychology, we believe that coaching, counseling, and psychotherapy should be tailored to each individual's unique needs. With over twenty years of experience in practice, our founder, Michael, has honed his skills in various approaches to better serve his clients.

Michael's journey into psychology began as a mature age student, completing his studies part-time at Swinburne and Victoria University in Melbourne during the '80s and '90s. His personal belief in the importance of personalized care has driven him to develop expertise in different therapeutic techniques.

Having grown up in a Victorian country town during the mid-twentieth century, Michael has experienced both the State and Catholic school systems. He also served as an officer in the Royal Australian Navy during the Vietnam era. This diverse background, coupled with his light-hearted and direct approach, allows him to effectively connect with individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

While Michael sees an equal number of men and women, he specializes in working with men, couples, and improving communication between individuals. As a divorced father with two grown-up children, he understands the unique challenges faced by individuals in various relationship dynamics.

Located in Carlton, Michael provides a range of services to clients from the northern suburbs of Melbourne. These services include psychotherapy, marriage and couples counseling, life coaching, general counseling, and more. We are here to support you on your journey towards personal growth and emotional well-being.

When it comes to finding the right psychologist or marriage counselor, it's essential to consider your individual needs and preferences. While recommendations from friends, family, and professionals can be helpful, the best way to determine if a psychologist is the right fit for you is by booking a session and meeting them in person. Pay attention to how comfortable you feel talking to them and whether you can establish a rapport. The therapeutic experience is a deeply personal one, and it's crucial to find a professional who aligns with your values and goals.

At StreetWise Psychology, we believe that true transformation often requires an external perspective. Friends and family, despite their best intentions, may not always be objective allies in the process of change. Our goal is to act as a reflector, facilitating open conversations that reveal hidden patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back.

We operate on the principle that your situation is unique, and our role is to uncover what sets you apart. By exploring and developing your strengths, we can work together to overcome the challenges that brought you to us. Through open and honest dialogue, we can shed light on years of ingrained habits and circumstances, enabling personal growth and transformation.

If you're curious about what to expect from working with us, here's a sneak peek into Michael's approach: "If you have difficulty making or sticking with a decision, it is probably because you know what you think about it but don't know how you feel about it. It might tick all the boxes, but will it be to my liking? Will I find it energizing or satisfying?" We understand that your unique circumstances have brought you here, and we are less interested in what is considered normal or what most people do. Our focus is on understanding what is different and unique about you, as that is the path to true insight and understanding.

Choose StreetWise Psychology for a unique approach to therapy that is tailored to your individual needs. Our aim is to guide you towards a better life, one that aligns with your true self and brings you fulfillment. Contact us today to begin your journey towards personal growth and emotional well-being.
