About BrainLab Psychology Group

Our practice works with clients presenting with a broad range of psychological, behavioural, developmental, and functional concerns. We place particular emphasis on thoughtful assessment, evidence-informed treatment, explicit clinical communication, and coordinated multidisciplinary care.

Occupational therapy has an important role within our model of care.

Our goal is to provide clients with access to clinicians who can help bridge that gap through individualized, functional, and evidence-informed intervention.

Only applicants with relevant occupational therapy experience will be considered.
