About Access Psychology

Access Psychology was established by Paul Stevenson (OAM) on the Gold Coast in 1991, and has since operated continuously in all states and territories, as well as internationally. Our psychologists continuously aim to provide high quality psychology and psychometric assessment services to local community. Our team consists of three psychologists with eclectic backgrounds and experience.  Recently, Access Psychology became a teaching clinic for Psychology Masters Programs of two local universities, which increased our capacity and affordability for psychology services. Our clinic is located at Surfers Paradise, just five minute walk from the beach.
