http://framewk.com.auOverview
Framework Psychology works with adults and older adolescents (15+) experiencing a variety of mental health issues or life challenges.
Our team apply a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), tailored to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances.
The benefits of psychotherapy can include the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, improved mental health, better coping skills, increased self-awareness, improved relationships, and enhanced quality of life.
We also provide assessment services that can evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning through methods including interviews, standardised tests, and observation. These assessments can help identify strengths and weaknesses, diagnose mental health disorders, and understand your unique personality and patterns of behaviour. Our services include comprehensive assessments for adult ADHD.
Based in Victoria, we offer both in-person appointments from our Kew East clinic, and telehealth appointments Australia-wide for:
* Private patients (self-referred/self-funded, including those with private health 'extras' cover)
* Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants, for capacity building therapy services
* GP- or specialist-referred patients, including those accessing funding or rebates

Andy Brennan(He/him)
Psychologist
I’m Andy Brennan, a registered psychologist based in Melbourne. I work with adolescents and adults from a wide range of backgrounds, including students, athletes, professionals, and those navigating everyday life challenges, to help them function effectively under pressure while maintaining their wellbeing over time.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside principles from sport and performance psychology.
I commonly support clients experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, motivation difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, interpersonal concerns, and periods of life transition or uncertainty. I have a particular interest in working with individuals in high-demand or high-expectation environments, where identity, performance, and self-worth can become closely intertwined.
In our work together, I aim to create a space that is both supportive and purposeful. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on building skills that translate into everyday life. My goal is to help clients better understand their patterns, respond more effectively to challenges, and move toward what matters to them in a sustainable way.
