Better Life Psychology

Better Life Psychology was founded by Santo Russo.

Santo has qualifications in both education and psychology. With over thirty years experience working with children and adults of all ages, in both the public and private sectors, Santo is well placed to offer supportive processes to help children, adolescents, and adults with personal, relationship, educational and family issues.

Santo has particular interests in child, adolescent and family issues as well as weight management in adults and children. Santo has worked with child care and early childhood, as well as primary, secondary and tertiary levels of the education sector. This broad range of experiences is an asset in understanding the predisposing and protective factors impacting on life challenges.

Santo also works with a number of surgeons providing support for their obese patients – an enlightening process when you consider the first behaviour we actively control in our world is eating.

Santo’s private practice operated in Ashgrove from 1999 until 2008 when he moved the practice to larger premises at Kelvin Grove. In the new Kelvin Grove premises every effort has been made to assist, including free information services for your to browse and take; a waiting area that is spacious and inviting and where you can enjoy the café provisions; and a bookshop with the best in support materials.
