Psychology and Psychotherapy
Each person's journey is distinct, shaped by unique experiences and challenges.
Recognising this, our psychology and psychotherapy services are meticulously tailored to fit your unique life experiences. We explore the depths of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, using evidence-based strategies to promote healing and growth.
Our Goal
Our aim to provide you with the insights and tools you need to navigate life’s complexities, resulting in a therapeutic process as unique as you are. To support your access to our services, Medicare and private health fund rebates are available, ensuring that the path towards wellbeing is both accessible and affordable.
Individual psychology and psychotherapy
Your attitudes, beliefs, experiences and circumstances are unique. We tailor psychology and psychotherapy to create a therapeutic experience that is right for you. We work with you to identify critical issues, focus on the outcome you want, plan ways to address these issues and select the right tools for you to manage any similar cases in the future. We aim to empower you to make decisions and create long-lasting positive change so that you can experience joy and contentment both now and in the future.
We can help you with individual and group therapy across a range of issues:
- Depression
- Anxiety and excessive worry
- Relationship difficulties
- Grief and loss
- Trauma
- Men’s issues
- LGBTIQ+ issues
- Substance use
- Self-esteem
- Life dissatisfaction
Anxiety & Depression
Intense feelings of helplessness or anxiousness can cloud judgement and leave us struggling with day to day tasks. Many people suffer from depression and anxiety; however, fear or shame can get in the way of seeking help. It takes courage to seek therapy, yet doing so can be immensely rewarding. Psychology and psychotherapy for anxiety and depression can help you once again find balance and regain control of your life.
Childhood
As children, we need to be fed, loved, kept safe and protected. If we grow up without a secure attachment relationship, we can struggle with feelings of low self-worth and have difficulty relating to others as adults. Childhood trauma has been strongly linked to depression, anxiety, substance use, and other adulthood issues that undermine our personal growth. While it can be painful to delve into the past, facing and acknowledging our childhood begins the healing necessary for greater peace of mind and an increased sense of well-being.
Relationships
Our lives revolve around our relationships with others, whether with a partner or spouse, family member, friend, or work colleague. We all experience relationship difficulties at some point. While this is common, there are also times when we may need some professional guidance, psychology and psychotherapy to navigate relationship issues, such as ending a toxic relationship or setting healthy boundaries.
LGBTIQ+
Despite the advances in legislation and some positive wins in the past decade, the LGBTIQ+ community still faces unique challenges and ongoing discrimination. We offer psychology and psychotherapy across all issues through an LGBTIQ+ lens, whether it relates to sexuality and identity or for a different matter altogether. We explore whatever problem you are facing in a safe, non-judgemental and sensitive manner.
Trauma
Trauma occurs when we experience or see something very distressing which leaves us feeling vulnerable and powerless. This can in turn lead to continued feelings of helplessness and fear even long after the event has passed. Through gentle guidance, we explore unresolved emotions to gain clarity and acceptance.
Trauma can occur as a result of, but not limited to:
- Psychological, sexual and physical abuse and/or violence
- Abuse or maltreatment in childhood
- Loss of income, livelihood or home
- War and other life threatening situations
- Natural disasters
