Care is taken to accurately identify your needs and develop focused psychological strategies to relieve your symptoms or …distress and to achieve your life goals.

We only use strategies that have proven results and provide long-term benefits to promote self-management in the future. These include: Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT); Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT); Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Maudsley Family-Based Model for Eating Disorders; Relationship Counseling; and Pre-Marital and Marriage Counseling.

The initial consultation is usually spent gathering information about the various symptoms or problems you are experiencing. Your needs and goals are identified early in treatment, and together with the psychologist and treatment plan is developed. Sessions involve learning about symptoms or problem areas, and developing strategies to help with symptoms. Your progress will be monitored and discussed with you to constantly keep treatment relevant and effective. Once your symptoms have improved and you have learnt strategies to manage your symptoms, a relapse prevention plan will be developed to prevent future problems with your mental health.

All psychologists are: registered with Medicare for rebates with Mental Health Plans; fully qualified and registered; trained and experienced in a range of areas; up to date with latest developments in mental health and treatments.
