I consider a counselling session as more likely a conversation in between two persons who can be equally respected, trusted, and affected. Relying on the strong rapport with my clients, we would be able to work together with their issues of areas (either to be corrected or to be developed) with a holistic health model (BMS) about body, mind, and spiritual. With my counselling, my clients can be led to have more awareness about themselves, more confident to face their challenges, and more skillful to reach to solutions. The style or core concept embedded into my sessions is that the attitude rather than the techniques would be much more focused on. Therefore, the basic goal of my counseling is to assist clients to be powered with a series of healthy concepts about their life as well as equipped with a bunch of their abilities for all the life challenges. I am a highly skilled psychologist with nearly 25 years of professional counselling experience, a Member with the Australian Psychological Society, the Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association, and registered with AHPRA.

The client is the best person to know their situation and the lives of the people around them. I bring a variety of approaches to my work depending on the needs of the individual.

"I take a person-centered and strength-based approach to therapy, aiming to work together with you to identify problematic issues and build on your personal strengths to make lasting change. I understand that your problems are unique and thus I try to ensure that my approach is specific to your needs. I value authenticity, compassion and a direct approach to help you empower yourself for change. My passion lies in helping and guiding my clients to heal from past emotional trauma. Throughout my years as a psychologist, I have come to realize that most mental health issues stem from past unresolved trauma and intra-psychic conflicts that the client might not be aware of. These sets of traumas often remain hidden as they have been repressed in the subconscious mind and body, yet they indirectly cause one to feel “stuck” in the present moment. I believe that all human beings have an innate power of strength within them, however this cannot always be realized due to ""old programs” that are concealing this potential. Overall, I strive to help clients build a higher level of self-awareness so they are able to finally free themselves and move forward in life. Although this level of change requires an immense amount of courage and trust, the rewards are often immeasurable and indescribable.

To be effective in improving mental health, we have to do better than treating people as clusters of symptoms. I like to work from the starting point that we are all whole human beings, with fears, insecurities and challenges that can leave us feeling lost, stressed, hurt and uncertain. We also all have things that matter deeply to us, that can guide the way we want to go about our lives. A quote that has always stayed with me and influences my work is to remember “we have to change the therapy to suit the client, and not change the client to suit the therapy”. With that in mind, I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you, to work alongside you to understand both what’s important to you and how to best navigate whatever you are facing. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, if you have any further questions. Barry completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Journalism, and a BA Honours in counselling psychology.

My approach is 'you-centred', so you will find I rarely have an agenda, and you will often guide the conversation. Unless some guidance is sought by you and we both deem it beneficial to your circumstances, we'll follow your lead. I am typically practical in my approach and can provide tools you can use right away after the session. Although no one will truly understand your experience, we can also develop your understanding and awareness of the different experiences you are having. My aim is to empower others to be the best version of themselves, not to be a preacher, not to pretend to understand exactly what someone is going through, but to support them based on what I've heard. I'd also like to learn as much as I can along the way.

Hi I really love helping people to view challenges in their life and work in a completely new or different way. To realise things they may not even be seeing or considered. I love learning so tend to work collaboratively and alongside people so that they learn the science behind what we are trying to achieve. I think adults respond better if you teach them why things work and not just by doing the work with them. I teach people 'psychological flexibility' using a whole bunch of different psychological and science based approaches to solving problems and transforming lives from what people don't want toward the ideal life they would prefer. These approaches include ACT, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness and even drawing from some other sciences like quantum physics to provide a unique experience and achieve results. My favourite saying is 'there's always going to be waves in life so I'll teach you how to surf'! I also work holistically across all their health and wellbeing. I am a registered Organisational Psychology Specialist. Bachelor of Social Science (Psych), Grad Diploma (Psych) and Master Organisational Psychology. I am an accredited Acceptance and Commitment Therapist, Cognitive Behaviour Therapist and Mindfulness Practitioner. I studied later in life. In fact when I was younger I failed year 12 English! So I have loads of life experience prior to eventually successfully studying at University as a mature age student and becoming a Psychologist. I've worked with countless numbers of people in leadership development, professional development and how to be successful in life, change who they are or how they are living, how to be happy in life, and how to do it all in a sustainable positive way. If you want to get better, build on who you are, get happier, or rid yourself of unwelcome mental health or ill health then I can help.

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively come up with goals and utilise the best evidence-based approaches to tackle whatever it is you may be facing. Australian Psychological Society Member College of Sport and Exercise Psychologists Member I’ve worked with adults, high school aged children, athletes and university students, who have come to me with various goals, including overcoming low confidence, performing well under pressure, stress and anger management, family and relationship issues, eating and body image difficulties, and depression, among other presentations. The evidence-based approaches I take in therapy include being client-centred, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and I am always looking to learn more and improve my practice.

I am an experienced, generalist psychologist specialising in counselling for people living in rural and remote areas. Whether you are concerned about the mental health of yourself or a loved one, are having difficulty negotiating a life or career transition, illness or disability, are struggling with relationship issues, or simply want someone independent to talk to, I am ready to listen. While I have a good understanding of all so-called “evidence-based” treatments, I am not a fan of the view that certain treatments must be used in certain situations or with certain clients. My philosophy is that if the time is taken to develop a good relationship with the client, then various possible treatment approaches – or some combination of these – are likely to be helpful; in the absence of a good working relationship, on the other hand, no treatment approach is likely to be helpful. Put simply, I will take the time to get to know you, get to the bottom of what is troubling you and why, and figure out the best way to make things better now and in the future.

I am psychodynamically oriented, which means I help clients to resolve their underlying issues, rather than only treating signs and symptoms. I believe most of our problems stem from our early childhood experiences, which have been reinforced a number of times over the years. While most people can control their maladaptive thoughts and behaviours to some extent, if the underlying issues are still present, they tend to resurface and cause more grief each time, thus making them feel a lot worse than previously. I am a full member of the Australian Society of Hypnosis and the International Transactional Analysis Association. I worked in a Community Mental Health Service for 11 years, and in private practice for 5 years, assessing and treating all types of mental health issues and mental disorders, which included monitoring psychotropic medication compliance and side effects. I am a fully qualified hypnotherapist, treating all types of anxiety disorders, sleep disturbances, drug addictions, self-esteem issues, chronic pain, and IBS. I have 20 years of experience as a music teacher and taught children from age four to adults, aged 64 years. I also treat children and adolescents for peer relationship issues, school refusal, bullying, and poor school performance. I have 12 years of experience as an Ambulance Officer and have treated Emergency Services personnel for workplace issues, PTSD, and Acute Stress Disorder after attending critical incidents.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience working with adolescents and adults. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where we can collaboratively explore the challenges you are currently facing; identify and work on the goals you want to achieve in therapy. I employ a holistic approach to therapy, highlighting the contribution of nature, nurture, and environment, in the development of adaptive thinking and behaviour to achieve meaningful and sustainable change. I have a warm, empathetic, and empowering approach to therapy, identifying and using your personal strengths to overcome your limitations. Bachelor of Psychology (Honors), First Class Registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) Fellow of the College of Clinical Psychologists (FCCLP) Member of the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT) I have worked with a diverse range of people with different ethnicity (in both personal and professional settings) helping them use their inner resources and strengths to overcome their limitations and challenges. My emphasis on personal strengths led to the self-publishing of my first book, “Developing the Greatness Within You” and the second book, “Good2Great Parenting.” I have facilitated several workshops and seminars and currently feature on 98.5 FM radio encouraging and coaching listeners on how to lead their best life.

I am a friendly and approachable person who enjoys listening and talking to others. People are unique in the way they think and act, and our ongoing experiences and memories are important and shape our world. I have a holistic approach in counselling and do not use set formulas in dealing with upset feelings or emotions, as there are many factors involved that could cause distress. Let’s talk and determine how I can assist you in living your best life. Louis completed a Bachelor of Economics, majoring in Organisational Psychology and Industry Economics.

I enjoy helping both adolescent and adult clients discover there is an alternative to the life of distress and discomfort quite often being experienced in the lead up to engaging with mental health support. I work with people who are experiencing low mood and/or low motivation, difficulties adjusting, stress, anger, confusion or worry, to empower them to discover their strengths whilst developing insight into their presentation.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you as a person, and working together to create the life that you hope for. I believe that creating sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically. I often baulk from traditional clinical styles of therapy, as I am committed to treating you as a real person and working together to help you live the life that you are hoping for. The best type of psychologist is one who works themselves out of a job, and that is exactly what I intend to do with you. I really admire people who take a proactive approach to their mental health. Every day I am grateful for the opportunity and privilege to get to know my clients, working together with them to achieve the best out of life.

I believe psychology should be tailored to the individual, finding what style of therapy would best suit their needs and personality and adjusting my approach accordingly. Psychology can not only help people with their immediate need, but I strongly believe that it can create long term benefit by helping people understand how they can help themselves in the future. This is best achieved by getting to know the client as an individual, coming to a mutual understanding of their mental health issue and finding the most effective ways through the development of psychological skills to help them address it. I look forward to getting to know you and providing the best help I can. Matthew completed a Master in Applied Psychology.

My aim in therapy is to use my expertise and knowledge to help guide in you improving your mental health, through understanding what’s important for you and within the context of your own experiences and knowledge.

Hi I’m Rhys and I’m a Registered Psychologist! I'm looking forward to building a supportive and trusting relationship with you that takes into account your individuality and meets your goals for therapy.

I have completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and completed a 2-year internship working as a Drug and Alcohol counsellor to obtain my registration as a Registered Psychologist with AHPRA. I have 8 years’ experience in counselling and psychotherapy. I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society. I use various approaches in therapy including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and DBT Skills Therapy.

I have experience in working with disadvantaged communities and approach my work by respecting and honouring the individual I’m working with. I have worked extensively with adolescents, adults, and older adults. I will always advocate for my clients in communicating with other service providers.

I have been practicing as a psychologist for over a decade now. In these years, I worked with numerous people to overcome their inner struggles. As part of evidence based therapy, I often work with clients to find a different perspective of their lives and situations. Overall, I try to make clients feel understood, and heard during the session. PhD in Psychology, Macquarie University My main goal as a psychologist is to help people to re-discover their inner strengths. People are often very aware of their strengths and difficulties, but when things go south, they may need a little nudge from someone who is not their family or friends. I try to nudge and change in people’s perspective by pointing out other side of the story. To do so, I try to gain wholistic perspective of people’s life situation. Thus, I try to engage in a dialogue with people I work with. A dialogue where we can explore difficult issues in a safe space.

I’m a very down-to-earth type of person who has had a range of experiences through my life which helps me to understand and engage with people. I believe in the importance of understanding how life works and that learning and growth are not simply things to aspire to but a vision we can embrace as part of everyday life.

My expertise and interests are broad, ranging across issues such as anxiety, phobias, depression, stress and work-related issues, grief, abuse and relationship challenges.

I am an experienced psychologist having worked with both children and adults over the course of my career. I have a relaxed, easy going nature and like to provide people with the skills to manage life's challenges. I will work together with you and explore what we can do to manage unsettling issues.

We all fall on hard times. Darkness and malevolence are part of the human condition, and tragedy often strikes when we least expect it. The counterbalance is a deep human connection – a helping hand or guiding light. The first step to getting that help is often the hardest, and finding the right person is important. I see the role of the psychologist as an advocate; a person who sees you, understands you, and provides unconditional support. I see you as the expert of your life and the author of your story. The therapeutic process that unfolds is one where I create a respectful, warm, and non-judgemental space for us to work together. Drawing on my training and experience, I’ll help you connect the dots between thoughts and actions, identify harmful patterns, and ultimately provide you with the tools needed to break through your barriers. Reaching out for help can be daunting but it is a necessary first step - one which you have already taken. It only gets easier from here. I look forward to working with you.

Solution-focused approach to providing holistic support. I believe that people are capable and resilient, and get the best outcomes by looking inwards and also at the systems they exist within such as the workplace, checking alignment based on personal values, preferences and individual attributes. I focus on goal-directed behavior, and coping with challenges such as financial stress or anxiety, high-performing anxiety and workplace stress and burnout. I believe this area can be of tremendous risk or protection to ones well-being, and that one can positively leverage it to improve the quality of their life. Completed a Masters of Organisational Psychology at Deakin University, Honours in Psychology at the Cairnmillar Institute and a Bachelor of Psychological Science at Monash University. Registered Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

I believe the most valuable facet of therapy is connecting on a human to human level, because everyone deserves to have their voice heard. I always make sure to put your needs first to make sure we’re working towards the same goals, so I’d like to think my client-centred approach varies depending on the support you’re after. I think it’s important to acknowledge that seeking support requires a high level of vulnerability and that an unfortunately necessary part of the process often involves me asking you a lot of deeply personal questions, so I check in every session to make sure that you’re comfortable with the path we’re taking. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than helping to equip you with the skills and insights to create lasting change. Though I cherish the therapeutic relationships I build, I would also prefer that you never have to see me again!

My sessions are conducted in a rather natural, and relatively casual manner where I steer away from major formalities and rigidity.

A wise person once said “life was not meant to be easy”…but I’m not so sure it was meant to be hard either. We all go through tough times, and tough times can be made a little easier by having someone on your side. I have a very strong belief that a human connection can help to ease life’s burdens. My passion is to support people identify and achieve their personal goals, live in a way that is true to their values, and be connected to those who are important to them. I believe it is a privilege to be part of a person’s journey and support network, and I always work to providing the tools to live a life that is satisfactory to you. I draw from my experience in various methods of evidence-based psychological support to provide highly individualised treatment plans that seek to achieve my clients’ self-identified goals. I seek to have my clients collaborate and become a fundamental part of their own journey toward wellbeing. I believe we all have the capacity to determine how we think and feel about events that may happen and I am very appreciative when people proactively engage in therapy and develop skills they can take beyond the “therapy room”.

I love to meet new people and learn from their life experiences. My clients have taught me much about human spirit and resilience. I believe change always begins within an individual. When the client and the psychologist work collaboratively, it can bring about a beautiful transformation.

These are the changes I help my clients make so that they can live a healthier and more joyous life. I use both traditional and unconventional therapeutic approaches.

Currently I am providing Telehealth sessions from home which I am finding very rewarding, and find that the method suits many people who may also be working from home or simply being cautious and minimising their movements to unnecessary or new locations. For three years from its inception I was Clinic Psychologist and Manager of the Macquarie University Child Anxiety Clinic under the directorship of Professor Ron Rapee, and taught as Associate Lecturer in Psychology.

I currently provide (mostly telephone) EAP services to Centennial Coal P/L Western branches, in a private capacity, since 2006. My approach with clients is overall a pragmatic and collaborative one, to suit individual and personal needs. I work with people’s strengths, on their wavelength, affirmatively with firm boundaries and challenges where appropriate, constructive, and tolerable by the client.

Mindfulness techniques and attention to lifestyle practices (diet, exercise and so on) are included by way of psycho-education within a therapeutic framework.

This will help me to understand what is troubling you, and more importantly, how we can work towards an effective solution.

Sometimes we just need a listening ear and unconditional regard, especially from somebody who is not connected to our daily life, friends or family. I'm a strong believer that, with care and support, people can usually work out the right solutions for their life and how best to get their needs met. It's a real privilege to be able to walk beside someone on their journey through life and towards self-discovery. I also believe that it is important to acknowledge the impact of difficult life experiences before we can move through them and on to a full and satisfying life.

I feel privileged to have the opportunity to assist people emotionally; to me it is the most meaningful work I can do. I know how difficult it can be to speak to a psychotherapist about deeply personal issues, so it is incredibly important for me to be as sensitive and empathic as I would like a psychotherapist to be with me. It helps us to feel better if we speak to a professional and not keep our emotions and feelings locked up inside ourselves. Talking to a psychotherapist can help us to accept our feelings, accept and understand ourselves better and can reduce incredibly painful states of mind as well as bodily pain and discomfort from the stress we may be experiencing. Sometimes we just want to be "fixed" immediately, and I do suggest "tools" that can assist in improving what is happening for you, right now.

Psychology, mental health, child development and healthy ageing are all very complex topics that require different levels of understanding. Education within a particular area can help in terms of understanding what processes are considered appropriate and what are not. For example, what is normal child behaviour/development what is abnormal. What are normal thought processes. And, what is considered healthy cognitive ageing. Psycho-education can importantly be the first step in alleviating stress and worry. My extensive knowledge within the field is the first thing that I bring to my clinical practice. I aim to deliver my message in a way that is easy to understand for everyone.
