ADULT THERAPY Human beings can face many challenges throughout life including trauma, illness, relationship breakdowns, grief, work stress, fear, anxiety, parenting difficulties and many other stressors. At times, these life events can become so overwhelming that family and friends can no longer provide the support required. A psychologist is a health professional whom has AT LEAST 6 years of professional training. They are specifically trained to help people change, develop, cope, manage and transform through difficult life circumstances, events and situations. We can help you understand your personal behaviour and emotions and to develop strategies and skills to cope and manage with difficult life circumstances. At our clinic, all of our psychologists are highly experienced and registered with our peak body, AHPRA. They can help with a range of issues & concerns.

HYPNOTHERAPY Hypnotherapy is used to alter the way an individual thinks, feels, responds and acts in their life. We have automatic, unconscious learned patterns that have been learned since conception (yes! even in the womb we absorbed experiences) and sometimes it is not always easy to understand where these came from o why can't they be changed. Hypnotherapy can assist people to become more aware of these unconscious patterns, change them and create new ones. Read more about how hypnotherapy can help here..... |

PARENTING Parenting can be a tough gig and there is no manual or one-size-fits-all approach. It can be helpful to talk through your concerns with a qualified psychologist to grasp a deeper understanding of the problem. A psychologist can help you to identify the problems, understand the factors that are contributing to it, guide you to develop better coping strategies and help you to improve your parenting.

TRAUMA Trauma therapy is a very important part of our practice as many presenting issues can have underlying trauma associated with it. There are many types of trauma and sometimes people are can remain unaware of how much an experience has effected them. If you are, or know someone who has been, exposed to a traumatic event, it is important for them to have the opportunity to process this with a psychologist trained in trauma therapy.

GRIEF & LOSS Grief is commonly referenced when we lose a person to death during our lives. Grief can also relate to losing parts of our self identity (loss of job, income, relationship) and loss of health (through accident, injury or disease), loss of autonomy and independence. Grief and loss of someone, or something, involves a period of adjustment, processing and learning to live in a different way. Grief therapy can help you to move through this adjustment, to understand grief and process the emotions related to the loss.
