We are active, goal-oriented psychologists providing mental health services both in person and through Telehealth. We are also committed to “giving back” and supporting the psychology profession more broadly through supervision of peers, registrars and students and clients through support groups.

Assessment is the cornerstone of all treatment provided, it is ongoing and used to inform treatment planning. The focus of therapy is on managing and coping with distressing mental and physical symptoms by assessing and changing perceptions and associations between physical sensations, thought, emotions and physiological responses that often lead to a restricted, hypervigiliant lifestyle, and work towards meaningful engagement with life.
A variety of therapies that are tailored to client's particular needs and preferences are used:
Education on the interaction between your psychological and physical health, most particularly in the areas of gut, pelvic health and chronic pain.
Clinical Hypnosis to help develop new outlooks, shift fused emotions and thoughts and reduce physical health symptoms
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to challenge old beliefs, reframe unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce trauma and anxiety symptoms
Stress management including breathing and relaxation techniques
Mindfulness and other Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies to move towards acceptance of unexpected changes in your life
Schema therapy to work on ingrained patterns of responses
We have a commitment to servicing RURAL and REMOTE areas through Telehealth:
Medicare provides for up to 10 individual psychology sessions remotely
Secondary consults (usually up to 3 sessions) for clients with gut, pelvic, or continence issues who already have their own general psychologist
Supervision for psychology treaters interested in this area
Psychologists with an interest in the clinical areas of gut, pelvic health, continence and chronic pain are welcome to get in touch for supervision or one off clinical consults
We have a strong commitment to supporting the development of registrars, students and early career psychologists
