How a psychologist can help
In simple terms, a psychologist can guide you toward behaviours and strategies that will help provide solutions to your problems. There are a myriad of ways we do this, and the approach is different for each person because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. You are unique, that’s why you need a unique approach.
Part of this process involves assessing you, diagnosing a mental health condition (if there is one) and providing psychological treatment by equipping you with tools, techniques and strategies.
Regardless of whether you perceive your problems to be big or small – it’s your right to lead a happy and fulfilled life. There’s no need to ‘settle’ on feeling a certain way.
Life can improve. And it does improve for many people who see a psychologist.

Frequently Asked Questions about psychological counselling
I don’t even know where to start. Is there any point seeing a psychologist?
Yes. Your feelings are understandable though.
Sometimes clients are reluctant to see a psychologist because they have been experiencing a whole range of issues over years, sometimes a lifetime. The problems seem overwhelming and insurmountable, and that feeling stops them from getting help. They feel even the psychologist won’t know where to start!
Rest assured, that’s not the case.
Our psychologists know exactly the questions to ask in order to help commence the conversation. We don’t have to start at the beginning, we just have to start. You can leave the process to your psychologist because we know what we’re doing and how to help you. We’ll travel the journey together.
How many sessions will I require?
That’s a good question. The answer is, it depends on the circumstances. Some clients see a psychologist for 1 – 6 sessions, and others choose to see a psychologist for more.
What’s your approach?
Each of our psychologists uses a range of therapy modalities based on their area of expertise and your needs. These therapies may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotions-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy and Child Centred Play Therapy (CCPT).
