How can a psychologist help me?

Psychologists collaborate with clients to help them manage their thoughts, feelings and behaviours in various settings. Psychologists assess, diagnose and treat mental health concerns as well as aim to prevent the onset and relapse of mental health problems.

Working with a psychologist can assist in improving wellbeing, inter-personal & intrapersonal relationships. If nothing else, a psychologist can act as an empathetic ear for when you are experiencing distress and are in need of some support in navigating the challenges in your life.

I am worried about Confidentiality

Everything discussed in therapy stays between you and your therapist, unless you consent for this information to be disclosed to a third party. Psychologists are bound to a Code of Ethics (set by the Australian Psychological Society), which assures we maintain client confidentiality.

All information gathered in session is stored electronically in a secure, highly encrypted online database, which can only be access by your therapist. These notes can be provided to you at your request.
