Time For a Change?

Are you feeling stuck? Or do you feel that it is time to make positive change within your life? My approach is both warm and practical. After meeting we will discuss your goals and expectations, following this we will devise a plan and embark on it, measuring our progress as we go. I offer clients practical strategies and techniques for overcoming a range of concerns.

I specialise in helping with:
* Depression / Low Mood
* Excessive Worry
* Anxiety , Stress and Panic
* Sleep Problems
* Relationship Problems
* Changing Unhelpful Behaviours
* Weight or Body Concerns
* Grief and Loss
* Personal Development (including promoting Happiness, Meaning and Well-being)

I am a registered Australian Psychologist with over 7 years of experience working in various roles within Private Practice and Government Mental Health Services across Australia, New Zealand and the UK. I now specialise exclusively in Online Psychology Sessions. Meeting with a psychologist online is very similar to meeting face to face. The sessions are normally 50 minutes in length and we will agree on a number of sessions depending on your goals and situation.

How does it work?

Clients have the option of meeting with me via a Secure Video platform (”https://vsee.com/s/2e77b5b4″) , Secure Instant Messenger (”https://www.healthshare.com.au/connect/signup/?code=87700-referrer”) or Email ([email protected])

Consider Online Counselling if:
* you prefer the privacy of secure online services
* you require sessions at varying times or outside of business hours (ideal for FIFO, Shift Workers,Busy Professionals, or parents
* remote and rural residents
* if you have difficulty with transport
* or if your anxiety prevents you from leaving your home or seeing someone face to face

Are Online Sessions private and safe?

Your privacy is very important to me. I adhere to the Code of Ethics as outlined by the Australian Psychology Society. In addition to this I also use a HIPAA Compliant Video Web Cam platform to ensure that our online meetings are private and confidential. Likewise the Instant Messenger Service I use abides by the Australian Privacy Act 1988, any information you share with me on this platform is only available to you and I. If you have any concerns or doubts please ask me and I am happy to answer any questions.

Is it effective?

Online Services are now offered by a range of health professionals, including doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists. There is a now a strong body of research to support that online psychology can be as effective as traditional face to face sessions (Beatie, Shaw, Kaur & Kessler, 2009; Kessler et al 2009).

Research also indicates that when meeting online people are likely to feel less inhibited. This is particularly useful if you are experiencing a high level of anxiety that makes it hard for you to discuss these concerns face to face. Speaking to an Online Psychologist is appropriate for many common psychological concerns however it is not appropriate if you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or a severe psychiatric illness.

What approach do I use?

I specialise in the following:
* Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
* Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
* Mindfulness
* Compassion Focused CBT
* Positive Psychology

I work with a great diversity of clients, ranging in age, background and expectation. Some people know exactly what they would like from sessions, whereas as others are not sure what they are looking for. The best way of deciding if Online Psychology will work for you is to get in contact. Please call, email, or message me for further information.

For the month of February I am offering new enquiries a free 30 minute consultation, please use the code FF100 when booking or mention this listing when you contact me.
