A psychologist is a professional trained in the science of how people think, feel, behave and learn. Psychologists working with clients in a therapeutic context undergo further professional development to continue to support their clients in the best possible manner and in the clinical setting, psychologists are experts in matters pertaining to mental health. Psychologists in Australia are required to be registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) and listed with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). The main difference between a Clinical Psychologist and a Generally Registered Psychologist relates mostly to their pathway to registration which has evolved over time.

Coming to counselling can feel daunting for any number of reasons and especially so if you have never been to counselling before. It can feel uncomfortable to talk to a complete stranger about your inner most thoughts and feelings. It might even feel exposing or embarassing, however, it is important for you to know that your psychologist is there to support you and you are in complete control over what you share and when you share information.

A typical session lasts for 50 minutes. Your initial appointment usually involves your psychologist asking you a lot of questions to get a good idea of what is happening for you. You are also free to ask lots of questions! The following sessions are usually when the intervention begins and you can begin to work on the things that are important to you.

Typically people book in for an initial 6 sessions in order to secure regular appointment slots and to ensure that we have adequate opportunity to make progress in the identified areas.
