Psychotherapy is a highly effective, short-term therapy in which the therapist makes considered decisions about how to help the client get to where they want to go. The job of a Strategic Psychotherapist is to teach clients new skills to arm them with the process they require to make the changes they desire in their lives. This form of therapy operates in a framework that centres on learning; helping clients identify their thought and behaviour patterns and skill gaps, as well as developing strategies that utilise existing strengths to overcome their challenges. It is future-focused, and goal oriented, with an emphasis on interrupting ineffective thought and behaviour patterns

Clinical hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis in a clinical setting to treat specific symptoms or health conditions. It is administered by a trained professional such as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist or Psychologist. In clinical hypnotherapy your therapists will help you achieve a trance-like state, where your therapist communicates with the subconscious part of your mind, making suggestions about alternative thought and behaviour patterns as agreed as part of your treatment plan. In this state of heightened awareness, you are more willing to take on suggestions and embed them, enabling you to change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns
what we can treat
stress, anxiety and depression
Everyone feels anxious or stressed from time to time. While stress and anxious feelings are a normal response to common situations like being under pressure, they usually don't last for very long; passing once the stressful situation is over or the 'stressor' is removed
Anxiety is a condition that is more than just feeling stressed. When anxious feelings don't go away when the 'stressor' is removed, when they occur for no reason, or when they make it hard to function in daily life this might be a sign that you are experiencing anxiety or mild depression. Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia, with approximately 25% of people experiencing it at some stage throughout their lives. The good news is, anxiety is something you can learn to control. It is NOT permanent. That is, with treatment, you can recover and prevent a recurrence
relationships
We each have a number of relationships in our lives; with partners, children, family members, work colleagues and friends. Sometimes, things don't turn out the way we expect or would like in those relationships. Perhaps you want to improve the quality of your relationship with a particular person, or maybe you would like to look at improving your relationship dynamics more generally? With support we can help you develop the skills to form and maintain string and stable relationships in every aspect of your life
grief and loss
Grief is experienced and expressed in different ways by different people. We provide professional grief support and counselling to individuals, groups and families that are grieving. Unresolved grief can lead to longer-term emotional difficulty and dysfunction. Our therapeutic services can help address grief at any stage of the grieving process, giving you hope and comfort about the future
trauma and post-traumatic issues
Trauma is the psychological, emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms our ability to cope. People who have experienced traumatic events or incidents often have difficulty moving past those incidents. It can result in feelings of helplessness, a diminished sense of self, and difficulties experiencing the full range of emotions and experiences. While traumatic situations that cause post-trauma symptoms vary quite dramatically from person to person, trauma does not discriminate and it is pervasive. Sometimes, flashbacks or nightmares are experienced, where elements of the original trauma a relived or remembered. Often, those dealing with previous trauma also experience physical symptoms such as nausea or headaches and trouble sleeping. Strategic psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy are successful in helping lift the impact of trauma
addictions
Addiction is complex and can affect many areas of a person's life. If you are looking for support to break a habit, quit a behaviour, or aid your recovery psychotherapy and hypnotherapy can help. We will work with you to utilise your strengths and build coping mechanisms to aid your ability to quit harmful behaviours and direct your efforts to more helpful choices
pain management and chronic illness
Chronic pain is a widespread issues that is more common that you imagine. It relates to pain that is persistent for 12 weeks or more and can range in intensity from mild aches and pains to debilitating disease. Many pain or chronic illness sufferers are reliant on regular medications to manage their symptoms. These options are not always effective, and for some people relying on long term pharmaceuticals can lead to a range of unwanted side effects. Psychotherapy and hypnotherapy are proven, effective, non-invasive treatments for targeting the perception of pain and building resilience to tackle it on a regular basis
phobias
Phobias are anxiety issues defined by a persistent and excessive and irrational fear of an object or situation (that in reality poses little or no threat of actual harm). Most of us have fears about particular situations or objects, which is perfectly normal. However, if a fear becomes out of proportion to the danger, or persists for longer than 6 months, or has a significant impact on the way you live your life, your fear is probably a phobia. The good news is, there are simple and effective therapeutic treatments for phobias. We welcome the opportunity to help you overcome your phobia and regain your freedom
identity
The formation of, and continued connection with identity is one of the most important issues individuals can face. This typically occurs at a time when we confront new challenges and tackle different situations. It can occur at any age, and is usually experienced at times of great change including forming or ending relationships, experiencing a traumatic event, changes in family or living circumstances, and changes in role or occupation. Therapy can be useful in addressing some underlying issues that contribute to identity and how you view yourself
insomnia
Insomnia or sleep disturbance are common conditions affecting people of various ages. They relate to persistent problems falling and staying asleep. Most of the time, this can be treated with improving sleep hygiene and before-bed habits. But sometimes, insomnia or sleep disturbance persists due to worry or anxiety. Our approach to treatment looks at practical sleep behaviours as well as identifying and treating any underlying causes related to through patterns, worry and stress
motivation and procrastination
Many people experience ebbs in motivation or even periods of procrastination, when we delay taking action on a task. When procrastination extends beyond one or two tasks to a situation where you are consistently avoiding completing tasks or responsibilities, this might hint at a more chronic procrastination issue. Do you have a habit of delaying tasks, or leaving things to the last minute and then not performing at your best, or being easily distracted from completing tasks? Perhaps while you are procrastinating on one task you are productive on a less important task. Or perhaps you avoid completing a task because it is stressful. Fortunately, whatever the reason for your procrastination there are strategies to help you address it and return to high levels of motivation
self esteem and confidence
Low self-esteem and poor confidence are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we all experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, purpose and joy that comes with healthy self-esteem and confidence
anger management
Getting frustrated and angry happens to everyone. They are emotions we all experience, which can't be avoided altogether. But, we can help you learn how to cope with feelings of frustration or anger, and express your emotions in a healthy way. Sometimes, the reason you are feeling angry will be obvious, and other times you might not be sure what is making you so mad. The important thing is, there is help to change thought patterns and behaviours so your anger is channeled in a more productive way
