It is important to find a psychologist Brisbane that is the right fit for you, and that you feel comfortable. Although it is normal for many people to feel quite nervous prior to their initial consultation, with the right therapeutic match you will quickly feel at ease.

While the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of treatment, our Psychologists use a variety of evidence based treatment approaches that have been shown to be effective based on clinical studies and peer-reviewed literature.

Psychological Therapy Approaches

Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to help individuals live and behave in ways consistent with personal values while developing psychological flexibility. This approach helps individuals recognise ways in which their attempts to suppress, manage, and control emotional experiences create challenges. By recognising and addressing these challenges, individuals can become better able to make room for value-based actions that support well-being.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues including anxiety and depression. CBT aims to help a person identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies.

Often this involves integrating mindfulness components (known as Mindfulness based CBT) based on the current research findings which highlight the value of learning to change the way you relate to thoughts, feelings and sensations.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

This therapy aims to change the associations we have with traumatic memories, so instead of hindering and impairing us, they can be resolved and learned from. EMDR aims to reduce psychological distress around traumatic memories and make room for cognitive insights into our past and focus on the future.

This therapy is known for its effective treatment of PTSD and is highly useful for anyone who has experienced any kind of trauma, and other psychological disorders that have their roots in distressing memories.

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy is particularly helpful for clients who have had life long struggles with a particular issue such as depression or patterns of relating to situations or people in ways that are not working well for you and interfering with living your happiest life. Schema therapy identifies and seeks to modify core patterns or behaviours that we tend to repeatedly use throughout our lives.

Brain Based Therapy or Neuropsychotherapy

Brain Based Therapy approaches integrate exciting neuroscience research into understanding how our brain responds to and processes information and experiences. Rather than being fixed, our brain is constantly reshaping and changing over time (known as neuroplasticity).

This approach educates you about how your brain functions, and practical things that you can do to help overcome challenges such as anxiety and panic concern combined with counselling support

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy was founded by Marsha Linehan (who suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder herself), and is used to predominantly treat Borderline Personality Disorder. This therapy is highly useful for other psychological disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders to name a few.


At DBT’s core is focus on skills training in four main areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy is suited to clients wishing to understand, explore their situation in depth, involving longer term therapy and a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship. It is less structured than some of the other approaches, with a strong focus on insight and personal growth.

Gottman Relationship Therapy

Gottman Relationship Therapy is particularly helpful for couples who are struggling with their relationship. It is also a great approach for pre marriage counselling.

Gottman relationship therapy involves your psychologist meeting with you and your partner individually and then both of you completing an extensive online questionnaire about your relationship. Read more about Gottman Relationship Therapy

Hypnosis

Clinical hypnosis is an approach which involves becoming focused and absorbed in a calm state in which the mind is able to absorb and process information differently. You might feel very relaxed and heavy but are still very much in control. Most people find hypnosis to be a very pleasant experience and therapeutically it can be useful to help improve anxiety, depression, stress or to change unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Clinical Psychologist Claire Pang practices hypnosis.
