Services
Individual Therapy
Therapy provides a safe space to explore lifes challenges and develop meaningful solutions. Our psychologists help clients gain insights, improve relationships, and enhance well-being through evidence-based techniques. Sessions address anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personal growth, tailored to individual needs. This service empowers clients to achieve emotional balance and resilience.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy helps partners reconnect and strengthen their relationship through structured interventions. Using the Gottman Method, we address communication issues, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy. Sessions focus on rebuilding trust, managing perpetual problems, and fostering mutual respect. This service supports heterosexual and same-sex couples at all relationship stages.
Neuropsychology Assessments
Neuropsychology assessments evaluate cognitive functions like memory, attention, and problem-solving to diagnose brain-related conditions. Our specialists use standardised tests to identify impairments from injuries, neurological disorders, or mental health conditions. Results inform treatment plans and support strategies tailored to individual cognitive profiles and life circumstances.
Disability Support Pension Assessments
These assessments determine eligibility for the Disability Support Pension through comprehensive clinical interviews and functional evaluations. Our psychologists document cognitive and emotional impairments impacting work capacity, adhering to Centrelink criteria. Reports include diagnostic conclusions and recommendations for support services, ensuring compliance with government standards.
Mindfulness Meditation Sessions
Led by Dr. Bruno Cayoun, these sessions teach mindfulness techniques to enhance presence and emotional balance. Practices include breath awareness, body scanning, and loving-kindness meditation. The free 45-minute weekly sessions promote stress reduction, compassion, and mental clarity in a supportive group environment for community members.
