Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Our evidence-based cognitive behaviour therapy addresses mental health challenges across all age groups. This structured approach combines behavioural techniques with cognitive restructuring to modify unhelpful thought patterns. Our psychologists employ CBT for anxiety, depression, and stress management, incorporating mindfulness and skills training tailored to individual client needs.
Online Psychological Services
Remote psychological services available via secure online platforms. These sessions suit Medicare-eligible patients in remote areas or those preferring virtual consultations. Our telehealth services maintain clinical standards while offering flexibility for clients unable to attend in-person appointments at our Southport clinic.
Assessment Services
Comprehensive psychological assessments for memory, learning disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions. Our specialists conduct intellectual assessments, capacity evaluations, and diagnostic testing for ADHD and autism spectrum disorder using standardised tools like the ADOS-2 and T.O.V.A. assessments.
Family Court Reports
Court-commissioned family reports assessing parenting arrangements and child welfare. Conducted by experienced clinical psychologist John Brownhill, these assessments involve clinical interviews, parent-child observations, and psychometric testing to determine children's best interests for legal proceedings.

When you see a top dollar psychiatrist, you normally don't have to wait an hour. Being anxious about your paid 2hr parking limit expiring is not great for such a consultation. This practise has a slap dash feel about it. I cannot speak to all the clinicians who work here, the one I saw was very nice, yet oblivious to my condition and wholly ignorant of everything about it. I was not impressed. I was however treated very well and I felt a genuine caring concern, and motivation to learn... But like I said I did not expect this! Such and such a specialist is just a line, not an actual qualification

Have had nothing but positive experiences from the team at Impact Health, whether it is keeping me informed if any earlier spaces open or my sessions with their expert team. They have been an incredible resource to a healthier mind.

Website sends you to spam asking for you to allow corrupt website to redirect. My phone is now hacked. People in critical need for help are vulnerable! Where do i go from here?????????? I called the number on first interaction only to be asked to leave a message. Vulnerable people do not want to talk let alone have their phone hacked. Received 12 spam messages in 3 minutes!
