Creating Change Psychology & Counselling provides therapeutic interventions for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families using a skill based, supportive and non-judgmental approach. We will explore strategies to better manage symptoms and address barriers towards your progress.
We all share a passion for helping you or your family to build healthy and meaningful futures.
All therapeutic interventions are conducted in accordance with the Australian Psychological Society Code of Ethics and Charter for Clients.
Our therapists are specifically trained in a range of methods, with a therapeutic approach that will best suit you and your needs. Each of these approaches has been shown through research to combat symptoms of mental health, which is why we use these techniques in our therapy sessions.
We use a few main therapeutic approaches and techniques, tailoring them to your needs.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a short term (approximately 6-12 sessions), evidence-based approach focused on recognising unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns and providing patients with active coping skills to adapt these.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is an experiential style of therapy meaning we learn through the process of using the techniques. ACT aims to increase your flexibility to enable you to overcome challenges in your life. It suggests a rich and meaningful life can be achieved by living in the present, letting go of thoughts, accepting our emotions and acting in accordance with our values.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a method of attention control, which has been proven to maintain the benefits of treatment of depression amongst other things. It aims to create an observing experience of the present moment viewing it from a non-judgemental perspective.
Neuropsychotherapy
Neuropsychotherapy aims to understand the brains biological functioning to direct therapeutic processes. Understanding that our brain can change as seen in scans and what enables this change directs our therapists both in their relationships with you and in treatment.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy is an approach aimed at identifying and adjusting lifelong patterns of thinking and behaviour that are creating excessive distress. This style of therapy is longer term due to the complexity and ingrained nature of these patterns.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from distressing life experiences and traumas. A new beginning in managing your distress.
DBT is a skill based treatment, which aims to assist people to tolerate distress, regulate their own emotional experiences and improve relationship skills. Often people experience difficulties in these areas if they have missed learning the skills in childhood. This treatment can be particularly helpful for individuals who self-harm, have chaotic relationships or self sabotage.
