Welcome to Healthy Minds. We were established in 2006, providing a counselling service which offers experience in an extensive array of psychological problems for individuals (adults, adolescents and children), couples and families.
Everyday problems, like stress from work or study; feeling unmotivated; anxiety; relationship issues and coping with injuries or illness can significantly affect your life.
Addressing these common issues is essential to maintaining a fulfilling and enjoyable life.
Our qualified and experienced staff can help you develop the skills needed to manage life stressors and promote good health.
We use evidence based counselling methods which include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
We offer group training in anxiety and stress management, depression management and healthy lifestyle skills.
What is a psychologist?
Psychologists study the way people feel, think, act and interact. Through a range of strategies and therapies they aim to reduce distress and to enhance and promote emotional wellbeing. Psychologists are experts in human behaviour, and have studied the brain, memory, learning and human development. Psychologists can assist people who are having difficulty controlling their emotions, thinking and behaviour, including those with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, serious and enduring mental illness, addictive behaviours and childhood behaviour disorders.
What is a registered psychologist?
All psychologists are legally required to register with the Psychologist Registration Board in their State or Territory, in the same way medical practitioners must be registered. This means that they must be competent and follow a strict Code of Conduct. Not all counsellors or therapists are registered psychologists. Seeing someone who is registered ensures you receive high quality ethical treatment and a rebate from medicare with a mental health care plan. |
