Clinical + counselling psychology

These individual or couple sessions are designed for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of people with mental health issues (e.g., depression, anxiety, excessive stress or worry) as a result of a mental illness or due to life events (e.g., bereavement, relationship breakdown, job loss, accident, injury, trauma, relocation or retirement).

Coaching + performance psychology

These individual or small group sessions are designed for people wanting to enhance their wellbeing or performance. The focus is usually on key life domains (e.g., career, parenting, career, study, health, sport and leisure). Issues addressed include identifying your values, strengths, passion, meaning in life, motivation, confidence, goal setting and self-management.
