WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY?
Psychology is the scientific study of the brain and human behaviour. The discipline aims to understand how and why we do things as individuals and as groups. Through scientific experimentation and research, information can be gathered over time to help piece together the puzzle that is the human being and its behaviours.
What is a Psychological treatment?
It is a common misconception that only people with a serious mental illness should consider seeing a Psychologist. This view of Psychological treatment is not only false, but it also stops many people who may benefit from seeing a Psychologist from actually consulting with one. A Psychologist is an Allied Health Professional who facilitates the change that any person may need to make in their life to lead a happier, healthier and more fulfilling existence.


A Psychologist will see and treat people with the following issues:
Family and/or relationship issues
Any range of stress, anxiety and/or depression disorders
Phobias including social phobia
Eating disorders as well as obesity and weight management
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Grief and loss
Personality disorders such as bi-polar, borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder to name a few
Children and adults with ADD or ADHD
Chronic pain and injury management
Palliative care and terminal illness
If you feel that things are not going right for you and you are not quite sure how to get things back on track. It is worth consulting with a Psychologist to see if they can help you better cope and manage the challenges that life throws at you.
