Psychological Therapies

Psychological interventions help people develop skills to manage symptoms that concern them and impact on their wellbeing. We work with you to develop strategies to address your concerns and to begin to make changes in your life.

Interventions can include:

• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Relaxation and skills training
• Interpersonal therapy
• Psycho-education

We encourage you to be fully involved in planning your treatment and support you to practice strategies between sessions.

There is the possibility of a further four sessions after a review with your GP.

This service does not provide medical or legal reports, e.g. for Centrelink, WorkCover, Return to Work SA, or the courts.
