Central Coast Psychologists with an Evidence-Based Perspective

 

I started Psychology Perspective in 2011 with the goal of providing a warm, calm, comfortable space for all who visit and work there. My focus was on facilitating optimal client care. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to have several highly experienced therapists join me with that shared goal.

Our name is based on the idea that being happy isn’t always straight forward; happiness sometimes requires a different perspective. We’ll help you identify what matters most to you and help you navigate how best to live the life you want.

Our Therapy Model

At Psychology Perspective, we believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the mental wellbeing issues of our patients. With an individualised care plan prepared by a referring General Practitioner, patients should ideally receive the right blend of support they need from a Psychologist, a Medical Psychiatrist, a Client Expert or a combination of all professions.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?

In your first session you will be asked several questions so that the psychologist can to get to know you and understand your story. What you share is up to you. You may also be asked to fill out some questionnaires on arrival at your first session. These help the therapist learn more about what you are struggling with, thus giving them the best possible chance of helping you on the road to recovery.

The psychologist will also explain how they work, and together you will establish some guidelines for the sessions (frequency of sessions, format of sessions and confidentiality issues). There will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions.
