Psychotherapy is a dynamic process that focuses on the mental, emotional, relational and spiritual health of a person and aims to help clients better understand the conscious and unconscious aspects of their present & past experiences.
Psychotherapy can be both short or long term based upon your circumstances and is not limited to a particular number of sessions.

FAQs
HOW DO I KNOW IF PSYCHOTHERAPY IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you are looking for a therapy that can explore deeper or more complex issues, or perhaps other theraputic interventions have not worked then psychotherapy may be appropriate for you.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FIRST FEW SESSIONS?
We will spend 1-3 sessions completing an in-depth assessment.
During this assessment we review your current concerns & past experiences including mental health and developmental history; early cognitive or emotional difficulties, conflicts or trauma experiences, family history & relationships with others. Your individual needs, therapeutic goals, time frame & commitment you wish to enter into will also be covered.
WHAT EVIDENCE BASED MODELS DO YOU USE?
In session, Brooke works with several evidence-based models that may include the use of ACT, CBT, Schema Therapy & Mindfulness Based Therapies, however primarily draws on the use of the Conversational Model of Therapy (CM). The Conversational Model is a contemporary form of relational psychotherapy that evolved from psychoanalytic psychotherapy. It integrates aspects of developmental psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory and linguistics but also incorporates concepts from other schools, including Self Psychology, Intersubjectivity Theory, Trauma Theory and Memory Systems Theory.
DO I NEED A MENTAL HEALTH PLAN FROM MY GP?
No.
Psychotherapy is not provided under Medicare Benefits.
This means you come through as a private client and do not need a mental health plan. You may be eligible for private health rebates. Please enquire about this directly.
