Psychological Therapy & Counselling

Each psychologist is unique in the kinds of strengths, concerns, areas they have special interest in. Other than depression and anxiety (incl. panic attacks, phobias, general anxiety), here are some Helen's key interests:​​

  • Lifestage transition/adjustment difficulties

  • Performance/stress - academics (students, teachers, lecturers), health professionals (fellow psychologists, GPs, doctors, allied health), other professional settings (lawyers, corporate management), home settings (stay-at-home moms, career moms) etc.

  • Trauma (eg. single-event, multiple traumas, childhood abuse, accidents, natural disasters etc.)

  • Migration, cultural sensitivities, cultural psychology - new migrants and/or second-generation Australians etc.

  • Self-esteem/identity formation difficulties (young adults in particular)

  • LGBTQIA+ -related difficulties/challenges

  • Relationship/social difficulties

  • Parenting issues and/or family conflict

  • Chronic clinical disorders - psychosis, bipolar affective disorder, personality disorders etc.
