Psychological Therapy

Psychological therapy can take different forms depending on the needs of the client and the training and experience of the therapist. Psychologists at Mind Body Well approach therapy in a manner which is person centred, creating a unique therapeutic approach in collaboration with each client. Our approaches are evidence based, client centred, and professionally informed. Our team of Psychologists are skilled and experienced in assisting people to address eating disorders, body image concerns, and a broad range of mental health issues.

Our Psychologists use various techniques and approaches in therapy, including:

• Interpersonal Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

• Systemic Family Therapy

• Existential Therapy

• Somatic Therapy

• Mindfulness Therapies

• Relaxation Therapy

• EMDR Therapy

Therapy StructureAssessment PhaseAll therapy at Mind Body Well begins with an initial Assessment Phase, which may take between 1-3 sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues to be addressed in therapy. At the end of this Assessment Phase, your therapist will negotiate with you a Treatment Plan, which will outline:

• the focus and goals of your therapy

• the treatment approaches to be used

• your treatment team – which along with seeing a psychologist may also include seeing one of the dietitians at Mind Body Well

Treatment PhaseEach ‘Phase’ of therapy will have clear treatment goals, and a timeframe after which the effectiveness of therapy will be measured by you and your therapist. Some clients will have multiple ‘phases’ of treatment, whereas others may have more short term treatment.
