In person counselling, also known as face-to-face or in-clinic counselling is the most common form of counselling, and means you see a psychologist in their office or clinic. If you're close to a clinic location, you simply book in with your desired psychologist, and go to see that person in their clinic. In person counselling is effective, confidential and convenient, if you live nearby. Medicare and private health insurance rebates are currently available for in person counselling.
Skype counselling, also known as telehealth or online counselling, is effective, confidential and convenient if you live in a rural or remote area, or it doesn't suit you to visit a clinic in person. All you need is a computer, internet connection and a private room. Skype counselling means you're not limited by clinic location, and you can choose a psychologist from our website that suits you best. From November, if you live in a remote area, see your doctor about Medicare rebates.

Depression is more than just feeling down – it's a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health.
When you are depressed, you feel hopeless and dissatisfied. It can leave you feeling empty, listless, worn out by disappointment and a longing for joy and happiness that you don't seem to be able to make happen.
And ironically it can feel like nothing you do seems to help, or at least not for long.
Male depression is a very different cluster of behaviours. It is not very well known in the general community and is often missed. It has 4 patterns of behaviour: discontent with your elf, antagonism and blaming others, exaggerated behaviour, and avoidance and escape.
Post Natal depression is also a very common form of depression for women after giving birth, particularly after the first baby.
If you are suffering from Bipolar Disorder, you may find yourself moving quickly from feeling very high into depression.
When you are suffering from any kind of depression, it’s all too easy to give up doing anything that feels leisurely and fun, and that usually furthers your decline into lethargy and the black hole.
But the news is good. Depression has been shown by research to be very easily treatable with often as high as a 90% success rate with psychotherapy.

Anxiety can be just as debilitating in its own way. If you find that you’re feeling tense, edgy and restless a lot of the time, you may be suffering from Generalised Anxiety. With today's pace of life, anxiety is often a natural consequence of our built-up stress.
Or perhaps you are feeling panic attacks in your everyday life or in particular circumstances. These are very unpleasant and make you want to retreat from life. (Click here for more on Panic Attacks & Panic Disorders)
Or maybe you find yourself obsessing over little things and acting compulsively as a result. (click here for more on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
You may also feel that you are still affected by a painful or traumatic event that happened in the past, and find that you avoid this kind of situation.
No matter what form your anxiety takes, you can feel powerless to direct what is happening, which can make you even more anxious.
But the news is positive. We have an ever increasing research knowledge about the causes of anxiety and how we can successfully treat it with a minimum amount of therapeutic time.

In our ever-connected fast-paced world, stress is now the number one problem affecting most people in Australia.
When our expectations running high - from our workplace, our family, our fitness and health needs and all other areas of our lives - we can easily experience an excess of stressors.
When this happens we can feel under the pump, compelled to function at peak performance almost all the time in every arena. The result is less time for rest and relaxation.
This combination is a recipe for disaster in terms of our well being.
When you are highly stressed, it can seem that there is no way out of your over-stressed life. However, you will be surprised at how many ways we can help you reduce many of your stressors. We can also offer you ways to build extra resilience into your life with our knowledge of the emotional systems that create and reduce your stress.

In recent years there has been a huge amount of research in neuroscience with exciting new discoveries into what is happening in the brain when you are experiencing depression and anxiety and why you are suffering in these ways. This enables us to create wonderful new methodologies for helping you overcome these problems. The newer methodologies of Mindfulness and Compassionate Therapy are showing extremely positive results.
So you do not have to continue to suffer. We now have very powerful and proven methods for helping you overcome anxiety, stress and depression that don’t have you relying solely on medication.

Time and time again, research has shown that the therapist/client relationship, or therapeutic alliance, as we call it, is the most important factor in successful therapy.
So feeling that your Psychologist is a good “fit” for you, seeks to understand you, shows empathy for you and provides you with helpful insight into your particular problems is very important.
If for some reason we have booked you in with one of our Psychologists that you don’t have this level of comfort and fit with, please ring our office and we will endeavour to find a more suitable Psychologist for you.
This rarely happens at the Hart Centre, but we want to make sure that you are happy with the assistance you are receiving as this “fit” is more important for your progress than any particular therapy your Psychologist may be using.
Your first appointment can feel daunting if you haven’t been to see a Psychologist before. Please be assured that we will make you feel at home as we are here to genuinely help you. Our therapeutic alliance with you is very important to us.
We will use this initial session to gain a good understanding of your particular situation and symptoms, to assist in a diagnosis and a deeper insight into the way you are feeling.
Then we will give you a plan for your treatment and how you might progress over the following weeks. You will also leave with some beginning strategies to start your therapy straight away.
We look forward to helping you become happier, more centred in your own being, and more fulfilled in your life.
Please phone our friendly receptionists on 1300830552 to enquire or book.
Skype counselling is effective, confidential and convenient. No referrals are required for our Skype service – you can commence counselling immediately.
One of the major benefits of Skype counselling is that it’s a visual medium. Live video counselling enables you and your counsellor to speak with and see each other throughout your session, similar to in person counselling.
Fortunately, there have been advancements in the online and Skype counselling rebates available from Medicare, which you will be able to access through a Mental Health Care Plan from November 2017. Rebates available are between $84.80 and $125.50 for each session, for up to 10 sessions. Find out more about rebates here.
