Mood Disorders
Clinical Psychologists have advanced training and experience in diagnosing and treating a range of mood and behavioural disorders. These disorders include depression, anxiety, panic, trauma and obsessive-compulsive behaviours.
Student Support
Procrastination, burn out, loss of motivation, fear of public speaking are problems that prevent students from achieving their best educational outcomes. These problems can be corrected through learning new coping strategies.
Weight Management
Negative patterns of thinking often result in failed attempts at successful weight management. Learn how to set realistic goals, eliminate dichotomous or black and white thinking, and use positive motivation to achieve your weight goals.
Chronic Disease Management
Chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease need to be managed and can present with comorbidities such as depression and anxiety. Counselling can help improve quality of life through identifying and replacing negative patterns of thinking with life affirming positive coping strategies.
Relationship Counselling
Relationship counselling can either be done singularly or as a couple. Learn how to take responsibility for your own happiness through behaving affirmatively, communicating clearly and working collaboratively with your partner to resolve problems.
