Maturity and Commitment

​

All our Psychologists are experienced and committed to establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship with each client. Across the team we have a diverse and large skill set available, allowing us to provide a comprehensive and responsive service. 

​

​

Availability of a Team

​

We can offer individual, couples and family therapy as required. Over the years, we have supported the needs of different members within a family, providing continuity of therapist and care. Our standards of best practice ensure that when beneficial, these different roles are carried out by separate clinicians who can share case consultation, if the client requires.

 

 If a Psychologist is on leave we can organise personalised ongoing interim care within the practice.

​

​

Quality Control and Extensive Skills Base 

​

All our psychologists continue to have ongoing professional development training and supervision within their area of specialisation, as well as the latest evidence based treatment approaches, across the most common presenting diagnoses and symptoms for clients seeking a Psychologist’s assistance.

​

As a team we have ongoing support meetings across the year to exchange information on the most recent research, treatment approaches and current opinion gathered by team members according to their ongoing external training in their areas of specialisation. 

​

​

Experience

​

The majority of our Psychologists have between 10 to 20 years experience and all the Psychologists at Essential Life have significant applied clinical experience in other clinical and counselling settings.

​

​

​Brief Focused Counselling And Long Term Therapy

​

We take you where you need to go, from short term brief resolution to longer term therapy as required, addressing varying levels of complexity with efficacy.

​

Some people's needs are met by brief focused therapy and some have more complex, long standing issues; we have extensive experience in helping in both of these areas.
