Telehealth Appointments
Your need for help doesn’t conform to a schedule. Where you live shouldn’t limit your options for help. Telehealth is a way in which to overcome these barriers.
Many people may find it difficult to attend face to face psychological sessions. COVID has also increased the need for access to telehealth within vulnerable populations.
Telehealth refers to a videoconference consultation involving communication between you and your clinician using both a video and audio connection. This is similar to connecting with family, friends or business contacts using programs such as FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.
Telehealth enables you to receive assistance from a Psychologist from the comfort of your own home or office. This confidential service can provide you with the psychological help you need from the comfort of your own home or office.
What To Expect
1. Reaching Out for Help
Once you have decided to seek help and we have received your referral, either from your GP or other source my admin will contact you to make an intake appointment.
2. Getting to Know You
At the intake appointment your psychologist will ask you lots of questions to find out what is going on and to formulate a treatment plan.
3. Formulation and Treatment Planning
At the end of the session a treatment plan will be agreed upon. It is important to remember that you are the best person to know what feels right for you and if the treatment sounds like a good fit.

After the intake appointment the next appointment will start the therapy process. Sessions are typically 50 minute sessions. This will typically involve a check in to see any issues that have arisen since last session. Your psychologist will teach you skills and support you to achieve your mental health goals identified above.
5. Relapse Prevention
These sessions teach you how to maintain the positive changes you have made.
