Our Psychologists

Meet our psychologists

The Internet has made it easier and easier to find counselors or psychologists, but how do you find the one who is ‘right’ for you? There are so many different providers to choose from, and each is ready to convince you that their methods and techniques are the ‘gold standard’. Making your choice options confusing and difficult.

You may have already visited several other websites, and have been impressed by psychologists who detail their credentials and therapeutic approaches. During the past decade research has consistently demonstrated the success of ‘evidence -based therapies’ for the treatment of common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorders. The STAR*D trial for example showed that cognitive behaviour therapy and interpersonal therapy were as effective as antidepressants in treating major depression.

Our psychologist use evidence based therapies but not all therapists use these treatment approaches. When choosing a therapist you should ask do you use evidence-based treatments, which one and how often have you used it.

When looking for a psychologist its important to choose one that:

• You will trust and feel safe and comfortable with.
  
• Is ‘down to earth’, and easy to connect with emotionally.
  
• You can build a relationship with, someone who isn’t ‘arrogant’ and won’t baffle you with
  psychobabble and long words.
• and as ‘schmaltzy’ as it may sound, you want someone who is going truly care about you
