Everyone experiences challenges in life. Depression, anxiety, physical pain and psychological trauma are unfortunate parts of the human experience that any of us may face, often at the most inopportune of times. Sometimes our problems have been managed adequately in the past, but have become more difficult to cope with over time in the face of increasing life stress. In other situations, mental health problems arise suddenly from serious injury, traumatic events, or a personal loss. Regardless of the reason for our struggles, it is reassuring to know that help is there when we need it the most.
Our Psychologists will help you to overcome your challenges by providing highly competent, evidence-based counselling and assessment services and a personalized approach to care. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other well-validated treatment models are utilized within a framework that also takes into account the effects that stress, relationships, personal history and other individual differences can have on your current condition. South Island Psychology allows you to achieve your mental health goals, and to do so within the context of a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship.
