Common Psychological Issues
Anxiety affects us all and can show up as rumination, obsessing about things, excessive worry, physical symptoms, and avoidance. It can at times really get in the way of life. We can help you understand and master anxiety through evidence based therapy.
Depression is more than feeling sad. It can leave you feeling empty, disconnected, numb, and it can affect your mood, motivation, energy, sleep, and daily life. Therapy for depression is very effective and can help you reconnect with what matters most.
Anger is very common experience and ranges from irritability to rage. It can be caused by many things like injustice, conflict, feeling threatened, or feeling blocked from things you want or care about. Ongoing anger difficulties can impact your relationships, work, and health. The good news is that there are many effective strategies for understanding and managing anger.
Work is so important in peoples lives, and yet it is often stressful, and increasingly fast paced and demanding. Stress at work can impact your confidence, relationships, overall health, and every workplace performance. We have helped many people get work life back to being healthy and into balance.
Poor sleep can affect everything, and is increasingly a problem for people in today’s world. As people age so sleep also changes and people often need to learn to approach it differently. We can help you improve sleep and restore healthy sleep patterns.
While some worry is normal, excessive or persistent worry can become exhausting and interfere with everyday life. We can help you discover ways to reduce overthinking and develop healthier coping strategies.
Alcohol and substance use are very common on society, but when they become a problem they can affect physical health, relationships, work, and emotional wellbeing. With our help you can learn how evidence-based treatments can create lasting positive change for you.
Traumatic experiences and significant losses can have lasting effects on emotional wellbeing. They can change our thinking, emotions, and even our nervous system. We can help you explore how, through therapy, you can process difficult experiences and move forward with confidence.
Specialising
In Providing Evidence Based Treatments
At Sydney Clinical Psychology, we provide evidence-based treatments that are supported by extensive research and tailored to each individual’s needs. Our clinicians all have extensive training in the treatments they use, which are proven therapeutic approaches. These approaches help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other mental health concerns.
After taking time to fully understand you and your difficulties, your psychologist will discuss with you which approach is best suited to you and your needs.
CBT is an effective, practical and evidence-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and make positive changes in their daily lives.
ACT combines mindfulness and cognitive and behavioural strategies to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions while focusing on what matters most to them. It is effective with a wide range of problems.
DBT helps people develop skills for emotion regulation, stress management, interpersonal relationships, and building long-term resilience. It tends to be a bit longer term and used with more longstanding or complex problems.
Schema Therapy explores long-standing patterns of thinking and behaviour, helping people break unhelpful cycles and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. It also tends to be longer term and used with more longstanding or complex problems.
