Psychological Support
face-to-face or telehealth

Kirsten is currently not taking new clients.

Kirsten's approach to therapy is to offer support that is both targeted and practical, in a comfortable and relaxed setting.

Her approach generally draws on the the following types of therapy:

1. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to become more aware of thoughts and feelings that determine actions and consequences,
2. Personalised integrative (PI) therapy to focus on the influence diet, exercise, sleep and social connection have on mental health, 
3. Motivational therapy (MT) to find the means and motivation to change,
4. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to accept the things we cannot change and focus on the things we can,
5. Identifying coping styles and strategies - the positive and negative, and developing new positive, long-lasting coping skills, 
6. Mindfulness to find peace in an otherwise busy mind, and
7. Animal-assisted Therapy (AAT) to compliment other modes of therapy ,as a means to soothe anxiety and helps build a stronger therapeutic alliance.
