Sage Consulting Group
Improving Wellbeing with Effective Psychology
Most adults have a full range of experiences and problem-solving skills to assist in negotiating life's challenges.
Sometimes, despite our efforts, we feel unable to make sense of a personal difficulty or recover from a painful experience.
Working with a registered psychologist provides you with a skilled professional who can help you address your difficulties these issues.

SHORT TERM THERAPY
Short term therapy is a process of collaboration between patient and therapist to address current, specific difficulties which are essentially discrete in nature (such as relationship concerns, insomnia, workplace problems, an episode of conflict, stress management, etc). These appointments may occur weekly to 3 weekly for up to 4 months.
LONGER TERM PSYCHOTHERAPY
Longer Psychotherapy is a process of weekly therapy to address prolonged personal emotional and developmental difficulties (such as low self-esteem, depression, chronic mood difficulties, interpersonal difficulties, distress relating to family of origin). This deeper work focuses on exploring and understanding aspects of self and current or historical life experiences. A weekly appointment time may be offered and this time will be kept specifically for you.
After initial assessment sessions, I will discuss my treatment recommendations with you.
A GP referral is required to make an appointment.
