Looking for Psychology Coach in St Kilda?
Our psychologists can provide short-medium term coaching for a range of concerns. We see coaching is a useful way of developing skills and abilities, and of boosting performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems. We see young people looking at university challenges, all the way to executives wanting to find ways to motivate their team.
We have a targeted approach to coaching where we first assess your needs, whether it is developing more confidence in public speaking, preparing for a new career path, making a decision about travel, family or health. We can create a structured approach to examining your goals and ways to reach them.
There are multiple ways to implement coaching into your lifestyle, whether you meet with a psychologist once a week, month or every six weeks. We can fit your program to your timetable. Reach out and ask us about our after hours or Saturday times that suit you.
Coaching can provide you or loved ones with a path to personal and professional growth. Sometimes we just need specific support to help us make sense of problems that we would otherwise feel uncomfortable discussing with are close confidentants.
Psychologists are trained in understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and enjoy investigating your motives and strengths. We are happy when we see clients develop greater clarity into their authentic selves and build on their self confidence.
Below are a few our most frequently asked questions. Take a look and if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
A psychologist is trained with undergraduate and postgraduate studies of psychological science and assessment. Psychologists treat those that range from those who suffer serious mental illness to those needing support in understanding their relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviours. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor with additional specialised training in mental health. They are able to prescribe medication and work well with GP’s and psychologists.
Have you ever been to a GP and thought you might be suited to another doctor? It is the same with a psychologist. It is important that in the first session you ask questions and learn about the therapist’s style in order to feel comfortable. You or someone you know may have had a disappointing experience with a psychologist in the past – do not let this be a barrier to reaching your goals, it just wasn’t the right fit. We care about placing you with the right person, with the right intervention and at the right time.
Absolutely not. Psychological therapy is available to every person on planet earth. We are all human and share similar hopes, fears and struggles. No one is immune to the complexity of life and seeking education about your mental health is something to be proud of. Each year we get better at communicating our mental wellbeing, and our communities are benefitting from the results.
As caring and empathetic your concerns may be for a loved one, it is up to them to make change happen. But your insight and access to our resources can be of great benefit. The Contemporary Psychology clinic has a wide variety of information to offer so you can direct them to this website, this way they can see what we’re on about, and they can send an email or give us a call. You are also encouraged to attend and discuss your own fears regarding a loved one if this has been getting you down.
