What is a Psychotherapist / Counsellor?
A psychotherapist uses talk therapy to treat people for emotional problems and mental illnesses. Depending on what degree and specialty they get, psychotherapists can also be psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, or social workers. They can work with individuals, couples, groups, or families.
Psychotherapists and counsellors use talk therapy to help you manage with general emotional unrest or acute trauma or illness. They treat everything from daily overwhelm to grief to specific mental disorders like depression or anxiety. Sometimes talk therapy is used in combination with medications or lifestyle changes. However, not all psychotherapists are licensed to prescribe medication.
What Does a Psychotherapist / Counsellor Do?
Psychotherapists and counsellors use talk therapy to help you live a better, healthier life. Psychotherapy and counselling has been shown to improve emotions and behavior, and to go along with positive changes in the body and brain.
The psychotherapist / counsellor's role in therapy is to:
Help you consider solution for your problem
Engage in discussion about it
Help you understand what you’re going through
Analyze your conversation
Help you change your actions

They have completed extensive and multiple postgraduate studies to become practicing therapists and are members of a number of regulatory agencies that govern the practice of psychotherapy and counselling in Australia. Our therapists are subject to the standards set out by The Australian Registry of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, an independent, national register of qualified counsellors and psychotherapists in Australia.
