Whether you're an adolescent, young adult, or adult seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD, our qualified psychologists in the Northern Rivers provide compassionate care tailored to your life stage and specific challenges.

We specialise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), evidence-based treatments proven effective for trauma and stress. Depending on client needs, we integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solutions Focused Therapy for comprehensive mental health support.

What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

ACT therapy helps adolescents and adults develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling and behaving to live a rich and meaningful life. This evidence-based approach promotes psychological flexibility—the ability to manage uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while adapting to life's inevitable challenges and changes. Our Lismore psychologists are trained in ACT and use it to treat anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma in teens and adults.

During ACT therapy sessions in Lismore, clients learn practical skills and spend time identifying and strengthening their understanding of personal values, what's important to them, and setting meaningful goals for lasting positive change.

What is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)?

EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, evidence-based psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences and trauma. Our EMDR-trained psychologists in Lismore employ bilateral stimulation (often eye movements) to help reprocess distressing or disturbing memories into an adaptive state, reducing their negative impact on current wellbeing.

EMDR therapy is best known for effectively treating PTSD and trauma, and research demonstrates its effectiveness for treating anxiety, depression, phobias, addiction, chronic pain, migraines, and tinnitus. Available at our Lismore psychology practice and via Telehealth throughout NSW.
