At Healing Minds, we will meet with you to gain information on the presenting issues,
background information on your general,
emotional and social health, family relationships, and events in your life.
Standardised psychological assessments are utilised for the initial assessment phase.
​
For a child or adolescent to be seen, background information needs to be provided by the parent
or primary caregiver. Information about the family history and the child's,
developmental history and experiences in the past and present will be obtained.
Similar to adults, standardised psychological assessments will be utilised to understand their developmental needs.

Feedback on the outcome of the standardised measures and initial sessions will be given,
and in consultation with you, a plan for intervention and treatment will be determined.

In the treatment phase, there will be a focus on safety, both physically and psychologically, before direct intervention is implemented.

Treatment intervention will include psycho-education about symptoms and mental health issues.

In individual therapy, evidence-based interventions are used for healing and recovery.

The following interventions can be provided:

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Schema Therapy
• Family Therapy
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Narrative Therapy
• Behaviour Therapy
