Individual psychotherapy for adults, Geelong
The Mindwell team based in Belmont, Geelong are experts in using psychotherapy, otherwise known as “talk therapy”, to treat the full range of mental health conditions and deal with challenging life issues. Psychotherapy is a set of purposeful techniques based on scientific theory and evidence. This form of treatment is well-established, effective and long-lasting.
Talking to a professional psychologist can provide you with support, reduce distress, relieve symptoms, enhance your ability to cope and find solutions, and improve your overall well-being and functioning. Research shows a link between psychotherapy and positive changes in the brain and body, similar to that of medication. Psychotherapy can therefore be used as an alternative or adjunct to psychiatric medications.
Many people also find that psychotherapy can be an amazing asset to managing the struggles of daily living, enriching interpersonal and family relationships, and boosting personal growth. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem that may have been keeping you “stuck”, in any aspect of your life.
Psychotherapy can help you identify important pieces of the puzzle that make up who you are, empowering you to rearrange the pieces and move forward as a more functional and integrated whole.
