Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, often referred to as CBT, is an integrative form of therapy that draws from both cognitive therapy (the way we think) and behavioural therapy (the way we act). The underlying premise of CBT is that people are not distressed by the events they experience, but rather their thinking and beliefs about those events.

Schema Therapy, also an evidence-based integrative form of therapy, emerged from traditional cognitive therapy. Schema Therapy provides a basis upon which people can recognise and change their negative and often distressing life-long thinking patterns called schemas.

Online Psychology offers online psychologist consultations via telephone, live text chat and video conference. All consultations last for approximately 50 minutes.

During your initial consultation, your treating psychologist will explore what has brought you to seek help by asking you routine detailed questions. This is to help you identify your therapeutic goals, and for your treating psychologist to assess how to best assist you.

All subsequent sessions will focus on addressing your identified treatment goals and needs.
