INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT
Our Approach
At Blue Gum Psychology, we aim to:
​
-
Work with a clear approach, but not rigidly.
-
Listen carefully and engage with the issues that matter to you.
-
Monitor our effectiveness to continually improve the impact of our treatments.
We understand that psychological difficulties are not always clear-cut or visible. Most people who seek help have multiple problems, many of which may fall outside a recognized mental health condition.
Problems can be longstanding or can come and go. It may be anxiety or pain, lack of direction, grief, or depression. It may be a sense of feeling out of control or being controlled in relationships, or being unfulfilled professionally. It may be a dull sense of loneliness or a
lack of connection in life. It may be that past hurts and trauma are shaping and influencing your life in the present.
When challenges reach this point, we’re often not available to life in the way we want to be. It’s more difficult to live by what matters to us, see and grasp opportunity, or meet challenges. We’re likely to be less open to possibility.
What We Can Help With
While we work with a range of conditions listed in the DSM-5—such as anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, depression, borderline personality disorder, psychotic disorders, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders—we do not rely solely on diagnosis to guide our approach.
