Claire Baxter, Psychologist
Psychology, Psychoanalysis
Psychological consultations are a talking based therapy in which you are able to talk about what is going on for you. A psychologist listens, and typically asks questions to help you both to gain a deeper insight into what may be occurring for you. Psychologists trained in Australia have completed 6 years of study in psychology (or 4 years of study plus 2 years of supervised practice). Psychological knowledge is evidence based. Psychologists are often trained to deliver therapies such as CBT, interpersonal therapy, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic therapy.
Psychoanalysis is both a theory and practice. It acknowledges the influence of the unconscious mind on thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and the importance of human relationships on the human psyche.
