At Nurturing Minds Psychology Inverell we know that life is not always easy; pressures from the workplace, home, family and general mental health can leave us feeling drained, anxious or burnt out.

Talking to a qualified psychologist can help you find strategies to manage the stressors in your life or simply give you an opportunity to talk about your situation in a confidential, caring, nonjudgmental environment.

There are many reasons you may chose to talk to a psychologist. Some things I can help with are:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Grief and loss
  • Perinatal mental health
  • Anger management
  • Burn out and work/life balance
  • Parenting
  • Stress
  • Life transitions.

Children

Children

We all want to provide the best for our children and it can be difficult to know where to turn when your child is struggling or needs some extra support. I am experienced in working with children and teenagers over 4 years old. I utilise a variety of approaches including incorporating creative and play therapy approaches to ensure your child is comfortable and benefits from their sessions.

Where appropriate I feel it is important when a child is seeing a psychologist that their family are supportive and involved in the process guided by the needs of the child.

I can help with your child with:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Grief and loss
  • Bullying
  • Social skills
  • Anger management
  • Behaviour concerns
  • Family conflict
  • Life transitions.
