Genevieve Rix is a registered psychologist who brings an emotion-focused approach to working with adults. Genevieve provides psychological therapies for a range of mental health difficulties – including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship and social issues, low self-esteem and grief/loss.

Who really knows anything about what we're doing here? In the psychology practice I offer knowing isn't as prized as wondering and exploring. I am a clinical psychologist and have worked for the past decade exploring meaning in life, the balance between change and acceptance, the unconscious, and patterns leading us to want to destroy or hurt ourselves and each other. I see many people who experience loneliness, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, pain, addiction, low self-confidence and feel a lack of direction/purpose. I work with people who are curious about their own experience and any discontent they have.

It gets full-on at times. Life feels demanding, people seem harsh or confusing, the hurt feels overwhelming, and the answers seem so far away. Other times, you’re left wondering what the point of it all is, and whether there is more to life. I want to help however I can. Helping people to understand themselves, navigate relationships, perceive the world more clearly, and discover meaning in life brings me great joy. Even better is helping people find their own innate resources to cope and to heal.

You might be experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, or even grieving a loss of someone. Perhaps you're feeling pressured and unable to truly be yourself, which is affecting your relationships with your partner, colleagues, classmates, or family members. Sometimes, difficult memories from family violence or childhood abuse can make your situation more complex. Feeling alone can be tough, especially when connecting with others becomes challenging. You don't have to face these struggles alone. Support for your emotional or psychological challenges is available. Don't hesitate to contact me to see how I can help.

The counselling services enable clients to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviours via approaches which include talking, reflecting, and mindfulness. I build a collaborative working relationship with clients, sensitively tailoring the support to meet specific needs. Creating a ‘therapeutic alliance’ is where clients feel safe and supported to explore difficult situations, and understand emotions, reactions and responses. The therapeutic alliance provides opportunities to talk through, find resolution and work towards making the desired changes to improve wellbeing while facilitating personal growth and development.

Many of us feel anxious about the future and regret aspects of our past. We can also spend a lot of energy trying to control things that are not actually within our control. At the same time we can feel that things that we have no power over states of mind such as panic attacks or phobias. We can feel anxious about feeling anxious! We want to live the best life we can but we're just not sure how to do that. Chronic anxiety, shame and anger are barriers to finding solutions for the best way forward, for being the best versions of ourselves. Learn more www.drdebbennett.com.au

We all fall on hard times. Darkness and malevolence are part of the human condition, and tragedy often strikes when we least expect it. The counterbalance is a deep human connection – a helping hand or guiding light. The first step to getting that help is often the hardest, and finding the right person is important. That help can be the difference, and it’s one of the key reasons why I became a psychologist.

Hi, I’m Phil. I enjoy assisting people with a variety of issues and areas of life. Supporting recovery from trauma is one of my key areas of practice, whether this be a big dramatic trauma event or the impact of less obvious traumas across time. I also enjoy assisting neurodivergent people to build a lifestyle that suits them and lets them thrive. Other areas I provide support for are low mood, stress and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, identity confusion, and ongoing emotional distress. My primary approaches are EMDR, Schema Therapy and ACT, but also draw on other approaches if they better suit needs of the person I am working with.
