Sometimes life is difficult. When things are difficult or there's a gap between what we want and what we have we feel discomfort or pain. It’s not a sign that there’s something wrong with you, it’s a part of being human and having a heart, it’s something that you share with every other person in the world (myself included!).
That’s where therapy comes in.
We work together as a team to understand the problem, learn and practice some new skills, explore your core values (what is important & meaningful to you) and experiment with some new ways of responding to your discomfort, in order to live a more meaningful, rich and full life.

Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed about COVID, work or relationships, I believe that addressing psychological challenges should begin with developing an awareness of the influence of past experiences on current mental health.
I bring a warm, reassuring and palpably non-judgemental approach to therapy and aim to demystify mental health concepts, so that you can independently apply knowledge to your unique life circumstances. My diverse work and life experiences at hospitals, clinics, Lifeline and advocacy coupled with an innate curiosity mean I approach therapy holistically.

I believe that anyone can benefit from psychological support and coaching. You don’t need to be ‘disordered’ to see a psychologist. What you can expect when you work with me is that I consider the relationship between the mind, body and brain in my approach. I also strongly focus on the therapeutic relationship; you need to feel comfortable with your therapist in order to maximise your outcomes from the sessions. I can help with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, self-confidence, ADHD and Autism. I work with adolescents and adults. I also work through a cultural lens and understand the Asian immigrant experience.

It may be a compulsive need to overwork, a life of constant anxious thoughts, a depression with no end in sight, or a general hopelessness and resignation in the face of a chaotic life.

With IFS, we find all aspects of our personality are there for a good reason even if some parts cause trouble sometimes. I specialise in helping you integrate these parts so you can approach life with wholeness and clarity.

I work with people who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. Together we explore "what hurts", what you desire and long for and how you relate to yourself and the world. Psychodynamic therapy respects the complexity of humans and looks to provide not only relief from symptoms, but the opportunity for a richer life.

I also totally get that coming to see a psych comes with a unique set of extra fears.
Hi, I'm Belinda. I have worked as a psychologist for almost 20 years. I see you, awake in the middle of the night, or feeling your heart race for no reason, perhaps even feeling overwhelmed by the smallest things. I get that sometimes you feel so low, even when your life looks good on paper. Or maybe it doesn't look like the life you were after. All adults are welcome at Reset Psychology. More recently, I have developed a unique interest in working with midlife women and the challenges that show up in the peri-post menopause space. Learning to understand and manage the challenges that show up is vital to good health.

If you’re looking for a psychologist who is warm, grounded, and takes your anxiety seriously, I would be glad to work with you.
I provide a welcoming space, for acknowledgment, healing, and growth. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t see therapy as something “done to” you, but something we work through together. I’m interested not only in what is happening for you now, but how it makes sense given your history, relationships, and the strategies you’ve used to survive and cope. Many of those strategies were once necessary, even if they’re no longer serving you.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
