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.

As a social work therapist with lived experience of Autism, mental ill-health and caring responsibilities, I work in a way that is sensitive and thoughtful in very complex life experiences of ongoing grief, loss, or feeling on the outside socially. I work with a diverse group of people seeking reassurance, assistance to process and make sense of life’s challenges, and to consider their own needs. Many are seeking to return to work, find greater balance in responsibilities or develop confidence in navigating complex health services and community systems.

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.

My work is focused on assisting people struggling with life’s challenges. I work in identifying the irrational thoughts and beliefs that can lead to stress and maladaptive behaviours. Often our thoughts are the result of a dysfunctional or abusive childhood. These thoughts can severely impact our self esteem and our ability to function in a healthy manner. I have spent many years working with the inner child and identifying the trauma that a person may be carrying. Once we can make sense of irrational thinking, we are able to focus on new behaviours.

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

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
