People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you have been feeling as if things just aren't quite right, but you can't put your finger on it. Your mind may have become a hard place to be and this is leaving you confused, tired and overwhelmed. Other times we know exactly what is causing our troubles, but we simply don't know how to deal with it. Whether you want to be able to better cope with life or whether you want to understand your life, therapy can help.

At Owen Anderson Psychology we aim to build our clients understanding of their mental health and emotional struggles and support them to use this knowledge to make changes in their life. This often involves identifying and adapting unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating to both themselves and others, building coping skills, and identifying meaningful life goals and values to drive change. We also believe there is great value in psychological testing for our young people so that they can access much needed supports as early as possible, to give them opportunity to reach their full potential.
