Does your child or loved one challenge you? Not in the ways that others might think... Somehow their behaviour is just... different! But in ways that only you understand. Perhaps your loved one runs away, doesn't listen, spits, shouts, masks or has frequent "meltdowns". Or perhaps you suspect your loved one has a condition like Autism or ADHD- maybe they were recently diagnosed. No matter what is underlying your loved one's challenging behaviour, I want to help you reduce the behaviours so that your loved-one can achieve their full potential!

Hi, I’m Rebekah, a qualified clinical psychologist specialising in neuropsychology and clinical health psychology. I am passionate about compassionately helping people make sense of life – through depression, anxiety, or stress, after a health diagnosis or through neurorehabilitation using evidence-based therapy

Hello! I am Dr Hannah Jobse. As a Clinical Psychologist, I believe effective therapy is grounded in the best available research while recognising that every person’s experiences are unique. I believe that understanding why we think, feel and respond the way we do is an important part of change. Together, we’ll explore psychological processes to help you make sense of your own thoughts, emotions and behaviours, and understand how your experiences & life circumstances have shaped the patterns you find yourself in today. We’ll also develop practical, evidence-based skills that you can continue to draw upon long after therapy has ended.

The people I work with often come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected - from themselves, from others, or from a sense of purpose or ease. Many are navigating stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, or past trauma. Others are struggling with identity or relationship difficulties, including issues around confidence, shame, sexuality, sex or intimacy.
Clients usually want a space where they can make sense of what’s going on without fear of judgment or pressure to “perform” emotionally. They want to feel more grounded and connected - to themselves and others, and that starts with feeling seen, heard and understood.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
