If you are having problems in your daily life you may find it helpful to talk to a clinical psychologist. 

There are some problems that we can work through ourselves, but talking with a professional may make it easier and quicker to solve problems, make changes, or identify issues that may require more specialised treatment and solutions. This is especially relevant during the difficult circumstances we are now experiencing in Australia and around the world.

Problems that you were previously managing, may now be exacerbated by additional stressors.

Dr Jennifer Rathjen is an experienced clinical psychologist and her training and expertise enable her to treat a broad range of mental health problems.

Jennifer will help you understand and deal with the issues you are facing and also provide you with tools to use on your own to cope with intense emotional experiences, stressful situations and difficult interpersonal problems in the future to improve life satisfaction, productivity, goal achievement and improved relationships.

Jennifer offers both shorter and longer term therapy for adolescents and adults. 

Jennifer is committed to using therapy strategies that have been proven to be effective in controlled research studies. These include:

Therapy Sessions 

During the initial consultation Jennifer will get an understanding of your goals and expectations for therapy. She will work with you to help gain an understanding of the difficulties that you are experiencing and also generate a flexible plan that you are comfortable with. In subsequent sessions therapy progress will be reviewed with reference to your goals, and feedback will be encouraged to ensure your needs are met. Therapy sessions are generally 50 minutes in duration.

Services are provided in accordance with The Australian Psychological Society Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
