MENTAL HEALTH

We know that positive and strong mental health is one of the foundations of everybody’s health and wellness. However, most people will struggle with mental health concerns, at various stages and times of their lives. This is completely ‘normal’ and at Wellness Embodied we are here to recognise this and provide mental health support and treatment when you need it.

SUPPORTIVE TREATMENT

Our practice is committed to supporting our clients with all aspects of their health, healing and function, mind and body. Our provisional Cairns psychologist works with our integrated team of multi-disciplinary Allied Health providers, to develop supportive and personalised treatment pathways, delivering positive outcomes for your mental health.

Provisional Psychologists

If you are wondering what a provisional psychologist is, let us explain. In accordance with the requirements of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), anyone who has successfully completed their psychology tertiary qualifications, must register as a provisional psychologist and undergo a period of supervision with appropriate people, prior to full registration.

When working with clients, our provisional Cairns psychologist does exactly the same work as a fully registered psychologist and can make diagnoses, which can be checked by a supervisor. Once the provisional psychologist has completed 6 years of study/supervision, they may apply for full registration.

How We Can Help

Mental illness can be debilitating and your mental health can be impacted by a range of situations, events and circumstances, which may or may not involve trauma. Our provisional Cairns psychologist is passionate about destigmatising mental illness and is experienced at supporting clients with a range of presenting circumstances. This includes but is not limited to depression and anxiety, trauma related conditions, addictions and those with intellectual disabilities.

At Wellness Embodied we treat the person, not just the body part and our provisional psychologist approaches clients with kindness and understanding and uses evidence-based therapies and treatments.
