Psychology
Why is psychology so important?
Seeing a Psychologist can benefit you in a number of ways. It allows you to access a safe and comfortable space to explore your thoughts, feelings, worries and anything else that you might like to discuss in a private and confidential space. A Psychologist is there to support you with improving your mental health and guide you through difficult times in your life.
Psychologists receive extensive training to provide you with evidence-based assessment and interventions that are tailored to your unique and individual needs. Therapy is an interactive and collaborative process where you and your therapist will agree to an intervention plan and work together to address any concerns you might have. Within this intervention, it’s YOUR individual needs and requirements that are prioritized.
Anyone can benefit from seeing a Psychologist. Looking after our mind is an incredibly important part of our well being and our team of friendly therapists are there to support you with their non-judgemental and caring approach.
Who needs it?
People come to see a Psychologist for a range of mental health concerns and difficult life circumstances. Some examples include:

What do I need in my plan?
To access Psychology with an NDIS plan, you will need funding under the Capacity Building category – Improved Daily Living. You can also access Psychology from Core funding under some circumstances.
Please note that we also see client’s who are non-NDIS funded and will accept private payment or third party payment arrangements i.e. Victims of Crime, DFFH.
We also have group therapy programs available for our clients who wish to access this support. Funding can be taken from either Capacity Building or Core if NDIS, otherwise private and third party payment is also accepted.
How do I get it?
The first step is to enquire with our friendly Senior Practitioner for Psychology, Tina. You can reach her by phoning our head office or emailing info@libertydisabilityservices.com.au
