Psychological Services
We are you. We live here and have family and friends here. We understand the rural lens, which means that we know how wonderful Southwest Queensland can be and the challenges that living here can bring. We also understand the need for discretion and confidentiality. We are an independent private service and are part of the local network. We know and can work alongside other providers to ensure you get the best care possible.
Assessment
At Rural Psych, we are proud of our range of comprehensive, standardised, evidence-based assessment tools. Providing both the Psychology and the Occupational Therapy perspective allows us to deeply understand an individual's functioning, from sensory processing to executive functioning skills.
Psychological Treatment & Support
Talk, feel understood, and collaborate. The way forward is simply to begin. At Rural Psych, we want to get to know you and help you achieve your goals. You bring openness and willingness to share your story; we will meet it with warmth, experience, and knowledge.
NDIS
Everybody deserves support to optimise their psychological and physical health. Rural Psych works with NDIS participants to help them to achieve their goals and maximise their quality of life. We can also use our comprehensive standardised assessments to evidence disability and to support people wanting to access the NDIS. Already on the NDIS and ready to get started? Simply complete our NDIS intake form and we will draw up a Service Agreement.
Telehealth & eCounselling
Access for all. Telehealth is an effective and efficient way to overcome the barriers of distance. Rural Psych uses phone or Zoom as its platform for telehealth consults. Zoom uses E2EE encryption. Your clinician will 'lock' the meeting to ensure no one can enter your session. Your session is totally private and secure.
Elder Wellbeing
Rural Psych’s program, Reflection Through Connection, uses the principles of narrative therapy, genealogy, and legacy to celebrate a senior's story. We collaborate with our seniors to reflect on their lives, valued relationships, life highlights, and the strengths they have drawn on to get them through the tough times. This culminates in our ‘Life board,' packed with images documenting their journey.
Seminars & Training
Rural Psych values supporting the learning of others who want to enrich their knowledge of mental health and wellbeing. We do this through training, educational activities (workshops, seminars, workplace activities), and group work, working with others' innate knowledge and building on it.
