Therapies and Support

Psychiatric Assessment

(Telehealth or in-person)

This assessment gives you access to our consulting psychiatrist to review your case, medications, diagnosis, and requested pathology from your GP. This assessment offers you a third-party review of your situation and history while making recommendations of treatment and care to your team.

Psychotherapy

(trauma informed and trained)

We offer all traditional forms of therapy with clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors plus new and proven methods of non-talk therapies that are PTSD specific.

This will be the main psychotherapist within your treatment team that will work with you throughout the entire programme. You will learn to actively apply up-to-date tools and skillsets enabling you to self-regulate mood, anxiety, stress, depression, heal relationships, safely treat trauma, re-address mindsets and self-worth.

Neuroscience & Brain Training

Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback ‘trains the brain’ for better cognitive performance and helps regulate certain brain activities. Patients attend sessions at least 2 times per week for anywhere between 20 to 30 sessions. After the learned brain activity has been consolidated, no further sessions are needed.

Safe

We strictly administer Neurofeedback following a comprehensive assessment, so that the program is of optimal benefit to the patient.

Improves Sleep

By training the brain to less overactive states, Neurofeedback can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

No side effects

Neurofeedback is proven to be safe and other than feeling a little tired after a session, there are no side effects to this brain training technique. Unlike certain sedative sleep medications which may induce fogginess or drowsiness during the day, Neurofeedback therapy has the advantage that it promotes natural sleep to recalibrate a healthy circadian rhythm.

Scientifically Proven

We only apply protocols that have been rigorously tested in science and use technologies that are supported by these studies. A comprehensive QEEG and Actigraphy sleep assessment provides a deeper insight into your brain activity, to better tailor your program.

HBOT

(Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) combines increased levels of oxygen with elevated levels of pressure inside a comfortable and relaxing hyperbaric chamber. This therapeutic combination of pressure and oxygen can assist the natural healing powers of the body.

Under these conditions, larger amounts of oxygen are dissolved into the plasma and tissue, which can penetrate areas of the body that may have poor or restricted blood flow. The increased oxygen levels in the tissue stimulate healing processes including the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), the migration of white blood cells and the proliferation of fibroblasts, allowing the body to change the disease processes.

Used in conjunction with good medical advice, HBOT is a whole-body experience that supports and enhances the positive effects of quality medical interventions, reduces inflammation, assists healing, and speeds up the rehabilitation process. HBOT has been used successfully to repair damaged tissue, remediate disease, and resolve neurological complications.

Psychotherapy

(equine assisted)

Trauma-informed equine-assisted therapy often helps clients change and grow more effectively and quickly than traditional clinical and psycho-educational approaches. Assisting in letting go of the trauma and the past.

Very effective therapy for trauma, stress and PTSD, self-development and relationships.

Psychotherapy

(art assisted)

Trauma-informed transpersonal art therapy holistically values the whole person in mind, body & spirit allowing you to release what is hidden in your subconscious and bring it to a conscious level by way of using art and symbolism as tools.

This form of psychotherapy powerfully integrates with all your other forms of therapy

Clayfield Therapy

(Trauma-Informed Therapy)

This unique focus on the sense of touch and the movement of the hands is particularly effective for trauma healing in adults and children. The intense tactile experience of working with clay allows the therapist to work through early attachment issues, developmental setbacks and traumatic events with the client in a primarily nonverbal way using a body-focused approach.

The kinaesthetic motor action of the hands combined with sensory perception can lead to a profound sense of resolution with lasting therapeutic benefits.

Family Dynamic Therapy

Family constellations work is considered most effective in addressing concerns that are systemic in nature. These concerns might include family of origin issues, parent-child relationship difficulties, and intimate relationship challenges.

It may be used as a potential therapy method for people who:

Are seeking to address negative or harmful relationship patterns
Want to be in a romantic relationship
Are attempting to resolve family entanglements
Want to overcome inner turmoil
Have experienced significant trauma or loss
Are in search of personal and professional success

Psychotherapy

(mindfulness & breath-work)

Physical and mindful therapy to reduce nervous system and assist with sleep. Self care techniques that allow you to regulate and a great way to come back to what’s important - self-care in enabling the body and mind to thrive.

NeuroAcoustic Sound Therapy

The Sound Therapy is individualised and aims to regulate your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to achieve a Zero-Stress State (Homeostasis). That is, a state of equilibrium and balance between the stress handling and relaxation components of the ANS thus allowing healing to occur.

In each phase of the Sound Therapy process, with the use of some amazing technology, you hear and feel your individualised vibration and frequency, with each of the eight phases working to balance and re-train the nervous system. We will monitor you during each weekly session and provide visual feedback on the state of your ANS so progress can be shared

Appointments: Initial consultation plus follow-up with a shared sound file to be used anytime.

Red Light Therapy

(Photobiomodulation therapy)

Much like the sun gives us Vitamin D Photobiomodulation (light) therapy is a fast-growing technology used to treat a multitude of conditions that require stimulation of healing, relief of pain and inflammation, and restoration of function.

Red and near-infrared light therapy has been clinically proven to:

Restore mitochondrial oxidation and energy production
Assists with sleep function
Speed muscle recovery and enhance peak performance
Heal acne and blemishes
Fade scars and stretch marks
Faster wound healing
Reduce joint inflammation
Aid recovery from Hypothyroidism
Enhance collagen synthesis and repair

Red and infrared light helps our mighty mitochondria function better. Better functioning mitochondria mean more energy and less risk for disease.

The skin is the organ that is naturally exposed to light more than any other organ. Red and near Infrared are the only wavelengths that penetrate through the skin. The photons are absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores in skin cells. Consequently, electron transport, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) nitric oxide release, blood flow, reactive oxygen species increase and diverse signalling pathways get activated. Stem cells can also be activated allowing increased tissue repair and healing.

Hydrotherapy

Enjoy spas, hydro jets, and float tanks to support relaxation and self-regulation. We include these therapies as part of your downtime in the schedule over weekends and after national park walks through Noosa and Mount Coolum.
