HOLISTIC APPROACHES: Mental health operates within systems and some Psychologists are able to use therapies addressing the whole picture through different angles such as:
- Individuals' environment (culture, stressors, boundaries)
- family history (& inner child parts),
- body factors such as nutrition to help the brain,
- increasing calmness/safety through the body (vagal, breath or using senses)
- releasing stored trauma or regulate associated emotions (EFT, neurographic, etc)
- using nature to regulate the body, or increase mindfulness (eco-psychology, outdoor sessions/ forest bathing, etc)
- using 'art' to influence unconscious systems
- understanding self-beliefs and spiritual influences (eg. grief work)
ACT THERAPY: Specific training and experience enable Psychologist Sandy Ogier to offer effective outpatient, individualised, psychological care. A number of mental health disorders can be treated to improve functioning in adults and youth. As part of her holistic approaches, a powerful new psychotherapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is central to assessment and progress. It is based on cutting-edge research into how the human mind works (3rd wave CBT). Including component of Mindfulness, it has had clinically proven success in a wide range of psychological problems such as: Anxiety, trauma, self/shame, depression, stress, bullying, emotions/anger/grief, sleep, and suicidal thoughts.
