Understand Yourself Better
At Living Well Psychology Clinic, our individual therapy service is designed to provide a supportive and confidential space for personal growth and healing. This form of therapy focuses on helping clients understand their thoughts, emotions and behaviours while addressing a wide range of concerns. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma or difficulties with life transitions, our sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs.
Through evidence-based approaches, we guide you to explore the challenges you face, uncover patterns that may be holding you back and develop strategies to navigate them more effectively. Individual therapy is about empowering you to gain greater self-awareness, build resilience and work towards meaningful changes in your life. By offering personalised care, we aim to help you achieve emotional balance and equip you with tools that promote long-term mental well-being.
Telehealth options are available for those unable to attend in person, ensuring therapy is accessible and flexible. Individual therapy can also complement

Frequently Asked Questions
What challenges can individual therapy help with?
Individual therapy addresses a broad spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief and self-esteem challenges. It is also effective for managing relationship issues, workplace stress and life transitions. The therapist tailors the approach based on the specific needs and goals of the client. By creating a safe environment for reflection and growth, therapy can lead to improved mental health and emotional well-being.
How is individual therapy different from other types of therapy?
Individual therapy focuses on the unique experiences, goals and challenges of a single person, providing a personalised and confidential setting. Unlike group or family therapy, it allows for a deeper exploration of personal concerns without the influence of external relationships. The process is tailored entirely to the individual, offering a more focused approach to understanding and addressing mental health needs.
How Individual Therapy Works
Individual therapy begins with an initial session to understand your concerns, goals and history. This collaborative approach allows us to develop a personalised plan that addresses your unique circumstances. During sessions, we use evidence-based methods such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns and emotional triggers. Therapy sessions provide a structured environment to explore past experiences, current challenges and future aspirations.
By examining the connections between your thoughts, feelings and actions, we guide you towards recognising and modifying behaviours that may impact your well-being. Regular progress reviews ensure that the strategies we implement remain relevant and effective. Whether the focus is on managing stress, coping with grief or improving self-esteem, individual therapy offers a dynamic process that evolves with your needs, helping you build confidence and emotional strength over time.
