Do you need to move forward, or retrace your steps?
Do you need someone to guide you to get you where you need to go?
Or maybe you just need to know that someone’s walking beside you, so you get there safely.
New Directions Psychology can help you navigate your way back to emotional balance
It’s a brave step to acknowledge that things aren’t working for you, or for someone in your family. You may not be sure which way to turn but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Since 2007, New Directions Psychology has supported the mental health and wellbeing of adults, children, and families across Perth’s north-eastern suburbs. We have worked alongside people from all walks of life, helping them move toward greater balance, clarity, and resilience.
New Directions Psychology is a collective of independent clinicians, united by a shared commitment to creating a genuinely warm, respectful, and compassionate space for both our clients and one another. Each clinician operates independently and can be contacted directly regarding their services.
Our clinicians bring extensive experience in supporting complex presentations, and we welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and across a broad range of life experiences. Our services are delivered in a friendly, relaxed environment, so you can feel comfortable and supported as you engage in your care. And you can feel assured that each session is held with the utmost confidentiality, care, and respect.
What New Directions can you take?
Older Adults
What happens when the circle of friends and family you’ve grown old with starts to get smaller? When you lose connection to the outside world through pain, grief, isolation or loss of purpose, it’s never too late to find a new direction.
Workers’ Compensation Counselling
Our team of experienced psychologists are committed to assisting you in overcoming the hurdles posed by work-related injuries and trauma, including through PTSD therapies and evidence-based counselling techniques.
NDIS Psychology Services
Our NDIS psychologist therapists are committed to supporting your journey towards improved disability management. We deliver impactful mental health care to adults, adolescents and children, empowering them to achieve a resilient, healthy mind.
Susan has also become an accredited “TACKLE YOUR FEELINGS” Facilitator. It is a mental health training program for local footy and netball clubs and coaches and is being run Australia wide. It strives to improve understanding and awareness of mental health as well as build skills within the footy coaches to foster an environment where athletes are supported to effectively manage their emotions.
How do I start my New Directions journey?
Entrance to the building is via Fitzgerald Street, through the glass automatic sliding doors. A lift is located in the lobby. Please take the lift to Level 1 (First Floor), where our offices are located on the left as you exit the lift.
As we do not have a reception team, please take a seat in the shared waiting area, and your clinician will come out to greet you at the time of your appointment (and we will do our best to not run late!)
STEP
01
Initial session
During the first session with your psychologist, they’ll want to get to know a little about you and your history. Expect to talk about your current and previous mental health issues, as well as your family, medical and personal history.
STEP
02
Tailor your therapy
After your initial session, your psychologist will take the time to tailor your therapy as we do not use a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Most people will feel the benefits of treatment after a few sessions.
STEP
03
Conclusion
At the conclusion of your session, your psychologist will book your next appointment and provide you with a reminder card. Together you’ll head to reception to organise payment of your account.
