22.01.2022 I talk to myself

06.01.2022 I will post (republish) my "DEAR DICK" articles that had been published in the LOCAL BULLETIN (Brisbane) over the last 15 years. I will try for a new one every week or so.

01.01.2022 EXPERIENCE COUNTS I have had over 40 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist PLEASE CHECK OUT MY INFORMATION: WEB PAGE: www.feel-good.com.au... LET ME SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Kenmore Hills. Since I graduated in 1971 with a M.Sc (Qld) in psychology, I have had a wide range of experience including working as a Senior Psychologist for Alcohol and Drug Dependent Services and as a Consultant to St Andrew’s Hospital, Ipswich. Over the years, the majority of my work has been in private practice. A UNIQUE THERAPY PACKAGE Over the years, I have developed a unique package for helping people. This package combines a variety of different techniques and approaches. My focus is always on helping clients overcome problems which prevent them from reaching their full potential in life. My style of therapy is understanding, sensitive, caring and supportive. APPROACHES AND TECHNIQUES I continue to develop and improve the range of approaches and techniques that I use. These improvements have resulted in most of my clients achieving excellent outcomes. I am warmed by the positive feed-back that I continue to receive from clients who are making good progress. For the conditions listed below, my clients have reported particularly good outcomes when I have used the follow-ing interventions: 1. ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION a combination of modified CBT and Emotional Freedom Technique 2. WORK-RELATED STRESS, BULLYING etc assertiveness training, role play and self esteem improve-ment techniques 3. CONFLICT RESOLUTION FOR COUPLES AND FAMILIES (one of my specialty areas) communication improvement, active listening, empathy training and anger management 4. ADJUSTMENT ISSUES Voice Dialogue, anxiety reduction and CBT to facilitate making important life changes 5. LOSS AND GRIEVING ISSUES supportive CBT, permission to express feelings and emotions release to help people work through their grief 6. CHRONIC DISEASES Over the years, I have helped many patients and their families deal with cancer and other chronic diseases. I have helped with issues of shock and grief and how to nurture a positive approach to possible recovery. OTHER CONDITIONS & ISSUES I also treat many other conditions, problems & lifestyle challenges. I help clients develop a more positive and en-thusiastic approach to life. I WELCOME NEW REFERRALS I am accepting new referrals at the current time. Please keep me in mind, particularly if you require the expertise of a more experienced clinician. I treat people over a wide range of ages. PRACTICE MANAGER Sharon Stathis RN is the clinic practice manager. She has had experience in a wide range of nursing.
