23.01.2022 Just a reminder. If you or someone in your family work (even casually) for companies (such as various Care Homes; BHP; RioTinto; Alcoa and many other companies, you may be entitled to a scheme called the Employees Assistance Program (EAP) through them. EAP agencies offer you (and each family member) up to 6 sessions free, every 12 months. Its still confidential and employers do not need to be notified. However, EAP uses what we call a brief solution focused model this diff...ers from long term therapy approach so best used for a small issue/decision only. Reports or letters are not provided by these sessions, so not good for workers compensation issues or therapy for mental/emotional issues/disorders requiring a more extensive approach. Check with your Human Resources Dept or HSO Rep to see which agency your company contract to. Usually these agencies refer out to local Psychologists rather than employing their own staff. I also take EAP referrals from many of these agencies like Davidson Trahaire; BSS; Adecco/Optum; Converge International; and others. Ask to be referred to me, Karen Abbott.

20.01.2022 Truly Scrumptious my emotional therapy helper. Uhmmm perhaps needs help herself. Shes trying to catch penguins jumping onto an iceberg, ON TV !!

16.01.2022 I'd like to explain to you how I work because a lot of you think you have to come in and talk in depth about your past. I don't work by saying "lie down on my couch and tell me about your deep dark past." I'm interested in spending more time helping you to move forward. So, while in a first session, you can give me some brief history, I want to know how that is affecting you (physically, mentally & emotionally) today. From then on I'll show you some strategies, ways to cope... and perhaps turn around those reactions that aren't working for you. I've been working this way for 20 years and find it very effective. It's very empowering! You can make great changes in your life, and create habits that will work for you! Life Skills for Healthy Adults! Please note I do not do court/legal reports/notes. Within my ethical, legal and professional boundaries I prefer confidentiality to concentrate on the psychological process of the issues affecting you rather than the intimate everyday details. I want to help you look after yourself. However, should you Intend to physically hurt yourself or someone else and the deals off. I will take steps to look after you and the other person and that can involve breaking confidentiality. That is a legal requirement.
