Telehealth psychologists
Counselling & support for family and domestic violence
Psychologists play a crucial role in supporting individuals who have previously been, or are currently affected by domestic violence and abuse. They can provide assessment, intervention, and therapy which is tailored to the unique needs of the individual they are working with, and many psychologists have specific experience and skills in working with trauma, family and domestic violence, sexual assault or working with children on the same topics.
Trauma informed therapy
Understand how domestic violence trauma has impacted a persons life, and how they have coped with and managed trauma. It integrates and considers the effects of trauma on all elements of therapy and focusses on building trust, being collaborative and empowering to build a sense of safety – which in turn promotes recovery and healing.
Safety Planning
Develop personalised plans to enhance safety, reduce the risk of harm, and improve your wellbeing. Safety planning may include identifying safe people and locations, creating a “run” bag full of essential items needed to start again, access or explore emergency resources, and develop coping strategies for managing crisis or risk situations.
Therapy techniques
CBT, mindfulness based interventions, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) are techniques used to support people who have experienced domestic violence. Psychologists can also help process experiences, provide education, promote resilience, and develop coping strategies to help heal emotional wounds associated with trauma and abuse.
