Frequently Asked Questions

Are your psychologists registered?

Just like face-to-face psychologists, our Registered Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists are registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA), listed with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and individually approved by My Mirror.

What criteria do you use to individually approve each psychologist?

We ensure all of our Clinical Psychologists and General Psychologists have current registration to practice with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) and are listed with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). My Mirrors ensure all of our psychologists have the required credentials and qualifications, and have relevant experience in the treatment of mental health issues. They also undergo an interview process conducted by a team of us at My Mirror, to ensure they uphold the highest of standards in ethical care and work in line with evidence-based practices to guide your therapy.

What types of issues can solution-focused therapy help with?

Solution focused therapy is a goal-oriented and brief therapeutic approach that focuses on finding solutions to current problems rather than dwelling on the past or analysing the root causes of issues.

What happens during a solution-focused therapy session?

During a solution-focused therapy session, the therapist and client work together to identify goals, strengths, and resources. The therapist helps the client explore solutions and develop strategies to achieve their goals. Sessions focus on the present and future rather than dwelling on past problems.

Can solution-focused therapy be combined with other forms of therapy?

Yes, solution-focused therapy can be seamlessly integrated as a complement to longer-form therapy. It can serve as a valuable check-in between sessions, providing focused support and progress tracking to supplement ongoing therapeutic work.

How do I know if solution-focused therapy is right for me?

Solution-focused therapy may be right for you if you prefer a short-term, goal-oriented approach that focuses on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It can also be beneficial if you're looking for practical strategies to address specific challenges.

How can I prepare for a solution-focused therapy session?

To prepare for a solution-focused therapy session, you can think about your goals, strengths, and resources beforehand. Consider what changes you would like to make in your life and be ready to discuss them with your therapist.
