Counselling and Intervention Services

Beyond the Surface Psychology offers a range of counselling and intervention services, drawing from evidence-based frameworks. We focus on supporting a variety of social, emotional and behavioral difficulties with a strengths-based and neuroaffirming approach. We prioritise a collaborative approach and work closely with families, schools, allied health professionals and health practitioners to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our holistic approach aims at supporting a range of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. We incorporate a person-centered and strengths-based approach to therapy, drawing on components from various therapeutic modalities, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Motivational Interviewing
• Play-based Therapy
• Mindfulness-based approaches

The therapeutic approach further draws from training completed from Mindful's 'Tuning Into Kids/Teens' and Dr. Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) models.

• Anxiety (including social/general anxiety, panic attacks and separation anxiety)
