Hello. Welcome to Star Psych. Let me tell you a bit about this remote psychology service.
I am an APHRA-registered psychologist in private practice since 2011. I’m based on Sunshine Coast in Queensland but offer psychology services Australia-wide via telehealth. I have been registered as a psychologist since 1997 and since that time have worked in the profession in clinical, government, corporate, and university settings. Since 2022 I switched from seeing clients in person on the Sunshine Coast to supporting clients across Australia via phone or video calls. My approach to psychological therapy is collaborative and individually tailored. It draws on a solid evidence base and a range of psychological models: cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT); narrative therapy; motivational interviewing; mindfulness-based interventions; positive psychology; interpersonal therapy; brief, solution-focussed therapy and person-centred therapy (Rogerian). My aim is to create a non-judgemental and empathic environment where clients feel comfortable to explore their issues as they progress towards improved levels of well being and functioning. ★

Benefits of Telehealth
Effective Studies consistently show that, compared to in-person therapy, telehealth therapy is every bit as effective.
Comfort & Privacy Appointments are attended from a private space in your home or office. Being relaxed & comfortable in your own space facilitates the process of psychological therapy.
Convenient Save time with every psychology services appointment by not having to commute to attend. Also, no traffic or parking hassles! Due to time savings, sessions are easily attended in lunch breaks.
Continuity of Care Therapy is not disrupted if you relocate or travel a lot (e.g., FIFO workers). Regardless of your location in Australia, it can continue.
Accessible Greater accessibility to psychology services therapy is provided for those largely housebound by mobility transport issues. In rural or remote areas where access to psychology services can be an issue, telehealth is a practical solution.
Easy Attending appointments is as simple as clicking a link sent to you or answering your phone (your choice). No software to download, and the video platform is secure. For video calls, all you need is reliable reception and a computer or smart phone.
