You
can work with Narelle Stratford, as heard on Radio 4BC when interviewed by Greg Carey on the
Morning Show!
Need
a Psychologist, Counsellor or master practitioner nlp, timeline and hypnosis in or close to
brisbane?
What is a Psychologist?
A
psychologist has been trained to understand how your mind
works from your thoughts, to the physiological, chemical and structural aspects
of your brain, to
your emotions.
{Psychologists
complete at least 4 years at university, plus another 2 under supervision, or
another 2 or 3 completing a Master's Degree or PhD, so there is a lot of study involved.}
What
does a Psychologist do?
Psychologists
work with people who are having trouble thinking clearly, having trouble
emotionally, or having trouble performing positively.
For
example, this includes working with people with depression and providing CBT
and education to treat depression.
Or,
perhaps you get anxious and even suffer panic attacks, then you may want
to learn meditation and mindfulness practices or relaxation
exercises to assist you to let go of your old panic or anxiety
behaviours.
Panic
and anxiety are very real for the person suffering from these often
debilitating disorders and you will receive a Relax Now CD at your first
appointment to help you release anxiety and panic, or to feel more positive and
optimistic if you are depressed or stressed.
What
do you think of the thoughts you have been having? Are they helpful,
constructive, optimistic and positive or do they keep you caught in a downward
negative, anxious, stressed or depressed spiral?
Narelle
Stratford will use a variety of techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy,
or Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Timeline Techniques or Hypnosis
/ Hypnotherapy, or even Be Set Free Fast which will be able to help you sort out all of those thoughts, beliefs,
emotions and behaviours (such as I am stressed, I am depressed, or I fear a
panic attack or I'm binge eating again), so that you calm down and actually like and love
yourself.
[SMILE:
Can't
spell psychologist? Think Psycho Logist]
Perhaps
you've lived under the shadow of your past for too long and you just want to
feel like a normal person?
Wanting to be different or to laugh again is a great place for you to start from.
You know it's your old emotional baggage
that you are carting around that stops you from feeling normal now, and the good
news is you can lose it, because Narelle is thought of as
the baggage handler no airline will hire!
How?
Within the field of psychology there is
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which gets you thinking about how you think
about things and also how you can change your behaviours with a different set of
strategies.
Then there's
NLP and Timeline Techniques, or even hypnosis
so that you can let go of those heavy old bags and feel good.
Wouldn't that
be great? To feel happy and normal like other people knowing that I am OK,
I'm not a fraud, I am successful.
Psychologists
have the tools and training to assess, coach, train, counsel and support
you. Your
life
can be different through working with a psychologist who will also help you to
learn and use cognitive and
behavioural strategies.
Taking time for yourself is not always the commitment you want to make,
and usually you know you need to make that
commitment to yourself.
"No,
not me, no, don't be silly, I'm just fine, I'm not depressed or anxious or
don't have an eating disorder or have severe health problems due to stress."
Is
it time to put your ego to one side and stop denying
that you are
suffering depression, feeling anxious, or stressing out of your brain? Or have
an eating disorder, or use too much dope or alcohol?
Or
suffer OCD?
Many
people wear a mask - to work, at home, socially. They are so used to
presenting this other face to the world, that change feels scary. That's where a
confidential course of treatment with a psychologist at Live Life 2 the Max! can
really help.
You
can change your reality for the better when you know how to do so, and
have easy tools from the fields of psychology, NLP, Timeline or Hypnosis, to
maintain that change.
That's
right, you cannot change the past, but you can change how you think about it
which changes how you feel now, and how you can feel in the future. Plus,
it can change what you do with your life in the future...
NLP,
Timeline, Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy
NLPers
(short for Neuro Linguistic Programming - it's about language, perception and how your body
reacts) and Psychologists are able to help you to identify emotional sticking
points that fill your emotional bags, and then help you to lose them!
Then, you are
free to re-energise and lighten up with self-confidence, assertiveness and
self-esteem to charge ahead!
Clients
from many and various settings (business owners, managers, retail outlets, the sporting
arena, married,
single or separated or divorced, male or female, gay or lesbian), have sought
psychological/counselling, relationship counselling, or coaching help from Narelle who is a registered psychologist, and turned their life around, with:
-
Practical
CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - manage those thoughts that drive you
mad),
-
Psychotherapy
(role plays, metaphors, working with those parts of you that are in
conflict)
-
Timeline
techniques that are cognitively based and used for letting go of anger, fear, hurt and rejection, sadness and
guilt (all the biggies that can just eat away at you.)
-
Stress
reducing processes that take as long as 10 minutes a day - 10 minutes, is
that all? Yes!
-
Life
and business coaching can give you direction, focus, motivation, support and
the occasional kick from behind!
How
Many Psychology Sessions are Needed?
It's
a bit like saying, how long is a piece of string? The
number of sessions usually depends on how complicated your symptoms are, how
long you have had them for, what you think therapy entails, how long you think
it will take to get well, and so on. In
general, most clients will have around 6 sessions, but this can extend to 12 or
more, if you have a complex history with overlapping issues. For
example, if you have had a lifelong depression or anxiety disorder, you may need
more sessions. If you have a drug and/or alcohol addiction and depression,
or in combination with an eating disorder, you may need more sessions. Many
clients are surprised to learn that because the Timeline Techniques are quite
fast, they spend a lot less time talking about their issues than they expect
to. Many clients have been delighted to get results sooner rather than
spend a year or more in therapy.

What
happens before you see your Psychologist?
1.
Pre-meeting client preparation
Simply
call to book in at a time to suit you, or use the booking
request form (times are a guide and may not always be
available). Evening appointments are
available and then you will be emailed a link
to two easy questionnaires and a DASS42 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Survey).
When
you complete the questionnaires your answers are submitted directly back to your
psychologist, and this helps in two
ways.
It gives lots of your background information so that saves time
during your first session, plus, you are asked to complete a Depression, Anxiety
and Stress Survey (DASS) which
establishes your baseline measures. Completing these questionnaires means that
we can be properly prepared for our chat together.
2.
When happens next when you see your Psychologist and Master Practitioner NLP, Timeline and
Hypnosis?
In
the first chat with your psychologist your information will be reviewed, and we
will also cover confidentiality, the likely number of sessions, and the type of
therapy / treatment you can expect.
You'll
also leave with some cognitive tools to reduce stress, so that you can practise
these and get started straight away on the path to wellness.
You'll
also receive
one of the following CDs:
Relax Now | Easy Weight Loss | Non-Smoker | Sleep
Like a Baby Tonight
All
the CDs are valued at $25! and are complimentary to you at your first appointment.
There are no strings attached, it is yours to keep.
In
follow-up sessions, usually 1 week apart, you will then begin to work on letting
go of those old bags of emotion, such as hurt and rejection, sadness, anger,
fear and guilt.
These emotions, or similar ones, often underlie our
psychological distress. Perhaps you've been traumatised, and this will
also be cleared, simply and easily.
If you want to, you can also let go of limiting
decisions such as smoking, weight gain, passive-aggressive behaviour and many
other issues.
3.
Following your counselling / psychology appointment
In
one of your sessions, you'll be introduced to Principles of Consciousness
which includes material on your Higher Self, Your Conscious Self and your
Subconscious or Inner Child.
The reason for this is that most people do not understand
fully what's going on and why they have become the way they are.
Sometimes
people do know what has caused a problem, yet at the same time are helpless to
change their behaviour or their thoughts. That's where someone like
Narelle Stratford psychologist steps in.
If you keep doing the same things in the same way, it is
not possible for you to change yourself and keep that change. You need to
do something different and that you've probably not done before.
If
you have ever tried to make a change consciously, you will know how hard and
exhausting that can be. Change has to occur at the Subconscious or Inner
Child level and then it can occur quickly and easily.
If
you don't believe me, try clasping your hands so that your fingers are
interlocked.... Now, unclasp them and clasp them together so that
non-dominant hand is now on top.
I'm
right handed so when I do this, my right thumb is always on top. But when
I want to have my left thumb on top, I have to think about it, and think about
it, and think about it, and every time I try to do it it is still hard and
sometimes my fingers get tangled up! If I did it twenty times in a row,
then it would become easier, only that seems like hard work!
Through
understanding yourself and by extension, others, you'll find it easy to
be comfortable with yourself and you'll have the tools for immediate use to work
with yourself when you learn and understand Principles of Consciousness.
You'll also receive information by email on Principles of Consciousness and your wonderful
subconscious mind (often called the inner child), meditation, Cognitive Behavioural Psychology
(CBT), stress
management, emotional management techniques and lots more.
Plus,
you
will receive motivational emails that help you to prepare for the next chat
and you'll have loads of information and education to help you between visits.
4.
Paying for your counselling or psych session
Your account
is to be settled at the time of the appointment by Eftpos, Health Fund +
Gap payment or Credit Card.
Medicare
Rebates? Psychology and Health Fund Rebates?
Narelle
is a registered psychologist (since 1997) with a Provider Number for Medicare
rebates and Health Fund rebates, and is an Associate Member of the
Australian Psychological Society.
If you wish to be referred under the Mental Health Shared Care
Plan, please
book in with your GP for a long appointment so that your GP can assess
you. As
long as you meet the criteria, your GP will then make the referral to
your preferred psychologist.
I
have a referral from my GP, what happens next?
If
you have a referral from your GP under the 2710 Mental Health Shared Care Plan,
then you will bring your referral with you to your appointment.
At your Psychology
appointment when you pay
your account, your receipt will include the Doctor's full name, Provider
Number, and Date of Referral, so please ensure that you have this information
with you or that you have provided it in your completed online questionnaires.
When
you have paid the account for your psychology session, you take your receipt to
Medicare where you will be refunded approximately $80 for a 50+ minutes session.
You
don't need a referral to see your psychologist.
If you have health
fund cover and do not wish to go through your GP and a referral, simply bring
your HF card with you and it will be swiped at the time of payment. You can then
pay the difference between what the health fund has paid and your account, by
credit card, eftpos or cash.
You
cannot claim on Medicare and your Health Fund. It is an either/or deal.
