Psychological services
Support to help and empower you to reach your full potential and work through the concerns stopping you from enjoying a happy and healthy life.
Your thoughts and feelings matter
We provide a range of assessments that help direct possible future treatment and access to other health services.
Our registered psychologists use a variety of evidence-based approaches to access underlying issues, including:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT)
- Rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT)
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR)
This includes IQ assessments, ASD and ADHD assessments, neuropsychological assessments and more.
Our services
You may be referred to APM from ACC or your healthcare provider.
You can also approach our local teams directly if you need help to improve your thoughts, feelings, and general wellbeing.
Many people feel anxious or apprehensive about their first meeting with a psychologist
Psychologists are trained to be empathic and respectful of your feelings about coming to therapy.
The first meeting with a psychologist is usually an opportunity for you to talk about what has brought you to them.
They may ask you some questions to get a better picture of what is happening in your life and establish your goals for the therapy or assessment process.
This meeting is an opportunity for you to ask questions and ensures you have sufficient information to make a decision moving forward.
Toward the end of the initial meeting, the psychologist will usually discuss their evaluation of your situation and their recommendations.
These recommendations may include further individual therapy, therapy for families or couples, further assessment, or appropriate referrals to other professionals.
Our approach
Here at APM we live our values everyday, with one another, and with our clients.
Our approach is grounded in providing quality psychological services with integrity, respect, and empowering you as a person.
We'll manage your concerns with empathy and compassion.
We specialise in using evidence-based approaches attuned to your unique needs to support and help you achieve the outcomes you are looking for.
An evidence-based approach is a process where your therapist combines well-researched therapies and treatments with their clinical experience to provide the most suitable service for you.
These approaches can include cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, rational emotive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy.
Short and long-term talking therapy and assessments
As part of a wholistic approach, APM's team can also support you with health concerns and recovery needs.
We offer employment assistance, physiotherapy, vocational rehabilitation, pain management services, and community-based services for people who have sustained an injury or have a disability or illness.
Please note, some of our services are location dependant.
