Jason Beard
BA, GDAP, M Couns Psych
As a Psychologist, I am caring, curious and results-focused. I have Masters level qualifications (since 2002) and experience in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches utilising evidence-based methods. I have worked with a diverse range of clients in both the private and public sectors including hands-on consulting in the corporate world.
I believe that therapy is not just about insight; it’s what we do with that insight that matters.
The foundation of all effective psychotherapy is a good working relationship between the client and therapist - based on empathy, warmth, and positive regard. I balance the evidence-based science of psychology with the art of counselling by listening attentively to understand you, your situation, thoughts, and feelings.
Our initial discussions enable me to decide which strategies may be best to help you achieve positive change. We will work together toward your goals and as you progress, I will make sure that you are happy with the therapy.
Together we can help to solve a personal problem, feel better and improve your relationships; to lead you to a more enjoyable, rewarding and productive life.
Of course, sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who understands. Simply attending a general counselling session is available. I have training and experience in:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Self Psychology
and Systemic Family Therapy
Each approach used is important, however, research indicates the most critical factor in therapy is how well you work with your particular therapist. I am here to help you.
