Newcastle
West, NSW – For those in New South Wales seeking
a sense of balance and well-being in an increasingly hectic life, ELD
Psychology can help provide evidence-based treatment for their mental health
concerns.
ELD Psychology provides clinical psychology services and therapy to
adults in the Newcastle, Lake
Macquarie and Hunter areas.
Their team is experienced in delivering therapies for a
range of presentations, including stress, anxiety, low mood and depression,
eating disorders, OCD, and post-traumatic stress.
ELD Psychology Newcastle also assists individuals with psychological concerns from social
anxiety, panic attacks, perfectionism and sleeping difficulties to
procrastination, relationship issues, goal- setting and problem-solving.
Utilizing evidence-based treatments, they help individuals
identify and address difficulties they are facing and obtain a sense of
balance. “We take a warm and caring approach, by listening to a person’s story
and working with them to provide strategies and skills to overcome challenges,”
commented business owner Dr Emma Doolan.
Their approach draws on treatment modalities, including
cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), schema therapy, acceptance, and commitment
therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused therapy.
Each session is for approximately 50 minutes, except for
the first consultation which may take up to 1 hour. The initial assessment aims
to gain an understanding of a person’s difficulties or concerns and to develop
a shared understanding of their goals and expectations.
“We aim to do this in a collaborative manner and at a pace
that is comfortable,” she added. Their experienced therapists take a warm and
non-judgemental approach to help their clients feel at ease. After the initial
session, treatment options can be discussed, including therapeutic approach and
frequency of ongoing sessions.
Emma is a clinical psychologist with a warm and flexible
approach that aims to work collaboratively with her clients to help them
identify, understand, and overcome the challenges they are facing.
She has experience working with individuals presenting
with a range of difficulties and concerns. Her approach focuses on providing
evidence-based treatments, primarily within a cognitive behavioural therapy
(CBT) framework, while also drawing on other modalities such as schema therapy,
acceptance, commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused therapy.
Emma holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical
Psychology, Master of Clinical Psychology, and Bachelor of Psychological
Science (Honours) from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. She has
