  • Our approach

    Therapy at Aperture Psychology uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's individual needs. Sessions draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches to address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, perfectionism, phobias, sleep difficulties, anger, and emotional regulation challenges. The initial assessment typically takes two sessions to build a clear understanding of your situation and create a personalised treatment plan. Therapy sessions usually start weekly for 50 minutes and can transition to fortnightly or monthly as you progress, with most clients seeing measurable improvement within 6 to 10 sessions. Throughout treatment, progress is tracked using standardised questionnaires and clinical assessment, and after active treatment ends, the team continues supporting you by connecting with relevant people in your life to help prevent setbacks.

  • Your first visit

    The initial assessment is usually carried out over two sessions. In your first session, you'll have a clearer sense of the problem and a preliminary view of the steps ahead. The second session focuses on refining understanding through a comprehensive formulation as factors contributing to your challenges are explored. Based on the outcomes of your assessment, a tailored treatment plan is created to address your specific needs. Before your first appointment, the friendly reception team will call you for a short 5–10 minute chat to gather details and help match you with the right psychologist.
