Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Therapists explore with the client the intense pain of loneliness, isolation and overwhelming experiences that lead to suicidal thoughts and impulses. They help clients to develop a prevention plan, identify triggers, develop more effective coping and identify automatic negative thoughts that lead to a sense of helplessness and powerlessness. The aim of therapy is to break the cycle of negative states through effective change and soothing strategies and to encourage clients' help-seeking behaviours
Counsellor/Therapist, Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy
I have completed Applied Suicide Intervention Training and Gateway. Sometimes life is so hard, the pain is unbearable that the thought of leaving it all behind seems like the best option. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and when you are at your darkest point you are halfway
through.
Kate works with suicidal clients, understanding that the subject is complex, requiring continual conversations, as she works together with the client to explore the suicidal thoughts and everything that extends from them.
I have lived experience of depression and suicidal ideation. I have worked with a number of people experiencing suicidal ideation and spoken out about healthcare provider suicide. I aim to help you get on top of the thoughts you might be having as well as their causes.
