Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

(CBT)

Rewire your brain to find freedom from unhelpful thought patterns.

How Cognitive Behaviour Therapy works

CBT is a type of talk therapy which recognises that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are interconnected - basically, what we think influences how we feel, and how we feel influences how we act.

CBT is an approach to counselling that helps us to understand any patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be holding you back, and to equip you with practical tools to create positive change.

In CBT sessions, we will work with you to identify and kindly but firmly challenge any negative thought patterns, We may also explore how past experiences are impacting your life today.

As part of CBT at Lotus Haven, we usually provide worksheets to support you to integrate the skills learned in session, and continue your healing work between our sessions.

We love witnessing our clients reclaim control of their thoughts through CBT.

CBT is a useful therapy for a range of psychological and emotional experiences, including:

Anxiety

Depression

Low self-esteem

Insomnia

Relationship challenges

Coping with stress

Managing difficult emotions

Trauma

And more

After your first 3 sessions with Lotus Haven, you will have the option to access our signature 6-week program.

This program offers you a serene and holistic healing experience, where Reiki and Counselling sessions are alternated each visit.  

To make sure that this is the right fit for you, we only offer this package after 3 sessions together, and we will always be honest if we feel like it’s not the right fit. In this situation, we have wonderful practitioner connections who we can refer you to.

 FAQs

  • Not at all. Just get in touch or head to the booking form and we'll help you set up an appointment time with the best therapist for you. This ensures you are quickly booked in and we respond to you within 48 business hours. Private direct bookings also ensure the utmost confidentiality, as no GP’s or other referrers get involved or require reports or summary letters.

  • No, only psychologists and some social workers can provide Medicare rebates under Mental Health Care Plans (MHCPs).

    However, working with a private counsellor means your sessions are strictly confidential, no summary letters need to be sent to your GP and no mental health diagnoses are required or reported on your medical history which is involved in the MHCPs.

    Currently in Australia, couples counselling is not covered under MHCPs, so all couples counselling is privately accessed in Australia.

  • We hope to be able to provide private health insurance rebates in the near future.
