Reclaim Psychology - Jane Armstrong Psychologist I am a registered Psychologist and practice in the Northern and Eastern Adelaide Hills. WHAT IS HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY? WHAT IS COUNSELLING? WHY SEE A PSYCHOLOGIST?

ABOUT ME

I am a registered nurse with 25+ years' experience in varied areas of nursing. I therefore have a good understanding of how physical illnesses can affect our mental health. My previous work has provided me with a fitting background in which to train as a Health Psychologist. Health Psychologists understand how psychological and behavioural factors interact with the physical systems of t

he body and social factors to influence health. As a registered nurse, I have a solid understanding about medical conditions and their treatments and the impact this can have on peoples' mental health. Counselling can be a process that helps people to cope with circumstances in their lives that are contributing to or directly causing unhappiness or stress. I CAN ASSIST PEOPLE WITH:

- Psychological assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Individualised interventions that assist people to cope with and recover from illness, management of physical symptoms and coping with stressful medical procedures.
- Work with clients to develop education and behaviour change programs to help them to adjust to and manage trauma, injury or disability.
- Counselling to help people cope with the impact of a medical diagnosis and the emotional and lifestyle changes that may result.
- Treatment plans that help to reduce problems that accompany or contribute to illness or injury - chronic pain, addiction, poor sleep, eating problems, reactive anxiety and depression, anger and grief. I offer private psychology services for the following concerns:
- Stress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Self Esteem issues
- Relationship Problems
- Parenting concerns
- Chronic Pain
- WorkCover
- Weight Management
- Coping with Chronic Illness

For more information on these concerns and more, please contact me to make an appointment. In order to be eligible for registration as a psychologist in Australia, you must complete a minimum of six years training. Psychologists are specialists in human behaviour, development and functioning. We have expertise in applying evidence-based research findings to assist people to reduce stress, address behaviour problems and psychological distress, and to promote mental well-being. We are trained to use a wide variety of techniques and therapeutic approaches. These will vary and are tailored to meet the personal needs of the client. Psychology consultations can be partially covered by Medicare under the Better Health Initiative if requested by a General Practitioner. Clients are entitled to up to 10 sessions per calendar year under this initiative. Many other counselling services will not attract these rebates due to the rigorous training and practice standards required of psychologists. Private Health insurers may also cover some of the cost. It is recommended that you seek a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP in order to qualify for Medicare rebates. Psychologists must be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and this ensures a high level of professional competency.

​They both had childhood dogs named Toy. They both married women named Linda, got divorced, then remarried women named Betty. And that's not even where the uncanny similarities end.

This looks very like something as psychologists we would suggest. For all of you insomniacs - give it a go!

Interesting article about antidepressants. Possibly the worst thing about over-prescription of such medications implies that your problem will be "fixed" by taking this pill. Many people will therefore not seek psychological therapy which can address stressful life events that have been shown to be far more strongly linked to depression and anxiety. Hardly surprising really!https://theconversation.com/depression-is-probably-not-caused-by-a-chemical-imbalance-in-the-brain-new-study-186672?fbclid=IwAR2UVD2QP3F0OJqGDRGrbaeUSNh8xqL9JLskbIH3E5HpAdbA-o-pL8kyN6g

A new shows there’s no clear evidence that depression is caused by abnormally low levels of serotonin in the brain.

A.D.H.D - Attention Dialled at a Higher Dimension
Take my hand and come with me,
I want to teach you about ADHD.
I need you to know, I want to explain,
I have a very different brain.
Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide.
What to do first? I can't decide.
Please understand I'm not to blame,
I just can't process things the same.
Take my hand and walk with me,
Let me show you about ADHD.
I try to behave, I want to be good,
But I sometimes forget to do as I should.
Walk with me and wear my shoes,
You'll see its not the way I'd choose.
I do know what I'm supposed to do,
But my brain is slow getting the message through.
Take my hand and talk with me,
I want to tell you about ADHD.
I rarely think before I talk,
I often run when I should walk.
It's hard to get my school work done,
My thoughts are outside having fun.
I never know just where to start,
I think with my feelings and see with my heart.
Take my hand and stand by me,
I need you to know about ADHD.
It's hard to explain but I want you to know,
I can't help letting my feelings show.
Sometimes I'm angry, jealous, or sad.
I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.
I can't concentrate and I lose all my stuff.
I try really hard but it's never enough.
Take my hand and learn with me,
We need to know more about ADHD.
I worry a lot about getting things wrong,
Everything I do takes twice as long.
Everyday is exhausting for me...
Looking through the fog of ADHD.
I'm often so misunderstood,
I would change in a heartbeat if I could.
Take my hand and listen to me,
I want to share a secret about ADHD.
I want you to know there is more to me.
I'm not defined by it, you see.
I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun.
I'm blamed for things I haven't done.
I'm the most loyal friend you'll ever know,
I just need a chance to let it show.
Take my hand and look at me,
Just forget about the ADHD.
I have real feelings just like you.
The love in my heart is just as true.
I may have a brain that can never rest,
But please understand I'm trying my best.
I want you to know, I need you to see,
I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!!
