Separated Families / Family Court Proceedings
Seasons Psychology provides support to those going through the Family Court process, as this can be a highly stressful time for everyone involved. Services provided are underpinned by 'what is in the child/s best interest'. Whether court ordered or individually sought, sessions can help increase understanding, alleviate stress, and provide opportunity to learn new skills and ways of coping, in effect making the process easier to manage, and less impactful on children.
Court Ordered Treatment: At times the Court will order a parent or both parent's to engage in psychological treatment as part of the process. Clients have found psychological sessions helpful in understanding the complexity of Family Law proceedings, and are able to meet any requirements of the court. It is helpful having a practitioner with understanding of psychology and law to support parent's through this process.
Mental Health
Forensic Treatment
We provide treatment and support to those going through the legal system, whether that be for Criminal Court matters, Immigration, Department of Child Safety, WorkCover or Civil matters. At times, legal representatives will recommend you engage in a set of treatment sessions to support your case. Treatment progress reports are provided and can be used in submission to help mitigate your case.
Individual Therapy
Individual sessions aim to hold a safe space for client's to gain insight and awareness about themselves and any mental health concerns they are experiencing. With this support client's can integrate these new insights, which in effect, helps re-condition old beliefs/attitudes/perceptions that are no longer working for them. Therapy can be helpful for individuals to learn new ways of coping with mental health symptoms and life stressors, which can enhance life satisfaction.
Relationships
Couples counselling can help client's better understand themselves, their partner, and where they may be experiencing misalignment in their relationship. By increasing insight and awareness about attachment styles, past experiences, misperceptions, and how we sometimes connect to each other differently, couples are better able to heal and reconnect.
Parents / Children
Parenting support can help increase a parent's capacity to connect with their child/children. Sessions aim to provide further understanding of the developmental stages, develop ways to better communicate with children, and bring awareness to the parent's own childhood experiences and how this may indirectly or directly influence the dynamic.
