Colin Longworth - HPCCH Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Psychology & Counselling Services (He/Him)

I am a registered psychologist who also provides services under Medicare and also provides Clinical Hypnotherapy services, as well as offering online bookings 24/7 via the HealthEngine links on my main website as well as the HealthEngine website. Clients come to see me (both during normal office hours, as well as "Out of Hours") in relation to a number of presenting issues. In addition to Gay Lesbian and Bisexual issues (discrimination, issues around self-esteem, less than equal treatment, amongst others) I also deal with depression, anxiety, stress, difficult workplace experiences, relationship issues, self esteem, and grief among other concerns. Basically, I deal with most issues that "come through the doors". Although there are some matters, I don't deal with, they are listed on my main website. Some clients like the idea that (combined with my psychology, counselling and clinical hypnotherapy training and experience) I have a combination of life experience (being a "baby boomer") as well as workplace experience in both blue-collar and office (or white-collar) jobs. Also in the psychology setting, I have co-facilitated a Domestic Violence group (for mandated participants) as well as co-facilitating a drug and alcohol program in a prison farm setting. In addition, I got flown to a FIFO mine-site, some years ago, to see how staff were coping after an accidental death on-site. While LGB clients are a significant but not a major area of my client base, it is an area of practice that I have experience in, (what I see as an area of expertise for me) as well as an area I would like to expand on. So overall a combination of life experience, (including as a gay man) tertiary training in psychology, counselling, as well as training in Clinical Hypnotherapy, in a setting where telehealth and after-hours consultations are available. Along with Medicare rebates, (with a GP referral).
