Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
Depression often shows up physically just as much as emotionally. I treat depression by treating you as a whole person, both physically, emotionally and mentally. I have additional training in Embodiment Counselling alongside my psychology qualifications which helps me apply advanced somatic psychology techniques that helps you to increase your awareness and understanding of your physiological state and the feedback loops that are created with your mind. I work with you to understand the drivers of your depression and identify strategies and solutions that create meaningful change.

Renee McDonald
Therapist, B Couns (Coaching), Grad Dip Couns, M App Soc Sc, Cert IV TAE, Cert IV BE (Community)
Depression itself can be quite pervasive and hard to shift. Through working through your problems gently, with either gentle counselling, or ongoing psychotherapy, most depressive symptoms can shift. I've found great change can happen through the power of listening to your concerns and working through new ways of being with the gentle hand holding of counselling or psychotherapy.

Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel heavy.

Depression
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
There are genuine reasons why we feel depressed or taken over by a low mood or despairing mindset. Some of those could be from how we were shaped by our environment in early childhood, some of them could be factors at play today. Depression can sometimes be representative of unprocessed grief, and sometimes it can be a learnt physiological state originating from a very young age.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with you to understand what those reasons are, and how we can transform them into new ways of being. This means collaborating with you in creating a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
As an experience of low energy or 'hypoarousal', depression can sometimes be linked to our attachment years. So the work might involve deep visualisations to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy). The work might involve tracking beliefs and experiences that have led you to distance yourself from social life or particular people or places and protect yourself through a depressive response.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
