ABOUT US
Brisbane-based Psychology Consultants is a group of clinical psychologists providing practical skills for people to deal with emotional and behavioural problems such as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems that affect their daily lives. Psychology Consultants has experienced male and female clinical psychologists and psychologists working from professional offices on Brisbane's northside at Newmarket and southside at Morningside.
Our psychologists use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy and the latest Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to achieve the best outcome for children, adolescents, men, women, couples, families, senior citizens, and corporate groups. All psychologists are approved by Medicare and private health insurers. - A WORKSHOP FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS - ENGAGEMENT, COMMITMENT, ALLIANCE, OUTCOME: MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI) & FEEDBACK INFORMED TREATMENT (FIT)TO ENHANCE CLINICIAN EFFECTIVENESS Finally the health industry embraces the client-focused way of the business industry by asking clients and patients for feedback in a new approach called Feedback Improved Treatment (FIT). Across the health disciplines, client engagement is a fundamental challenge and responsibility of the clinician. Our first session or two are crucial in engaging people, and there are approaches that can help. Client-centered approaches such as Motivatonal Interviewing (MI) & Feedback Improved Treatment (FIT) have an enormous contribution to make in the early stages of treatment. Such approaches significantly increase the chance that clients will engage with, and adhere to, treatment and also significantly reduces the chance of a client dropping off. Dr Stan Steindl is holding a workshop at The State Library in Brisbane over five days commencing on Monday 27th February 2012 to teach the FIT and MI approach to doctors, nurses, psychologists and other health professionals who want to improve their effectiveness and treatment outcomes for their clients and patients. The workshop is only $1,400 + GST per person, or if registering before 1 January 2012 an earlybird discount applies of 10% reducing the cost to $1,260 + GST. Numbers are limited to 35 people so book your place now. This workshop is endorsed for professional development points by Australian Psychology Society (APS) and Australian Nursing Federation (ANF).
