Humans are both blessed and cursed by our highly evolved brain.

Our brain allows us to communicate with words and symbols, solve complex problems, advance our understanding of the world, create artistic masterpieces, perform wondrous physical feats, and feel close to those we love.

The same highly evolved brain structures can create internal worlds of intolerable pain and suffering, invite wars and genocide, and destroy relationships with those we most love.

We can easily lose sight of what is real versus what is imagined therefore we can act ‘irrationally’ on the basis of misleading thoughts and amplified emotions.

Psychological therapy provides a range of tools and techniques that can soothe a distressed brain, create clearer thinking, restore emotional well-being and promote helpful and productive actions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely supported approach within the field of psychology and is therefore the treatment of choice at Northfields Clinic.

This Clinic was established in 1981 as part of the School of Psychology at the University of Wollongong.

They provide a range of evidence-based CBT treatments for common sources of psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, behavioural problems, grief and trauma.

Northfields Clinic therapists are undertaking postgraduate studies in clinical psychology while working at the Clinic, and are therefore equipped with the latest tools and techniques.

Northfields offers high-quality, affordable services to adults, young people and children within a safe and supportive environment.

They are able to provide treatments that work for a brain that sometimes doesn’t.
