Positive Moods is providing a range of mental health services and support to the population who needs it.

We categorise our services into two categories: therapeutic support and behaviour support.

Benefits of Seeing a NDIS Psychologist in Newcastle
Psychologists are highly trained mental health professionals who put emphasis on giving their clients a healthier and more balanced life through evidence-based techniques. These techniques are administered by psychologists to their clients in a variety of different methods and depending on the type of treatment the client is getting.
Like counselling, seeing a psychologist is beneficial for the majority of people, especially those suffering from mental illnesses, learning disabilities, or significant life struggles. A psychologist can listen to a client’s problems and worries with an unbiased and objective ear in a safe and confidential environment allowing their clients to open up without the fear of judgement.
Psychologists are trained to address their client’s mental health challenges and help them learn different techniques and coping mechanisms to live life as normally as possible. People with mental illnesses or learning disabilities can especially find a psychologist’s input valuable for the tools and coping techniques they can receive to deal with their struggles.
Psychologists work with their clients to bring much-needed perspective in their situation, self-awareness to identify the different needs and progress they are taking in their life and establish goals that the client and the psychologist in a collaborative effort will strive to achieve.
If successfully and consistently delivered, the techniques and coping mechanisms that the psychologists administered to their clients can significantly improve their mental health and overall wellbeing. Learning to balance the stress or anxiety a person feels also plays a major factor in improved physical health as well. These two plays hand in hand with each other, and people with disabilities can also benefit greatly from seeing a psychologist to achieve an overall balanced life through the different means discussed above.
Should You Consult a Positive Moods Mental Health Practitioner?
It is an important question to ask oneself if they are in need of a mental health professional like a psychologist to consult with. Again, the majority of the population will see benefits when they consult with a psychologist even when they aren’t facing any significant event in their lives.
But it is generally recommended to see a mental health professional if a person’s facing mental health challenges or emotional struggles for some time in their life, especially if these struggles or the situation they are in are hindering them from living their lives normally. People facing depression, anxiety, stress, and other issues that are hard to get through alone can hugely benefit from seeing a psychologist.
Positive Moods welcomes clients with open arms to provide its mental health services with the help of its NDIS registered psychologists and counsellors. People with disabilities can apply to the NDIS at the Newcastle NDIA office to get funding for the necessary services, resources, and support they require to cope with their disabilities and live life as normally as possible. We also have a NDIS counselling service
