Psychology

Psychology is the study of the mind, behaviour and emotion. Research in psychology is based on scientific method (testing the null hypothesis). Psychology encompasses a wide range of topics, including cognition, learning, motivation, perception, development, personality, and mental health. It also studies how people think and behave individually and in groups.

Counselling

Brendan Lloyd provides professional counselling to help address stress, anxiety, depression, and personal challenges. Face-to-face appointments are available in Byron Bay, along with telehealth options across Australia. No referral is required, though GP referrals for Medicare rebates are welcome.

Eye Movement Desensitisation

Eye movement desensitisation builds on a rich tradition of exposure-based therapies in psychology, tracing back to the early 1900s. These therapies have long been effective in helping individuals confront and reduce the impact of phobias, distressing memories and mental imagery. As one of the newer advancements in exposure treatments, eye movement desensitisation offers a simple and efficient approach to processing unresolved experiences. Compared to traditional methods, modern exposure techniques (including eye movement desensitisation) are designed to be more accessible and time-efficient.
