Treatment Approach
It is important you feel autonomous and informed when managing your mental health. Together with Ashlea, you will co-design a therapy approach most effective for your preferences, personal situation and goals.
Research suggests that a positive therapy outcome is less determined by the specific treatment (as long as it is evidence-based) and more dependent on 1) the therapist - client relationship quality (trust, safety, compassion) and 2) you! (your belief that therapy will be helpful, your readiness for change, your commitment to the process and all the wonderful factors that make you unique).
Ashlea is trained in several evidence-based psychological treatments approved under various Medicare schemes. These include:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT/CBT-E*)
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (The Conversational Model)
Schema Therapy
Family Based Treatment (FBT)*
Focal Psychodynamic Therapy*
MANTRA*
SSCM*
*approved treatments under the Eating Disorder Treatment Plan
