bulletWelcome to Good Therapy Australia

   
self awareness social responsibility

A Resource for Self awareness and Social responsibility
Good Therapy Australia is a registered health promotion charity, dedicated to making good therapy more accessible, enabling Australians to find the best possible support for awakening awareness, creativity and responsibility. We believe our attitudes and actions as individuals foreshadow the health and wellbeing of our communities - locally and globally - and that limiting one's world to one's self has never been a sustainable option. Paradoxically, taking responsibility for one's self is the most profound and effective way of making a positive contribution.


 

bulletFind a Therapist
   
find a therapist Good Therapy provides a place for Australians to learn about therapy, explore what good therapy means for them personally, and make connections with the people in their community who practice therapy. Search Good Therapy's Directory to find mental health professionals in Australia: select Advanced Search options to find therapists who match special criteria, or browse profiles of accredited counsellors and psychotherapists, registered psychologists and psychiatrists in your area. We recommend reading Find a Therapist Search Tips before you begin.

bulletResearch

 

 

character bowl You are invited to participate in three surveys that Good Therapy is conducting: "Looking for a Therapist" explores the factors that influence a good match between therapist and client; "The Therapeutic Space" survey was designed to help raise awareness of how people are affected by their environment: When seeing a Therapist, how important is the physical space in which you meet? In "Personality and Philosophy" we take a closer look at the questions you would like to ask a therapist before making an appointment.. participate now   
   

bulletChildren of the Silk Road
   

Scenes from this film continue to haunt me almost a month after seeing it. Especially images of the children's faces. The actors were all great and the cinematography incredibly beautiful but what will stay with me is the knowledge that this was a true story, about the life and death of a very decent human being. We can all be inspired and humbled by people like George Hogg who sacrificed so much... someone in their twenties still has a life to live. It makes me wonder why I do what I do rather than what I want to do. Maybe I'm just plain scared. Or lazy. I hope eventually I get past myself to make a difference... even just to care would be something. - Sarah T.  tell us about a film that moved you

A big thank you to everyone who came to Good Therapy's Weekend Retreat. We had a lovely time
getting to know one another and are now looking forward to the next meeting. A special thanks to
Steve Armstrong for his Writing Workshops ... to John Hughes, Darren Hayhurst, Melissa Cowan
and Bridget Ninness. Also to Anna and Micky who travelled all the way from Lismore to join us.



Rain over the hills

The deep the deepest dark
                          is soft;
a thousand thousand hearts
                          in here.
In this brightest, this lightest
                          dark,
this ring of rain we sing
                          so softly
its ours again: the beat
                          of our tears.   

Steve Armstrong, May 2009

For all at the GT Noonaweena weekend

bulletQuestion

forum image

Can you educate me on the purpose of the initial consultation? The psychologists I’ve seen, used the hour to get background information, and tell me what to expect in the following sessions. I thought the first meeting would be an opportunity for us to get to know each other - to see how we felt about working together - but the impression I get is that by just turning up, I have already made a firm commitment. answer
