A Resource for Self awareness and Social responsibility
Good Therapy Australia is a registered health education 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. |

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, psychotherapists, and registered psychologists in your area. We recommend reading Find a Therapist Search Tips before you begin. |

Patrick Burnett is a Jungian Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst on the north coast of New South Wales. He has a private practice in Bangalow. "As a Jungian Psychotherapist, I believe that the human mind is able to heal itself and bring itself back into balance when given the right circumstances. People come to me for many different reasons. They may have relationship problems, be emotionally distressed, traumatised, depressed, confused or have low self esteem. Others may have no particular problem but feel that their life lacks meaning, depth or connection to others."

Whisper of the Heart
|

Whisper of the Heart (1995) This delightful movie, by Japanese director Miyazaki, reminded me so much of my childhood - and a little of Robert Johnson's Golden World, described so beautifully in his book Balancing Heaven and Earth. The library, a most sacred space. The love of music and writing songs. The burning desire to create and to master, to become more aware. The longing to meet a kindred spirit. Mystery teasing, ever so gently. The sun rising, emanating across the early morning mist. It was a struggle to catch all the English subtitles (I'm a slow reader.) Still I enjoyed the story immensely, intuitively filling in any gaps. There are few movies I care to watch more than once. This is definitely one of them. tell us about a film that moved you |

 Question |
|
|
A few months ago I went to see a psychologist and was surprised to find that he works in the front room of his home. There were no indications of family members close by so it didn't deter me from going back. I'm curious as to whether this is traditionally how it's been and working from an office building is a relatively new custom. answer |
