	Dr Areana Eivers	Gender Female

	Psychologist	ABN 67 420 959 340



	Sometimes in life we get stuck or come to realise that our lives, our relationships with others or our ways of dealing with these are not going in the direction that we would like them to. I see my role as helping and supporting people including adults, children, young people and families, to access and strengthen their own values, insights and resources so that they can move through these ‘stuck points’ and towards more satisfying lives and relationships.

Service Notes

Service Quality Provision

I offer individual and family therapy to clients of all ages. I am particularly passionate about working with children and young people – helping them to find and express their own unique voice using play, symbol work and art. Work with adults may also invite expression using methods other than talking. Most important is making my clients feel comfortable and supported regardless of therapeutic ‘method’. Professional supervision also offered, including supervision for provisional psychologists.

I am committed to providing high quality psychological service and as a registered psychologist I am accountable to the Australian Psychological Society’s Code of Ethics regarding my practice and conduct. I engage regularly in professional training and development to keep my skills current and relevant and I receive ongoing clinical supervision.

Experience

Orientation

Worked for many years in health and community settings, e.g. child and youth mental health, child and family counselling, domestic violence counselling and support. Experience working with issues including trauma and abuse, separation and divorce, relationship difficulties , anxiety, depression, and developmental issues. Currently a lecturer in psychology at QUT. Have also travelled and lived overseas, giving insight into challenges of adjusting to new places, or fitting back into ‘old ones’.

My original training was in CBT and this still informs my practice. However, I now tend to draw more heavily upon narrative therapy, solution-focussed approaches, ACT and Expressive Therapies in my work with clients. My main goal throughout is to work from a client-centred, strengths-based perspective.
