SOCIAL WORK SERVICES | ACCREDITED MENTAL HEALTH SOCIAL WORKER

Discover professional and compassionate social work services at Temple Counselling. Our founder, JT, is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) providing support to individuals, couples, and groups. Sessions can be conducted in person at West End, Brisbane, or through our unique Ecotherapy (read more about Ecotherapy here) outdoor sessions. We also offer flexible options for clients located anywhere in Australia or internationally, including phone, video, and telehealth sessions.

As an AMHSW, JT specializes in clinical social work, which focuses on assessing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental illnesses, emotional dysregulation, attachment issues, and behavioral disturbances. With expertise in individual, group, and family therapy, JT utilizes evidence-based treatments to address a range of concerns, including mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress.

As a registered provider under Medicare, our AMHSW services are eligible for rebates under Mental Health Care Plans. This enables us to deliver comprehensive and holistic assessments tailored to each individual's unique circumstances. Our treatments draw upon various approaches, such as psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapies, family dispute resolution, motivational interviewing, and relaxation strategies.

In addition to individual therapy, our AMHSW offers couple and family therapy, specializing in working with children and adolescents. We are licensed by the Australian Association of Social Workers, ensuring the highest standards of practice. Some sessions employ longer-term approaches, including psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

At Temple Counselling, we bring an international perspective to social work, recognizing the diverse cultural and social backgrounds of our clients. Our strength-based approach empowers individuals with complex biopsychosocial needs, addressing relationship dynamics, social networks, family supports, financial stress, physical health, attachment issues, adjustment, and social isolation.

Social work is a practice-based profession and academic discipline that promotes social change, fights for human rights, and supports individuals with mental health conditions to achieve positive changes in their overall well-being. Social workers are skilled in policy advocacy, mental health diagnosis, and various therapeutic interventions. With experience across multiple settings, including private practice, hospitals, community mental health, and non-government agencies, social work services provide comprehensive support tailored to individual needs.
