Psychotherapy in Adelaide — Marion & Southern Suburbs

Psychotherapy is a structured, evidence-based talking therapy that helps people understand and change patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are causing distress. At Yara Psychology, it is delivered by registered psychologists in Marion, Adelaide, and via telehealth.

Psychotherapy is typically a longer-term, more in-depth process that explores underlying patterns contributing to current difficulties, while counselling is usually shorter-term and focused on a specific, present-day issue. Both are talking therapies, but psychotherapy generally involves a deeper exploration of history and patterns over time.

Psychotherapy works through regular, structured conversations between a client and a registered psychologist, using evidence-based techniques suited to the person's goals and presenting concerns. Progress is reviewed collaboratively and the approach adjusted as understanding deepens.

Many people can book psychotherapy directly without a referral. Depending on your circumstances or preferred pathway, a referral from a GP or other health professional may also be used to access this service.

The length of psychotherapy varies by individual and depends on the complexity and goals of treatment, and is discussed collaboratively between client and psychologist. Some people attend for a number of months, while others engage in longer-term therapy.
