About Aasen Barb

Barb has been working in the capacity of a psychologist in private practice for 17 years, helping clients in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. She has a passion for meditation and creative visualisation and has recently completed a Diploma of Meditation Therapy. My approach to counselling is based on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, believing that we create our future by what we think, believe and do in the present. Sometimes the smallest change in behaviour results in the biggest life transformation. Changing a thought or a belief can alter the course of your life. You have so much more power than you probably realise. CBT is a method of instigating change in a clear and focused way. During therapy, I also utilise various other methods if I feel these will enhance healing and growth, including inner child, EFT, visualisation techniques and meditation. My goal is to support my clients in finding peace, joy and happiness in their lives. Appointments Confidential consultations are held in a safe and nurturing environment in Minyama. Home visits as well as park visits are also available. Please ring 0417700456 to book an appointment. As I may be with a client, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I am able. Alternatively, send an email to barbaasen@hotmail.com with a request for an appointment, giving suitable days and times and I will get back to you with availability. Benefits of seeing a Psychologist You might be struggling with emotional or behavioural problems such as anxiety, depression, or grief. Or you might be coping with a serious illness, work-related stresses, or relationship problems. Or perhaps you just feel a bit lost in your life and you need some direction. A psychologist can help with any of these issues. What you can expect is a therapeutic environment that is empathic, non-judgmental and client focused. You will be accepted for who you are and will be encouraged to reach your potential. My main focus is always on facilitating and empowering my clients' transformation. Your journey to wholeness is a sacred one of healing and releasing your past, embracing the present and empowering your future.
