Phil Hinz

I have been a practicing Psychologist for over 30 years now, which is a long time and a lot of experience !   I have been in private psychology practice since 2007.  All Psychologists have a minimum of six years training to be legally registered.  I am registered with the Psychology Board (Aust) with an Endorsement in Counselling Psychology.  My work is informed by both personal and professional training experiences.   Within the context of a safe trusting therapeutic relationship, other interventions or methods may be used to assist such as Hypnotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioural therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy. I have been learning and practicing Meditation for many years. Meditative practices can be an important part of the therapy, as a process to develop insight and understanding of self, changing reactions, regulating mood and calming the nervous system and emotions, and developing acceptance and self-compassion, amongst others.  I have also done further training in Complex Trauma, DBT, Hypnosis, and Psycho-Oncology (Cancer), amongst other areas and skills. It is a privilege to work with clients to assist them with various issues and be a part of their journey, progress and positive change.
