HELEN BRUCKNER
Psychologist
Private Practice

Specialising in:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress resulting from workplace and family situations.
    

I have been a Psychologist for 32 years, 14 years in private practice.

My experience includes:

• helping people with disability for educational placement and assessment;
• early childhood assessment and parenting through both group work and counselling.
• working at the Family Court, helping people deal with marital breakdown, custody and access issues, and with the emotional upset they were experiencing.
• work with trauma victims of suicide, robbery, murder, bank hold-ups, bus accidents sexual abuse and kidnap.

In my private practice, I work mainly in helping people with depression, anxiety and stress resulting from workplace and family situations.  This regularly involves working with couples experiencing marital/partnership difficulties or separation.

Where appropriate, I use techniques such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy and relaxation as well as ongoing counselling and support.

Using hypnotherapy and counselling, I am also able to help with other problems such as smoking cessation, weightloss, insomnia, phobias and fears.

Most of the above problems are associated with some degree of depressive overlay, or biological depression, and I manage these in a caring and supportive manner, understanding the depths of despair that can be experienced.
