Sally Goodwin Clinical Psychology

Sally Goodwin Clinical Psychology is a small, Adelaide-based professional psychology practice aimed at helping people achieve a much better quality of life. There are two locations – North Adelaide and Kingswood/Mitcham (SA).

The practice shares rooms with other psychologists and strives to maintain solid peer support and referral networks through professional collaboration with other health professionals.

A highly ethical and caring service is provided in a comfortable and discreet environment. Clients can be assured that they will be treated with respect and given the opportunity to develop skills in managing their concerns effectively. They will also be reassured that most clients seeking psychological assistance are normal people experiencing problems in their life who can develop skills to address and cope better with such problems.

Psychologists are trained to understand human behaviour, thoughts and emotions, and to assess and treat a wide range of psychological problems and concerns related to mental and physical health. The therapeutic orientation of the practice is cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). This type of psychological therapy is widely considered to be the most effective (evidence-based) short term therapy for a range of emotional problems. The aim of CBT is to assist people to learn skills in managing unhelpful thinking and emotional distress, and to make changes to the way they respond to difficult situations in life. It is a practical approach designed to focus on present day problems. The overall aim is to become happier and more fulfilled in life and focus on goals for the future.
