Tristan Abba Psychologist

About

Hi there, I’m Tristan…

I have been been involved in the mental health industry since 2004 and am a Registered Psychologist with Masters training available for people aged 15-50 experiencing:

Depression
Anxiety disorders
Stress
Personality Disorders
Anger / conflict resolution
Alcohol and drug use concerns & 'dual diagnoses'
Low self-esteem / low self confidence
Mood and behavioural disturbances
Family / relationship / interpersonal issues
Effects of trauma / grief & loss
Self harm / suicidal thoughts

What to Expect:

My psychology practice is flexible and specific to your individual needs. Your initial session will help me to fully understand your current situation. Your first session will give you the opportunity to discuss your particular circumstances and help us to begin to put together an accurate idea of what's causing these problem areas in your life. This will direct a tailored approach to your psychological care involving appropriate interventions and healthy coping strategies to empower you to move forwards with your life. Sessions are available online remotely via Zoom, by telephone, or at the clinic in Burleigh Heads.

Your first session will also give you a chance to ask me any questions so you can make sure that I am the most appropriate person for you. If this is not the case for any reason, I will happily make recommendations and referrals that are more specifically tailored to you.

Following on from your first session, I draw upon a range of approaches from cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), interpersonal therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills, EMDR, and Mindfulness, all within a trauma-informed and solution-focused framework. My values define both my practice and myself. There is no therapist mask, voice, or posture when I enter a consulting room. I am me and I believe this gives you the best chance to be you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Tristan
