Better Access to Mental Health Care.Focused Psychological Strategies [indiv-group]
as at Dec 2009 FULLY BULK BILLED
Good mental health is fundamental to the wellbeing of individuals, their families, and the whole population. Conversely, mental health problems and mental illness are among the greatest causes of disability, diminished quality of life, and reduced productivity. People affected by mental health problems often have high levels of morbidity and mortality, experiencing poorer general health and higher rates of death from a range of causes, including suicide. These conditions are significant in terms of prevalence and disease burden, and have far-reaching impacts for families, carers and others in the community (National Mental Health plan 2003-08).

choose a Mental Health Social Worker?
Social work is one of the qualified mental health professional disciplines. Mental health social workers are qualified to work with individuals in complex and difficult social contexts. Social Workers have a breadth of experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood and personality disorders, psychosis, suicide, relationships, life crises, adjustment issues, trauma, and family conflicts. Social work practice extends from clinical skills in working with individual people with mental health problems, to working with families, groups and communities. Social work training and skills focus on the social context and social consequences, and the treatment of mental illness. Because of their skills base, social workers are employed in treatment and rehabilitation services across the public, private, and non-government mental health service sectors, including primary care. The Australian Association of Social Workers accredits social workers with specialist qualifications and training in mental health to work as service providers in the Medicare Plus and Better Access to Mental Health Care initiatives. Mental health social workers share a knowledge and skills base with the other allied health professions and provide a range of evidence based and solution focussed interventions.

What is Reiki? Rei means Spiritual. Ki means energy. Reiki uses a special form of 'ki' (Japanese for Qi or energy) to rebalance and then charge the body's energy system. Reiki is often described as a relaxation and meditation method that promotes healing.
Is Reiki harmful? NO. There are no harmful side effects reported from Reiki healing. In fact Reiki has the ability to accelerate thehealing process. After a Reiki treatment you may feel better straight away or a little uneasy, as universal energy tries to restore your natural energy balance. Ex: As wounds to our skin heal it gets a little itchy and uncomfortable, this is when we know that the healing process is taking place. Reiki will start the healing process in the very first session. During the days following your session, your body will continue the healing process. You can help this process by spending at least 10 mins a day sitting quietly in meditation. By the second and third session people often return saying how much better they feel in mind, body and spirit.
Before treatment. If you have decided to attend a Reiki session well done. Please spend a few days prior to your session thinking about what areas you feel needs working on. Mind/Emotions, Body/illnesses, Spirit/Life journey. It is good practice to eat and drink healthy prior to coming. Feel free to explore Reiki on the internet or in books.
Actual Session. Come in comfortable clothing. Reiki energy can move beyond clothing and jewelry [however no electrical items to be worn]. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member to observe if you wish. On the day of your session we will talk briefly about those areas you have thought about. All you need to do in your Reiki session is come with a little faith that inner peace and harmony will come from your session.
Seven Major chakras.
How is Reiki channeled? I will move my hands to each major and minor chakra from head to toe. Guided by universal energies, I will either hover over a chakra or gently lay hands on you or your clothing. You will spend your healing time lying down on a well padded Reiki table in meditation. It is often described as a pleasant relaxing time. You may feel some tingling, stomach rumbling, twitches etc. According to many Asian and Eastern cultures, Reiki is channeled from universal energy, in through your crown chakra [top of head] and down through other chakras throughout your body clearing energy blockages. A Reiki treatment enables your energy to flow more freely from one part of your body to the next.
After treatment. I will sit with you while you regain your awareness. No medical diagnosis is made in Reiki. It is common that emotions or feelings can sometimes shift in the days following a treatment. This is nothing to worry about. Remember this is a sign that healing on many levels is taking place. History. I was born in Melbourne 1970. From a very young age I was universally initiated towards spiritual awareness. I have a diary upon request. I has been a spiritual teacher and guide to many people over past 20 years. Currently I operate a counseling practice 5 days per week.
