Psychologists and Counsellors usually study human behaviour, research, statistics and groups for 3-10 years before moving into private practice. Most therapists listed on our website have studied counselling and psychology for a similar amount of time as a lawyer or doctor. We often answer questions about what qualifications matter for counselling. To make selection of your psychologist or counsellor easier, we offer a free emotional health check up so that you can discuss your individuals needs confidentially. Read More…

Kubler Ross Psychology Brisbane
Elizabeth Kubler Ross is famous in the world of psychology for introducing the concept of “The Five Stages of Grief”, which she developed as a result of working with terminally ill patients.
Grief and loss does not just result from the death of a loved one; it may also arise following the loss of anything we care deeply about – pets, a job, or a relationship (eg in the case of divorce).
Kubler Ross Psychology of Grief
The five stages of grief identified by Kubler Ross are:
- Denial eg this isn’t happening to me!
- Anger eg why is this happening to me?
- Bargaining eg I promise I’ll be a better person if …
- Depression eg I don’t care anymore
- Acceptance eg I’m ready for whatever comes
It is important to note that these are not necessarily experienced in chronological order; in fact, you may find yourself dealing with all five within a few hours!

Adapting to Childhood Diabetes
Your child has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes – so now what? It’s a huge transition for your child, but it can often take a toll on you and the rest of your family. Helping your child adapt to a chronic illness such as diabetes can often be stressful, as they may not understand how much effort goes into maintaining their health. As a parent and care giver, you may begin to feel depressed, anxious or even angry at times. The constant battle to get your child to eat the correct food in conjunction with medication can cause of cause unwanted tension, anger and feelings of exhaustion to grow. Most of all, the pain that you feel for your child as you help them with their pump site change or insulin injections can lead to understandable feelings of over-protectiveness, which can often do more harm than good.
Having a child diagnosed with diabetes, or any other chronic illness, isn’t easy and you don’t need to go through it alone. Luckily, professional help is available here. Vision psychology has a number of experienced psychologists who can help you, and your child.
