Seeking help is nothing to be ashamed about. Everybody goes through challenges and seeking help is not something to be ashamed of.

Hello, my name is Ros Yuen, I am a psychologist and family therapist practicing at Kensington.

Hi there, I’m Ros Yuen, a licensed psychologist and family therapist based near Kensington Park.

My goal is to collaborate with you in fostering purposeful transformations in your life. I strive to disrupt the unhelpful cycles of thought, emotion, and action that can hurt you, and to introduce fresh strategies so you can navigate life on your terms.

I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through the journey of healing from stress and trauma, empowering them to lessen anxiety, triumph over depression, and forge enriching connections. In this contemporary landscape, it’s vital to develop the skills necessary to find contentment within ourselves, steering away from futile attempts to control the uncontrollable.

Couples Therapy

Intimate relationships will inevitably face ups and downs. This can impact many facets and cause a variety of issues that may be difficult to deal with alone.

Family Relationship Therapy

Within families, relationships weave together different viewpoints, goals, behaviours, and interactions. These combinations can create dynamics that, if left unaddressed, may undermine the collective happiness and well-being of the family unit.

Blended Family Parenting

Family transformations bring a mix of benefits and challenges. Blended families encounter specific obstacles demanding delicate and detailed support to overcome.

Narcissistic Relationships

Being in a relationship with a narcissist can often start out well, being fun and exciting before tuning into very bad ones once a lack of genuine caring becomes evident.

Same-Sex Relationships

Same-sex couples encounter diverse challenges that can benefit from a holistic approach from a knowledgeable professional.

Addressing Workplace Bullying

Coping with workplace challenges like intimidation or harassment can feel overwhelming. Engaging with professional support services may offer valuable assistance in navigating and resolving these situations.

Do you offer online consultations?

Online consultations via Zoom and Phone sessions are part of my services. I do recommend an initial face-to-face meeting, ideally once or twice, before transitioning to online sessions. Please keep in mind that certain interventions, particularly those geared towards couples, may not translate as effectively to an online setting.

Do you provide rebates for sessions?

If your Private Health Insurance incorporates Psychology under Extras, there’s a possibility to claim rebates through your Health Fund. Given the varying policies and extents of coverage, it’s wise to consult your Health Fund directly to ascertain the applicable details.

Medicare provides rebates for individuals, not couples, through a Mental Health Plan prescribed by your GP. The plan is valid for 12 months, granting you access to a total of 10 sessions. Initially, your GP may allocate 6 sessions, with an additional 4 sessions available following a review consultation.

All our sessions are confidential. Psychologists are legally bound by confidentiality except when subpoenaed by court or when there is a serious risk of harm to you or another person or if mandated to report.

As mandated reporters under the Firearms Regulations 2017, psychologists are legally required to report any suspected firearm injuries or unsafe firearm situations to the appropriate authorities.

Psychologists are legally obliged to report any reasonable suspicion of harm to a child or young person.

Additional details regarding privacy and your legal rights can be accessed here.

What should I expect from the first appointment?

You will be asked to complete an intake form of several pages in the waiting room, then, the first session is for you to speak about your concerns with gentle guidance from me to make explicit what is implicit. You will also experience my interpersonal style and assess if I am the right fit for you. Two sessions are usually needed to cover the intake process and my aim in the first session is to be an attuned listener to you.

What should we expect with your cancellation policy?

We kindly ask for a minimum of 48 business hours notice for cancellations to accommodate those on our waiting list. In the event of cancellation less than 48 business hours before the appointment or non-attendance, full fees will be charged. For further details, please refer to our cancellation policy.

The Gottman Method

Adapting various approaches to address specific issues is crucial to meet the unique needs of individuals or couples. One effective technique I utilise is called the Gottman Method.

In couples therapy and marriage counselling, this approach emphasises three relationship profiles: the friendship profile, the conflict profile, and the shared meanings profile.

Interventions are tailored to the specific strengths and weaknesses of a couple’s relationship in terms of these profiles. There is a particular focus on perpetual issues, solvable problems, and conflict resolution and communication.

Are you facing challenges with…?

Coping with Anger

While anger is inherent to human nature, its expression in harmful ways can lead to problems. Mastering your anger begins with comprehension. Identify triggers, acknowledge warning signs, and embrace coping mechanisms to effectively navigate this emotion.

Anxiety

Continuous worry or intrusive thoughts that disrupt everyday functioning define ongoing anxiety. While experiencing occasional anxiety is natural, when it becomes prolonged or unmanageable, it surpasses regular responses to life’s challenges.

Managing Compulsive Patterns

If your behaviour is causing distress for you or your loved ones and is interfering with your life, seeking specialised treatment tailored to your specific requirements can offer valuable assistance in addressing these concerns.

Managing Feelings of Depression

People go through periods of feeling down, but being depressed you feel persistently sad. Persistent depression can become a disabling mental health condition.

Symptoms like decreased energy, lack of interest in previously enjoyable pursuits, or feelings of isolation may signal the need for assistance in addressing a depressive disorder.

Stress Management

Stress is often described as feeling tense and worried. Stress can be a brief occurrence that may be helpful in certain circumstances, despite being uncomfortable.

However, stress may become harmful and affect your ability to function well, requiring targeted strategies and coping methods.

Healing from Trauma

Instances of extreme fear or threat can leave psychological scars in their wake. Traumatic events wield significant power, often exhibiting themselves through a range of physical, behavioural, emotional, or cognitive signs and symptoms associated with trauma-related challenges.

Obsessional Thinking

Obsessional thinking is frequently accompanied by repetitive behaviours or rituals aimed at easing the anxiety provoked by those thoughts. Dealing with this multifaceted issue typically requires the work of qualified and experienced professionals.

Managing Attachment Issues

Challenges related to insecure attachment, dismissive-avoidant attachment, fearful-avoidant attachment, and anxious-preoccupied attachment typically call for extensive professional assistance.
