Ros Yuen Psychology

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

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

My mission is to partner with you to facilitate realistic and significant changes in your life if that’s your objective. I aim to interrupt the persistent loops of thought, feeling, and action that perpetuate your distress, and to introduce tools to help you progress.

Helping individuals heal from stress and trauma, alleviating anxiety, overcoming depression, and nurturing fulfilling relationships are areas where my passion thrives. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s imperative to cultivate the ability to find inner peace by managing our thoughts and actions wisely, rather than trying to manipulate external circumstances beyond our control. Simply put, it’s about mastering the art of riding life’s waves without attempting to alter the ocean’s shore.

My services primarily take place in-office, offering face-to-face sessions, with the flexibility of telehealth consultations when necessary. For mental health emergencies, individuals will be promptly referred to the SA Mental Health Triage Services by calling 131465.

Psychological Services

Cultivating healthier, more resilient relationships with the guidance of a mental health worker could be transformative for your life.

I can work with you to help you develop skills and strategies that may improve various aspects of your relationship and assist you to live a more fulfilling life. My areas of interest include couple relationships and family relationships.

Relationship Support

It’s natural for intimate relationships to experience fluctuations, potentially leading to challenging issues that can be overwhelming to tackle alone.

Family Counseling

Family relationships are complex, multi-dimensional, and layered. The combination of different views, objectives, behaviours, and actions has the potential to result in complicated dynamics that may hinder happiness and well-being.

Parenting Blended Families

As families evolve, it’s a journey filled with both joys and challenges. Blended families, in particular, encounter distinct hurdles that call for a thoughtful and nuanced approach to navigate successfully.

Coping with 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

Various factors unique to same-sex couples need a comprehensive approach from a skilled professional who understands their specific needs.

Combatting Workplace Bullying

Issues in the working environment, such as intimidation or harassment, can be extremely difficult to cope with due to the complex nature of the situation. Professional support may make a significant difference.

Are online consultations available?

Yes, I do provide online consultations using Zoom and Phone sessions. Ideally, I prefer to have had an initial in-person meeting or two with clients before moving to online sessions. However, it’s important to note that some interventions, especially those designed for couples, may be more challenging to conduct effectively in an online format.

Are there opportunities for rebates on session fees?

If you have Private Health Insurance with Extras covering Psychology services, you may be eligible to claim a rebate from your Health Fund. As policies and coverage levels vary among Funds, it’s advisable to verify directly with your Health Fund for 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.

For additional information on available rebates, please refer to this link.

Will our sessions remain confidential?

Rest assured, confidentiality is a cornerstone of our sessions. Psychologists adhere to strict ethical and legal guidelines that protect your privacy, except under circumstances such as a court order or if there is a credible threat of harm to yourself or others, requiring mandated reporting.

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.

You can find more information on privacy and your legal rights here.

What can I anticipate during the initial 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 is your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy mandates a minimum of 48 business hours notice to facilitate scheduling adjustments for other clients. Cancellations made less than 48 business hours prior to the appointment or non-attendance will incur full fees. Further information on our cancellation policy can be found here.

Gottman Therapy

Employing diverse strategies to address particular challenges ensures personalised support for individuals or couples. Among the methods I employ is the Gottman Method, known for its effectiveness in fostering healthier relationships.

When conducting couples therapy and marriage counselling, this approach prioritises three relationship profiles: the friendship profile, the conflict profile, and the shared meanings profile.

The interventions provided are personalised to target the specific strengths and weaknesses of a couple’s relationship within these profiles. Key areas of focus include addressing perpetual issues, resolving solvable problems, and improving conflict resolution and communication strategies.

Do you find it difficult to cope with…?

Anger Management

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.

Understanding Anxiety

Ongoing worry or thoughts that are distressing and that interfere with daily living.

Feeling anxious is part of being human, but when it becomes sustained or reaches unmanageable levels, anxiety is no longer a normal response to certain situations.

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.

If you are dealing with symptoms such as low energy levels, decreased interest in your usual passions, or a sense of withdrawal, you may require help for a depressive disorder.

Stress Management

Stress is commonly characterised by feelings of tension and worry, serving as a temporary response that can sometimes be beneficial, albeit uncomfortable. Nonetheless, when stress becomes detrimental and interferes with daily functioning, it necessitates specific strategies and coping mechanisms.

Coping with Traumatic Experiences

Experiencing something deeply frightening or threatening can result in psychological wounds. Traumatic events carry substantial consequences, manifesting in physical, behavioural, emotional, or cognitive signs and symptoms associated with trauma-related issues.

Managing Obsessional Thinking

Obsessional thinking is often paired with repeated behaviour or ritual to reduce anxiety that accompanies the thinking.

This complex issue is often best dealt with through qualified and experienced professional support.

Coping with Attachment Concerns

Gain insight into insecure attachment patterns and cultivate behaviours that align with secure attachment styles.

Addressing issues like insecure attachment, dismissive-avoidant attachment, fearful-avoidant attachment and anxious-preoccupied attachment often necessitates comprehensive professional guidance.

Develop an understanding of insecure attachment dynamics and adopt behaviours conducive to secure attachment patterns.
