Choosing the Best Psychologist for you

 Choosing the right psychologist for you is very important. Some research suggests that the relationship between patients and their psychologist is a determining factor in the outcomes of the counselling sessions. Our director Jodie Brenton and head psychologist Mary Magalotti have carefully put together a team of well-rounded and experienced psychologists, to ensure you can find a Life Resolutions practitioner that is right for you.

Here are our top tips for choosing the right psychologist.


Top Tips 

Understand what you are looking for

Before you begin your research, you should outline:

  • why you are seeking counselling
  • what you want out of counselling
  • the type of counselling you want to receive (in-person/telehealth)


Consider the psychologist’s expertise 

Looking at the areas a practitioner is skilled in can help narrow down who can be of the most help to you. Each of our psychologists is skilled in a range of areas, however, this is a great tool to help you choose a practitioner.


Look at the clinic’s information

It is also important to find a clinic that works for you. We recommend looking at their values, mission statement and, the counselling they offer (in-person/telehealth). Here at Life Resolutions, we pride ourselves on making our services accessible to all Australians, no matter their circumstances.


Consider the relationship

It is important to choose a psychologist that you can trust and that creates a safe environment for you throughout your mental health journey. We suggest keeping this in mind when researching prospective psychologists. You can also determine whether the practitioner is right for you in your first session.


Our team values and understand the importance of finding the right practitioner for each patient. Mary Magalotti, Jodie Brenton and the Life Resolutions team are here to help you find a psychologist that is right for you.
