EXPAT THERAPY

 

Many of the Elementa Psychologists are themselves Expats or have spent a number of years overseas as Expats. As a result we recognise the uniqueness of picking up lives and families and moving them overseas, away from family and friends.  

 

The lives and lifestyles that come with being an expat are often very different to being in your home country and this can lead to many stressors, be they: work related, isolation related, cultural differences or over indulgence.

​

Mental health can be viewed very differently dependant on the country you are in and that can lead to limited resources or what resources there are may be unregulated.

​

With the improvement of internet speeds and the standards of security with Telehealth video conferencing software, it is now possible to deliver quality face-to-face therapy online. At Elementa Psychology we use HealthDirect Video Conferencing software that meets Australia's stringent privacy regulations. Check our privacy policy for more information.

​

As Elementa Psychology is based in Melbourne, Australia, Psychologists are regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) which maintains the standards and policies of all health practitioners in order to protect the public.

 

For more information on the minimum levels of education and training required to practice as a psychologist in Australia visit the AHPRA Psychology Board.
