Lisa Spencer - Compassion Psychological Services

Welcome to Lisa Spencer - Compassion Psychological Services (CPS), located in Arcadia Vale, Australia. At CPS, our mission is to help you "LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE" by providing effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. As a fully registered psychologist with over 24 years of experience, I am dedicated to treating a range of mental health disorders and creating a neutral ground for individuals to heal and grow.

In our sessions, my focus is on helping you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strengths. I provide a safe and neutral space where you can share your concerns, and together we will customize a treatment plan tailored to your needs. I am committed to being there for you every step of the way, supporting you as you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward towards the life you desire.

I am also experienced in supporting clients under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which provides support to eligible individuals with various disabilities. Whether you are self-managed or plan-managed, I can assist you in capacity building and improving daily living skills. Engaging in psychological support can help you reach your goals, increase your independence, enhance your mental well-being, and improve your overall life satisfaction. Your goals will be the focus of our sessions, and I will provide assessments, recommendations, and training/therapy to help you achieve them. Together, we will work on reducing mental health issues, learning effective coping strategies, improving relationships, and boosting your self-esteem and confidence.

With my extensive experience working in medical practices, schools, rehabilitation centers, and my own clinic, I bring a wide range of treatment options to help you improve your health and happiness. Whether you are struggling with depression, fear, anxiety, or other emotional and behavioral issues stemming from past experiences, I can guide you towards recovery, motivation, perspective, and joy.

I also specialize in helping individuals overcome symptoms associated with painful and traumatic events. If you are experiencing anxiety, fear, or hopelessness, I am here to support you through the healing and grieving process.

Relationship issues can be incredibly stressful, and many people struggle with effective communication and conflict resolution. With my expertise in relationship skills, I can help you learn strategies to improve your relationships and navigate challenging situations with the people in your life.

Counseling is an essential aspect of therapy, providing a safe and compassionate environment to discuss your issues. By working with a psychologist who is not personally connected to you, you can feel free to share your deepest thoughts and concerns. Our sessions will help you identify goals and potential solutions to your problems.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian government has implemented a telehealth initiative for online psychologists. This allows you to access psychological services from the comfort of your own home while still receiving Medicare rebates if you have a mental health care plan. Additionally, NDIS and Victims Support ACT also offer telehealth services for their clients. Telehealth provides accessibility, safety, and convenience, eliminating the need to travel to appointments. You can access these services from anywhere in Australia using online platforms like "zoom" or your phone. All you need is a phone, reliable internet connection, a smartphone with a camera, and a private space for your sessions. Rest assured, the quality of therapy remains the same as if you were here in person.

Please note that our services are available to clients who have approval for therapeutic support and who manage their own NDIS plan or have a plan manager.

At Lisa Spencer - Compassion Psychological Services, we are dedicated to helping you live your best life. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards your journey of healing and growth.
