A program that will help you
We offer counselling and psychology services in Sydney to help you over life’s hurdles. Our multidisciplinary team at Direct Focus Solutions (DFS) is focused on delivering holistic therapy for adults and children to address a range of issues that can prevent you from getting the most out of life.
Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour. It includes multiple fields of study, including cognitive processes, health, clinical, social and sports behaviour, as well as human development The goals of psychology are to describe a behaviour or symptom, explain why it is happening, predict future behaviour—for example, if someone associates a negative outcome with stimuli, they may develop a phobia to it - and, finally, to change the behaviour.
Our psychologists work with individuals of different ages with psychological, behavioural or emotional distress which interferes with their wellbeing and everyday functioning. The aim is to reduce emotional distress and enable individuals to enjoy and engage fully in life again.
At DFS, psychology is about tapping into your strengths to manage your concerns and help you to lead your best life.
Our Support services are highly flexible!
We offer psychology, and counselling services as part of our therapies, but our holistic approach draws on the experience of our multidisciplinary team. Some of our services include: anxiety, stress, phobias post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anger management, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) addiction, self-harm and more.
Psychology at Sydney-based Direct Focus Solutions is offered through a number of different therapies, all tailored to provide a holistic and individual approach to wellbeing.
Psychology therapies offered by our team include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Neurofeedback Therapy (NFT).
While these techniques may differ, their common ground is in facilitating healthy coping mechanisms to allow individuals to move forwards with their life.
Our psychology services in Sydney are available across the city in several locations. We understand how difficult it is for some people to seek help—especially if they feel their problems are inconsequential. But our team are approachable and committed to making you feel safe in a secure, comfortable environment.
At your initial session, you will be able to discuss your situation with one of our fully qualified and fully accredited practitioners. We can go through some of the approaches that may be helpful to you and take it from there.
Depending on the nature of the therapy you need, you may require more or fewer sessions than others, and there may be work you need to do outside of the session. For example, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) often involves work to take away and do at home; some sessions may involve psychometric tests and often, several types of therapy may be undertaken to produce the best outcome.
We think it is important to get the right fit and at the end of your first session, our psychologists will make a recommendation as to what therapy you may benefit from and how many sessions you may need.
We recognise that everyone is individual. We provide seamless support with therapies that work effectively when our clinical team and clients work together.
By addressing common mental health and emotional concerns we can help you to turn around your way of dealing with problems so that you can cope with them successfully in the future.

Additional Psychology Services
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by identifying negative thoughts or patterns that are affecting an individual’s life and developing strategies with them to enable change. Although it can be used in broad terms, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is commonly applied to anxiety, depression and phobia problems.
This therapy incorporates evidence-based positive psychology principles and is goal-oriented and future-focused. SFBT emphasises solutions, rather than focusing on contributing factors for the client’s concerns. Under this therapy model, clients and clinicians work together to detail how the client’s life will change once their concerns have been addressed, followed by the co-construction of practical solutions that the client can easily implement within their life.
