Overview

Care begins with the whole picture.

Psychological care at Harmony is collaborative, practical and tailored to the person. Our psychologists work with people whose concerns may involve mental health, physical health, pain, trauma, work, relationships or several of these at once.

Where useful and with consent, psychological care can be coordinated with Harmony’s medical and exercise-physiology teams and with external treating practitioners.

Who it may help

Reasons people come to Harmony.

Every person’s needs are different. We’ll listen to what matters to you and help identify the care that best supports your goals.

01PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
Support may help with distressing memories, intrusive thoughts or images, avoidance, heightened alertness, sleep difficulties or feeling unsafe after trauma. Assessment helps identify an appropriate evidence-based approach, which may include EMDR or another trauma-focused therapy.
02Anxiety, panic and phobias
Therapy can help you understand triggers, reduce avoidance and develop practical ways to manage fear responses, panic symptoms and anxiety while returning to activities that matter to you.
03Depression and low mood
Care may explore changes in mood, motivation, sleep, withdrawal and self-critical thinking, using evidence-based strategies to support recovery, connection and meaningful daily activity.
04Persistent pain and health adjustment
Psychological care can help with pain-related distress, uncertainty, changed roles and the emotional impact of injury or illness, while supporting function, confidence and personally meaningful goals.
05Stress and work-related difficulties
Support may address sustained pressure, burnout, workplace conflict or adjustment to demanding roles, with practical strategies for coping, boundaries, communication and sustainable participation.
06Complex or overlapping presentations
When trauma, pain, mood, health and life stressors overlap, assessment can help clarify priorities and develop a coordinated plan, including collaboration with other treating clinicians when useful and with your consent.

EMDR expertise at Harmony

David Batten, Harmony’s Head of Psychology and Principal Clinical Psychologist, is an experienced EMDR Therapist and has also completed training in EMDR 2.0. EMDR is offered when it is clinically appropriate and agreed within an individual treatment plan.

David participated in the EMDR demonstration featured by ABC News in March 2026, helping explain how the therapy is delivered in practice.

Harmony treats PTSD through a specialist, multidisciplinary approach. Depending on clinical need, care may bring together psychological treatment, specialist medical input and supported exercise or rehabilitation.
