Michelle Barratt, a Brisbane Christian psychologist, gives not only her professional abilities and expertise in psychology, but also feels she can come alongside not only Christians, but all individuals, and so adds a fresh dimension to her therapy sessions. She feels that while she journeys alongside her clients on their path, her therapy sessions can provide a richer and deeper connection when, if the client gives permission, they invite God to share this journey with them. She feels that knowing a person's spiritual views may be very helpful in the therapeutic setting as clients work through anguish, trauma and confusion.

 

Michelle's main priority as a Brisbane Christian Clinical psychologist is to provide a therapeutic setting; psychological sessions founded on confidentiality, trust, empathy, and affirmation. This is essential in her profession because she believes that it will provide her clients with the best opportunity to delve deeper into what's causing their symptoms and, as a result, understand more fully what may be impeding their lives in the future.  From this point and with the support of God in their lives, new goals can be set, essentially enhancing their self-esteem, and ultimately their life's purpose in God.  This will hopefully give the client a life they will believe will be God-driven, purposeful living and extremely meaningful on every level of their lives.
