Anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress can make everyday life feel overwhelming. You may notice changes in your mood, energy, sleep, concentration, motivation, or the way you respond to everyday pressures and relationships. Over time, it can become harder to feel settled, connected, or like yourself.
Working with a psychologist can help you better understand what may be contributing to these experiences, while developing practical and meaningful ways to navigate them with greater clarity and confidence.
Lumaura Psychology supports adults across Brisbane, including Kenmore, Chapel Hill, Indooroopilly, Brookfield, Bardon, Taringa, Toowong, and surrounding western suburbs. Sessions are available via secure Telehealth, offering flexible, private, and accessible support across Brisbane, Queensland and Australia.

matched to you.
Rather than a single method, sessions are shaped by what's most useful for you in the moment. These are the four evidence-based frameworks we draw on most often — your psychologist will weave them together based on where you are and what you're working on.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
ACTBuilds psychological flexibility: noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being run by them, and reconnecting with what matters most to you.
Most often used for anxiety, low moodCognitive & Behavioural Tools
CBTPractical strategies for breaking unhelpful thinking loops and behaviours that keep distress in place — and rebuilding habits that quietly support you.
Practical, skill-buildingInternal Family Systems
IFSA compassionate way of working with the different “parts” of yourself — the inner critic, the protector, the wounded — so they no longer pull you in opposing directions.
Deeper, exploratoryEye Movement Desensitisation
EMDRFor experiences your nervous system hasn't fully processed. EMDR helps the brain re-file difficult memories so they no longer have the same hold on the present.
For trauma, stuck memoriesIs This Type of Therapy Right for You?
You may benefit from support if you're experiencing worry that feels difficult to control, persistent low mood, loss of motivation, emotional overwhelm, irritability, sleep changes, or a general sense of being "on edge." Therapy provides a space to understand these experiences, develop new coping strategies, and work toward greater balance and wellbeing.

What to Expect in Your Sessions
In your sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where your experiences are met with understanding and curiosity. You'll work collaboratively with your psychologist, receive clear explanations of therapeutic approaches, and learn practical tools you can apply between sessions. Each session is paced to support your comfort, emotional safety, and ongoing progress.
