Introducing Harry Smith to The Exchange (the old Post Office).
You may have known Harry when he was young, now he's back and commencing practice as a Psychologist with us. You can contact Harry directly by ringing him on 0494 089 045, or you can speak to your GP and discuss a Mental Health Care Plan which covers part of the costs.
Here's Harry's story: -
Harry has been registered as a psychologist since 2017 and has worked with individuals and families in youth and adult counselling, alcohol and drug counselling and psychiatric disability. He is passionate about working collaboratively alongside individuals to understand their needs, and to support them in developing insights and skills to effectively pursue what is most meaningful to them.
Harry appreciates the importance of getting to know individuals so that therapy goals are in line with their own personal values and aspirations, and that every person is provided with best practice by ensuring that clients are treated with respect and integrity through their therapeutic journey.
Harry uses a trauma-informed and holistic approach to therapy, utilising cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy and also includes nature and mindfulness based approaches in his practice.
Working for many years in the public health sector, Harry has a solid understanding of the issues facing those within the community, the barriers to accessing support and services, and through this is open to facilitating sessions that are not ‘one box fits all’. This can include office sessions, as well as walk/talk and nature based therapy sessions.
Harry enjoys bushwalking, metalworking and spending time with his family.
