Better Times Psychology was built on a straightforward idea: that psychological therapy, when properly evidence-based and genuinely collaborative, produces real change. It can shift how people think, feel, and function — including in the context of chronic physical illness and persistent pain.
Based in South Brisbane with telehealth available across Queensland, Better Times Psychology provides individual therapy for adults and adolescents across a broad range of psychological difficulties, with a particular interest in the intersection of psychological and physical health.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your goals. The approach is direct and evidence-informed — drawing upon CBT, CBT-CP, ACT and PRT interventions depending on your presentation and goals.

Enquire →A specialist focus for people living at the intersection of psychological and physical health — conditions that are real, often debilitating, and supported by a growing and robust evidence base.
Drawing upon CBT-CP, ACT and PRT interventions, psychology can produce meaningful, measurable reductions in pain and disability — particularly for persistent pain where a clear structural cause has not been identified.
Specialist support for FND — including functional movement disorder, non-epileptic seizures, and functional cognitive symptoms — working alongside neurological care for a coordinated approach.
Pacing-informed, evidence-based psychological support for ME/CFS and post-viral fatigue. The approach respects the physiological reality of the condition while addressing psychological factors affecting function and quality of life.
Evidence-based support for IBS, functional dyspepsia, and related conditions — drawing on established gut-brain research connecting psychological regulation with gastrointestinal health.
The brain and body are in constant, bidirectional communication. Stress, trauma, and learned threat responses directly influence how the nervous system processes pain signals, regulates the gut, and controls movement and energy output.
Mind-body conditions are not psychological in the dismissive sense — they involve genuine, measurable neurological processes. But those processes are modifiable. Psychological therapy works by changing the patterns of neural activity that maintain symptoms.
Many clients with these conditions have spent years feeling dismissed by the healthcare system. Better Times Psychology offers a different experience: clear explanation, genuine respect for complexity, and a practical treatment approach backed by evidence.
