Bilingual and Multicultural Counselling
It was reported in 2016 by the Australian Government reported, that over 300 languages were spoken in Australia. Here at Tonic Psychology we are always attempting to ensure a diverse team that reflect the diversity of Australia. This is why we offer counselling in a range of languages. In addition to English, we also have:
Hindi speaking psychologists
Vietnamese speaking psychologists
Urdu speaking psychologists
Portuguese speaking psychologists
Dari speaking psychologists
Farsi speaking psychologists
Beyond languages, we are also proud of having brought together a team of incredible psychologists with a broad range of different backgrounds to ensure that Australians have access to culturally appropriate mental health support. Our team have backgrounds from all over the globe including:
Asia
Latin America
Middle East
South Asia
Europe
Studies have shown that multilingual counselling allows patients to be able to express their feelings more accurately and clearly to their psychologist as they can use the language they are most comfortable in. It was also found that patients and psychologists were better able to understand the impacts of culture and belonging when counselling was conducted in their home language.
Language can be a barrier for people accessing mental health services. Our mission is to ensure people across Australia can access support, no matter their background. Our multilingual services are offered both face-to-face and via telehealth! Our team want to provide compassionate care to all that seek it.
Our psychologists offer all of our bilingual services, including but not limited to:
Anxiety and depression counselling
Anger management
Eating disorder counselling
Family counselling
child counselling
disability counselling
