Counselling & support for family and domestic violence


Psychologists play a crucial role in supporting individuals who have previously been, or are currently affected by domestic violence and abuse. They can provide assessment, intervention, and therapy which is tailored to the unique needs of the individual they are working with, and many psychologists have specific experience and skills in working with trauma, family and domestic violence, sexual assault or working with children on the same topics.

Trauma informed therapy

Understand how domestic violence trauma has impacted a persons life, and how they have coped with and managed trauma. It integrates and considers the effects of trauma on all elements of therapy and focusses on building trust, being collaborative and empowering to build a sense of safety – which in turn promotes recovery and healing.

Safety Planning

Develop personalised plans to enhance safety, reduce the risk of harm, and improve your wellbeing. Safety planning may include identifying safe people and locations, creating a “run” bag full of essential items needed to start again, access or explore emergency resources, and develop coping strategies for managing crisis or risk situations.

Therapy techniques

CBT, mindfulness based interventions, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) are techniques used to support people who have experienced domestic violence. Psychologists can also help process experiences, provide education, promote resilience, and develop coping strategies to help heal emotional wounds associated with trauma and abuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clients say about My Mirror


06 April 2023

So grateful

I am so grateful for my psychologist from My Mirror, and having my psychologist available via telehealth has been so much more beneficial for my mental health. Being able to be seen, heard and listened to rather than waiting so long on a waitlist has been a godsend.


03 May 2023

Fantastic experience

Having been initially sceptical, my overall experience with My Mirror has been fantastic. My Mirror matched and connected me with a psychologist who simply “got” me from the very beginning. I cannot recommend this service enough.


05 January 2024

Big tick

I'm one of those people who doesn't enjoy going out of my home or talking to a doctor, let alone a psychologist. Without My Mirror and the services they provide I would most likely neglect seeking help, so it's a big tick from me for these guys.

What we need

One of the best online platforms I have ever used. The simplicity of the bulk billing system, rebates and the selection of well educated clinical psychologists is what we need. Couldn't of found a better website. 🙌
