About Me

Jo Thom (Psychologist)

Here is a little bit about me. Originally from country WA, I have called the NT home for over 25 years.  Not sure if I am considered a local yet.  And I am definitely not sure where that time went! I blame it on the continuous feeling of being hot,  and very hot and humid…hence the years really just slip away…

I have had various jobs over my lifetime from nursing to selling pearls in the remote town Broome, WA, to owning an award-winning restaurant here in the NT.

I have been practicing as a psychologist for almost 15 years. I have experience working in a range of settings including government, as we as with a well-known refugee centre in Darwin, the Melaleuca Refugee Centre.  I have done extensive work in providing psychological support for clients under a EAP (Employment Assistance Program) with their employer.   When the COVID lockdowns started I commenced providing a telehealth service to veterans.  It is an honour to be doing this work.

As a Psychologist I am committed to my professional development so that I can support you in improving your mental health and quality of life, a life that is guided by values.

Warm Regards,
Jo

Treatment

Face to Face & Telehealth (Phone, FaceTime)

I work from a trauma informed framework as well as drawing heavily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework.  ACT is one the worlds fasted growing evidenced based therapies.  Techniques are practical and are easy to apply. In my opinion the
principles of ACT just make sense.  

To further inform my practice I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies
including Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical
Behaviour Therapy and Trauma Focused ACT.

Psychological intervention is client centred and goal focused.  Treatment is aimed to develop psychological flexibility.

Here is a snapshot of what counselling looks like.

  • You will learn skills to help you respond more flexibly to painful thoughts and feelings that can result in self-defeating behaviours.
  • You will learn psychological skills to help manage painful thoughts that can lead to feelings such as depression, anxiety, anger and so on…
  • We will also look at your values. We will work on what is important to you to help guide your behaviour in ways that make life more enriching.
  • Skill development might include learning relaxation strategies, such as controlled breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.
  • This is one of my favourite tools that I use with my clients. The Choice Point: A Map For A Meaningful Life (video) https://psychwire.com/harris/resources describing what happens when we get “hooked” by painful thoughts and feelings.

You will need to scroll down the bottom of the free resource page to find it.
