TO FEEL BETTER, YOU NEED
a fresh perspective
Your personality is composed of different parts, known in Resource Therapy as “parts” or “resources”. Each person has their own set of unique personality parts which function in specific situations. For example, you may have a “professional” part which takes over at work, a “romantic” part which switches on for intimacy and a “party” part which enjoys having a good time.
When we are healthy and well the right part comes out at the right time in the right situation. When a part needs help, we feel out of control and experience unwanted feelings or behaviours we just can’t shift on our own. Resource Therapy is a psychodynamic approach which quickly gets to the root of problems to heal difficult emotions and rewire problematic behaviour.
Resources Therapy helps you to better understand yourself and gain greater control of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We help you identify and heal the core of the issue – freeing you up so you feel lighter, healthier and more at ease.
Why Resource Therapy?
Everyone deserves to feel healthy, well and whole
Psychodynamic theory recognises that much of our behaviour and emotion is driven by subconscious states. In Resource Therapy we call these states “resources” which become parts of our personality. Most resources develop in childhood when the brain is rapidly developing and, while most are helpful, some are stuck in the past and cause us to struggle.
When resource states are negatively impacted by past experiences, without a resolution, they cause problematic emotions and behaviours in the present. Traditional talk therapy addresses conscious states only. Resource Therapy works with both conscious and subconscious states as the subconscious states are often those in need of help. This approach gets to the heart of issues, providing healing and a new way forward. If you’ve tried traditional therapy without success, it’s understandable as talk therapy does not work in this deeper way.

FAQ’s
Is the therapy online or face to face?
You can choose between face to face in our Melbourne office or online sessions. (Walking distance from Southbank, Docklands, Melbourne CBD. Closest station, Southern Cross. Direct trams from Port Melbourne, St Kilda, Richmond and Brunswick.)
See contact page for Melbourne CBD office location.
What is the RT personality mapping and report?
RT stands for Resource Therapy. Resource Therapy is a psychodynamic approach which locates different parts of the personality so we can better understand ourselves and why we do what we do.
The personality assessment takes up to 2 hours and involves mapping the different parts of your personality and their unique roles. When we understand the different parts of ourselves we can take more control of our emotions and behaviours. The resultant report outlines your unique personality parts, their purpose and how they interact.
You will receive your report within 5 business days of your mapping session.

Is THIS right for you?
We want to ensure you get the results you are after so it has to be the right fit.
Resource Therapy is right for you if you are:
- Seeking to understand and accept yourself more
- Open to identify and work with different parts of your personality
- Willing to do things differently
- Prepared to grow and change
- Committed to do the work
It doesn’t matter where you are starting from. Some clients come to us having never had any counselling or psychotherapy. In the past, many of our clients have had counselling that hasn’t helped. They find our approach, which combines traditional counselling, deeper exploration and skills development, to be more helpful and effective.
The best way to establish whether this is a good fit for you is to chat with us. Then you really get a sense of who we are and how we operate.
We’d love to talk with you.
