Available Services & Referral Pathways

​

Tribal Psychology offers a range of psychological services to support individuals aged 15 years and over, including those experiencing trauma, mental health difficulties and complex life challenges.

We welcome a range of referral pathways, including:

• Medicare referrals – including referrals under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, subject to Medicare eligibility.

• Private health insurance – rebates may be available through some private health funds, depending on your level of cover and provider. Clients are encouraged to check directly with their health fund to confirm their eligibility.

• NT WorkCover claims – Tribal Psychology welcomes referrals for people who have experienced psychological or physical injury in the workplace. Supporting workers through recovery, trauma and the psychological impacts of workplace injury is an area of particular interest, and we welcome opportunities to work alongside injured workers, employers and relevant stakeholders.

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) referrals. Contact Tammy to explore how Tribal Psychology can support your organisation and staff. Services can be tailored to meet your needs, ranging from individual counselling and psychology sessions to professional development, staff training, cultural awareness workshops, and Tammy’s own Social and Emotional Wellbeing Reflection Card Training.

• Whether you’re looking to support individual staff members, strengthen your team’s cultural understanding, or build confidence in supporting the social and emotional wellbeing of others, Tammy can work with you to find the right approach for your organisation.

• GP and medical practitioner referrals.

• Self-referrals – individuals can contact Tribal Psychology directly.

• Police, corrections and justice sector referrals.

• Government and non-government organisation referrals.

Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive and grounded in an understanding of the individual, their experiences, relationships and broader social and cultural context.

We aim to provide a safe, respectful and supportive space where people feel heard, understood and supported in their journey towards recovery and wellbeing.

​

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social and Emotional Wellbeing

Tribal Psychology recognises the importance of culturally safe, respectful and responsive psychological care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

​

Our approach acknowledges that social and emotional wellbeing extends beyond an individual's psychological health. It encompasses connections to family, kinship, community, culture, Country, spirituality, identity and the broader social, historical and political contexts that shape people's lives.

​

We recognise the importance of listening to people's stories, understanding cultural and community contexts, and working alongside individuals in ways that respect their knowledge, strengths, experiences and perspectives.

​

Services are informed by an appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing, with an emphasis on relationships, connection, strengths and culturally responsive practice.

​​

Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) Reflection Cards Training

Tribal Psychology also offers training in the use of the Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) Reflection Cards.

​

These cards provide a practical and engaging resource to support meaningful conversations, reflection and deeper understanding when working alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

​

The training explores how practitioners can use the cards to move beyond simply asking questions and gathering information, towards creating opportunities for people to share their stories, experiences, strengths, relationships and perspectives.

​

The training is suitable for psychologists, counsellors, social workers, health professionals, police, corrections officers, educators and other professionals whose work involves connecting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families and communities.

​

Training can be tailored to the needs of individual organisations and workforces.

​

Training, Professional Development & Discussion Groups

In addition to individual psychological services, Tribal Psychology offers professional development, training and facilitated discussion groups for organisations, practitioners and professionals working across health, mental health, education, police, corrections and community services.

​

Training and discussion topics can include:

​

• Trauma-informed practice and understanding the impacts of trauma.

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB).

• Culturally responsive and culturally safe practice.

• Understanding intergenerational trauma and the ongoing impacts of colonisation.

• Building meaningful relationships and strengthening cross-cultural understanding.

• Reflective practice, professional discussions and workforce development.
