Experience change with Stuart Langley 

I am a registered Psychologist and have over 18 years' experience clinical experience.  I trained in the United Kingdom where I was born.  I have also worked in South Africa and the United States of America.  I specialise in complex trauma (PTSD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Anxiety and Depression. I also provide couples / marriage counselling using the Gottmam method. 

​

I have advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Radically Open - Dialectal Behavioural Therapy (RO-DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Multi-Systemic Therapy (for families), Gottman for Couples, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Schema Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

​

 Previously I have held leadership and clinical positions within in Family Therapy Programs, Child Protection, Forensic Mental Health, and the treatment of juvenile adolescents.  I am currently only available for telehealth sessions for individual sessions.  Couples / Marriage Counselling sessions can be via Zoom, or in-person if you elect to complete an intensive therapy program over a week which can be done as close as your own home.

​

Couples/Marriage Counselling: 

Intensive Therapy In-Person, or Sessions Via Zoom. 

​

There are number of choices when it comes to engaging in couples/marriage counselling:

​

Intensive Couples Counseling – Rapid Transformation

 

Emerging research suggests that the most effective way to complete couples / marriage counseling is through an intensive, therapy program. By dedicating each at least a full day to therapy, couples can experience rapid, lasting transformation.

​

I offer several flexible options to suit your needs:

​

1. In the Comfort of Your Own Home: If you'd prefer to engage in therapy within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, I can come to you. (A brief environmental safety assessment will be conducted to ensure a conducive space—this includes checking for pets, household members, and any other considerations.) This approach offers the unique advantage of integrating therapy directly into your living environment, where issues often arise, fostering immediate relevance and lasting change.

​

2. At a Local Meeting Room: If you’re not comfortable with a therapist entering your home, we can arrange a session in a private meeting room within your local community, minimizing travel time while still maintaining the focus of intensive therapy.

​

Pricing: The cost for the intensive couples therapy is $2,500 per day, plus where appropriate: flexible economy-return airfares from Sydney, ground transport at destination, and accommodation for locations outside of the Sydney/Wollongong metropolitan areas.

​

3. In a Dedicated Therapeutic Retreat: Alternatively, you may choose to experience therapy in a dedicated therapeutic venue, either in Thailand or on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland. These serene locations offer an immersive environment, allowing you to fully focus on healing and transformation.  Prices bespoke and built around your individual needs and requirements:  Please email admin@edwardmichaelpsychology.com to make an enquiry.  You can also find out more information here:   Therapeuetic Retreats | Michael Edward

Telehealth Couples Counselling

​

I specialise in helping couples build resilient and thriving relationships.  I have extensive experience working with couples and whole families to help them create a more harmonious environment.  I have done this from clinics and from within families own homes.  I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective couples counselling tailored to your unique needs.  I believe in a holistic approach to relationship wellness.  My therapeutic methods are rooted in empathy, communication enhancement, and collaborative problem-solving.  Whether you're navigating challenges or seeking premarital guidance, I am here to support you in:

​

• Communication Enhancement

• Conflict Resolution

• Infidelity Recovery

• Premarital Counselling

• Intimacy and Connection

 

How It Works:

​

1. In the first session we meet together with your partner for an assessment session where I ask questions about your relationship history and gain an understanding of your current challenges.  This is an opportunity to observe how you interact with one another so this information can be used in the creation of a tailored, individualised treatment plan later.

2. You will then each have one, completely confidential individual session.  This is an opportunity for you to speak freely without having to worry about hurting your partners feelings.  These individual sessions are vital to the assessment process. 

3. We then reconvene for a joint session where I share my reflections and present you with a treatment plan.  From here the therapy begins.

​

General Psychology Individual Sessions:

​

I provide a compassionate therapy and believe in a client-centered approach to therapy.  I work from a very eclectic framework incorporating Dialectical Bheavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy (ST) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).  You can find information about these models on the top menu bar of this website.  If you prefer to work from a single model, I am more than happy to accommodate this.  I am committed to guiding you on your journey toward self-discovery, resilience, and well-being, within a confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals.  Whether you're facing specific challenges or simply seeking personal growth, I can assist you with:

​

• Anxiety and Stress Management

• Depression and Mood Disorders

• Trauma Recovery

• Posy Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 

• Self-Esteem and Identity

• Life Transitions

• Borderline Personality Disorder

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

• ADHD assessment and management

• Antisocial Personality Disorder 

• Anger Management 

• Eye-Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

​​

 

​

The process of therapy is as important to me as the therapy itself.  This personal value to me ensures that clients always feel safe within therapy and that there is continuously a shared understanding of goals and therapeutic purpose throughout treatment. 

 

It is important that people find the right therapist for themselves and that is why free, no obligation get to know you sessions are offered.  This provides you with a relaxed space to ask any questions you may have before committing to a session.  Just click make a Discovery Session booking for a 10 minute free video chat!
