About this website

Editorial policy and sources

How the website researches, drafts and maintains its Australian psychotherapy information.

How pages are prepared

This launch edition was drafted with AI assistance and checked against public Australian health and professional guidance. It is general educational content, not a clinical assessment. We do not claim that each article was individually reviewed by a qualified clinician. A qualified Australian professional should review clinical content before the site is promoted as an expert health resource.

Primary sources

Our general references include Australian Government healthdirect, AHPRA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and Lifeline Australia. We link directly to relevant organisations rather than presenting ourselves as a regulator.

Corrections and updates

Content may become outdated as guidelines, funding schemes and regulations change. Readers should check provider registers and official sources for the most current information. Send corrections to the contact email published on the contact page. Pages are dated and are not described as clinician-reviewed unless that review actually occurs.

A practical companion

Small daily steps. A calmer way forward.

The Stress Reset is a 31-day guide to making space for reflection and healthier responses to stress. A self-help resource, not a substitute for professional care.
