Colin Longworth is a “Baby Boomer” who started his mainly part-time Psychology studies as a mature-aged student, while juggling work, studies and home life

His qualifications include a four year Psychology degree from Edith Cowan University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling from Murdoch University as well as training in Clinical Hypnotherapy.

In addition to usual in-person consultations, he also offers Telehealth, either under Medicare (assuming their requirements are met) or on a full fee for service basis, for people anywhere in Australia, with a good telephone or internet connection.

He brings to the role of Counsellor, Coach, Psychologist, and or clinical hypnotherapist over a half century’s life experience. Which role, Counsellor, Coach or Psychologist, he takes on largely depends on what the client (aged from 16yo up) wants or needs.

Recognizing that for many people coming to a consultation within the "'normal" 9-5 timeframe can be difficult, as well as to be "bloke-friendly" he offers (for a slightly increased fee) consultations on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings (at the Huntingdale location).

Apart from earlier “blue collar” work, other previous employment includes a variety of human services work such as a counsellor in the employment services and disabilities fields. This is in addition to co-facilitating groups in the Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) sector (in a Prison Farm setting) and another group for perpetrators' of Domestic Violence (DV).

Other earlier work (before becoming a fully registered Psychologist) included working for about a decade in Centrelink, working in all payment areas, as well as at the Career Information Centre (CIC). This is in addition to working for a short time in the Child Protection area. Apart from starting his working life cutting out shirts and pajamas' in clothing factories.

So overall a collection of professional and other experience that will (hopefully) enable you to develop a good professional therapeutic relationship, whether you are making use of a daytime or "out of hours" consultation..
