There is a higher than average level of stress within the legal profession. This may take the form of anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug misuse, family issues, and work pressures and related problems.
The Bar Association of Queensland is assisting members through a variety of approaches, including providing a panel of experienced, independent psychologists, coaches and counsellors for all BAQ members to avail themselves of as they see fit.
The Panel
The panel members have the following attributes in common:
- Formal qualifications in counselling or clinical psychology, organisational psychology, or clinical social work.
-
Seniority and experience in their professions.
- Experience in working with lawyers and law firms.
- Completely independent practitioners in private practice settings
- Different areas of practice in psychology and executive coaching.
How it works
The providers are listed below with profiles, photos and contact details.
BAQ members are welcome to make separate contact with any panel member
to organise a session. There is no need or requirement to inform BAQ in
relation to any session arranged.
The process takes place completely separately from BAQ. The providers
are not funded by BAQ and the panel members will not report to it. The members are responsible for payment of their sessions. (Most of the
listed practitioners have facility for Medicare and/or insurance
rebates.)
The process is completely confidential.
