Biyanka Dhother is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Brisbane, working out of Level 8, 288 Edward Street, Brisbane QLD 4000.
In day to day practice, Biyanka helps people who are dealing with tough life moments and mental health concerns. That can include stress that builds up over time, worry that won’t switch off, low mood, or problems that start to affect sleep, work, or relationships. In many cases, people come in because they want support that feels steady and practical, not rushed.
Biyanka also looks after couples and families. Relationship strain can show up in different ways, like poor communication, repeating patterns, feeling disconnected, or struggling to handle conflict. Family life can be busy and messy, and therapy can give everyone a clearer way forward.
For treatment, Biyanka offers individual therapy sessions, couples counselling, and family therapy. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches used. CBT is often about spotting the thoughts and behaviours that keep things stuck, and then making small, workable changes. The aim is to help people feel more in control, even when life is still hard.
Psychological assessments are also part of the service. These can be useful when someone wants a clearer picture of what’s going on, or when symptoms have been going on for a while and they need extra support to understand the best next steps.
Sessions are set up to be grounded and respectful. Sometimes people know exactly what they want help with. Other times it takes a bit of time to figure it out. Either way, the focus stays on what matters for you and your situation right now.
Biyanka works with adults and people who are navigating different challenges, including the kinds of concerns that can affect day to day functioning. The work often involves learning skills you can use outside of therapy, not just during the session.
If you’re not sure whether therapy is for you, that’s okay. Starting can feel like a big step. Getting the right support can make things clearer, and over time, it can bring more steadiness back into daily life.
