Michelle Scott is a Psychologist based in Brisbane. You can find her practice at Level 8, 288 Edward Street, Brisbane QLD 4000. Michelle works with people who want clearer support for how they feel, how they think, and how things are going at home or in their relationships.
In many cases, people come in because life feels a bit stuck. That might mean feeling stressed for a long time, having anxious thoughts, struggling with low mood, or finding it hard to switch off at the end of the day. Michelle also sees clients who want help with behaviour that is causing trouble, whether it shows up at home, work, or in day-to-day routines.
Michelle offers individual therapy sessions for adults and, at times, for people navigating change, challenges, or big emotional seasons. Sessions are focused on what’s happening for you right now, not just what happened in the past. The goal is to help you build practical ways to cope, and to understand your patterns a bit more clearly.
She also provides couples counseling. Relationships can have rough patches, especially when communication breaks down, emotions run hot, or trust has been strained. In therapy, Michelle helps couples slow things down and look at what is driving the conflict, so you can move forward in a way that feels more workable for both people.
Family therapy is another part of her work. When family life gets chaotic, it can be hard to know how to handle disagreements, changes, or worry. Michelle supports families to improve how they talk, set boundaries, and take small steps toward calmer days.
Her approach includes behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is often used to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions, so you can spot what keeps a problem going and try new strategies. Behavioural therapy helps with changes in how you act and respond, especially when habits are hard to shift.
Over time, therapy can feel like learning new tools. Michelle keeps things grounded and makes space for real-life problems. She aims to help you feel more in control, and more able to handle what comes up, even when things are not perfect.
Michelle’s psychology training supports the way she brings care to her sessions, from the first appointment to follow-up work. If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay too. You can talk it through with her and work out a plan that fits your situation.
