Psychological Care Designed
for Life Beyond the Military
Support Designed for Life During and After Military Service
Leaving the military — or living with the impacts of service — can bring challenges that are often complex, personal and long-lasting. Many veterans experience changes in identity, family roles, physical health, mental wellbeing or daily functioning long after their time in uniform.
At Brisbane Centre for Psychology, we provide specialised therapeutic support for concerns linked to military service, deployment and the transition to civilian life.
Stepping out of the military can bring emotional, social and identity shifts that feel overwhelming or unexpected. Many veterans describe this transition as one of the hardest parts of their journey.
Our psychologists honour the realities of service, understand the unique pressures of military life and collaborate with you to create a tailored treatment approach that feels safe, respectful and aligned with your needs.
Individual Therapy for Veterans
Our approach is collaborative, respectful and grounded in evidence-based care.
We commonly support veterans with:
- PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
- Anxiety, depression and low mood
- Operational stress and adjustment difficulties
- Transition challenges and identity changes
- Sleep disturbances and hypervigilance
- Anger, irritability or emotional regulation difficulties
- Family or relationship strain
- Moral injury and grief
- Alcohol or substance concerns
With a valid referral from your GP or psychiatrist, eligible veterans can access individual therapy with no out-of-pocket costs. Therapy can be delivered face-to-face in our Inner-North Brisbane clinic or via secure telehealth depending on your needs and preferences.
Permanent Impairment Reports
We prepare comprehensive Permanent Impairment Reports for veterans pursuing DVA compensation claims. Our psychologists work closely with DVA advocates to ensure reports are detailed, accurate and aligned with DVA requirements.
Our service includes:
- Psychology sessions with you and your family
- A thorough clinical assessment
- A comprehensive Permanent Impairment Report
- All components completed within four weeks of receiving your referral
- No out-of-pocket costs with a valid DVA referral
This streamlined process ensures timely support so you can progress your claim without unnecessary delays.
Understanding Life After the Military
Life after service can be more challenging than many expect. The loss of routine, camaraderie, identity or role clarity can feel unsettling and sometimes isolating. These experiences are common — and seeking support is a strong and proactive step.
Our psychologists understand:
- the structure and culture of military life
- the emotional and psychological impact of deployment
- the adjustment process when transitioning into civilian workplaces and routines
- how service-related injuries influence mental health
- the complexities of navigating DVA systems
We aim to simplify the psychological components of the DVA process and provide care that supports both your wellbeing and the practical steps involved in recovery and compensation.
