Understanding Psychology: A Guide to Mental Wellness
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It seeks to understand how people perceive, think, feel, and act both as individuals and within groups. Whether you’re interested in learning about psychological principles for personal growth or seeking help for mental health issues, understanding the basics of psychology can provide valuable insights into human behaviour and emotional well-being.
What is Psychology?
Psychology explores the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence how we think, feel, and behave. This broad field encompasses various sub-disciplines, such as clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology, each offering unique insights into the human condition.

Mental-Health Treatments Available at Momentum Health
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a form of psychological treatment that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving to cope more effectively with the challenges in their lives. Through talk therapy and real-life practice, CBT guides clients toward enhanced personal insight and useful behavioural modifications, resulting in greater confidence and skills for managing emotions and stressful life situations. - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a short-term therapeutic approach that is future-focused, goal-directed, and emphasizes solutions, rather than on the problems that brought clients to seek therapy. It presumes the individual is the expert in their own lives, and with guidance, that clients are able to access the strengths and skills they already possess to solve the problems in their lives. - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR is a structured therapy that asks an individual to mentally focus on a traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, (e.g., tracking their therapist’s fingers as they move from side to side, or listening as sounds move from one ear to the other). Through such processing, EMDR helps to reduce the vividness and emotion associated with the traumatic memories, thereby helping to restore mental health and overall wellbeing.
