Hi, as you probably know by now, my name Crispian (Cris) Jones. I am a psychologist at Seachange Psychology, based in Cairns, Qld, Australia.
I have what people often describe as a diverse professional background, as prior to moving into the world of counselling and psychology, around 1984 or so, I worked variously as a commercial pilot operating throughout Northern Australia and PNG, a musician in the Australian Army in Canberra, and a factory hand at Peter's Ice Cream factory and delivery driver for Tip Top Bakeries, both in Perth.

Anger is a powerful emotion. If it isn't handled appropriately, it may have destructive results for both you and your loved ones. Uncontrolled anger can lead to arguments, physical fights, physical abuse, assault and self-harm. On the other hand, well-managed anger can be a useful emotion that motivates you to make positive changes.

Everyone can feel sad; particularly when faced with loss or grief. Depression, however, is more than low mood and sadness at a loss, it is a serious medical illness and is usually seen as the result of chemical imbalances in the brain. The sufferer feels extremely sad, dejected and unmotivated. Depression is common and sadly, appears to be on the increase across the developed world along with anxiety.
Grief, is a response to loss, particularly the death of a loved one, but also the loss of a job, good health and so on. Grief affects your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, beliefs and your relationships with others. It is often thought that people progress through grief in similar ways; but this is not the case.
Sometimes the cause of the pain cannot be found or there are no available treatments for it. In other cases, the cause may be remedied, but the associated pain lingers on. Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for longer than 3 months. At any given time, around one third of Australians are in pain.

I was very hesitant at first, I’d never needed help before and as soon as I met Cris I thought this is the guy that will help me. He is very honest, he really makes you think and work for your results and by doing so I really think that it allowed me to get better quicker.
Cris has gone out of his way to help me after hours when needed and has been able to support and encourage me with being confident in my decisions, standing up for myself, dealing with past trauma and approaching life with a different way of thinking!
I am a FFFF!
THANK YOU!

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Cris for helping me quickly understand and find a solution to my anxiety and negative thoughts.
From the first session, Cris was nice, kind,
and made me feel relaxed and open to talk about how I was feeling.
Using his tapping technique, within one session, my general outlook completely changed. This was definitely something that I did not expect.
If you are having any anxious or negative thoughts, and are unsure if you should talk to someone, definitely give Cris a chance.
100% recommend!!

I am so grateful to have met Crispian. He has changed my life! after forty years of dealing with childhood trauma, I am finally free from the restraints that have held me back. I am now free to enjoy the rest of my life to the fullest. I highly recommend hypnosis with Cris. I felt I could trust him and was totally at ease. I feel like my head is clearer and not stuffed with nonsense ideals and confused thoughts. I feel lighter, free and ready to move forward now. Thank you very much Cris for helping me to change my life, you are very good at what you do!

On 24/9/21 I had my second appointment with Crispian Jones from Seachange Psychology regarding a problem i had had for over 20 years.
All i can say is I have had truly amazing and unbelievable results from Crispian’s hypnosis and tapping therapy. It has only been a short time but it has honestly changed my life. Without going into to much detail, my issue was a constant struggle every single day of my life and i wasn’t sure anything or anyone could ever help. It took only one session from Crispian and it has completed 100% fixed my issues.
Absolutely life changing, thanks so much for your

Chris has an amazing ability to understand exactly what is causing your problem, his pre treatment questions even made me feel confident he was going to be able to help me. He did not criticise or make me feel I had done anything wrong and reassured me that I was not at fault. I felt so much better even before he actually treated me. On my second visit he greeted me like we were old friends and instantly made me feel relaxed. He treated my anger and frustration with a Tapping Technique and I immediately felt completely calm and at ease. I no longer wanted to thump something/someone. It was an incredible

Cris was the first psychologist who helped me with my anger issues. I have seen a number of therapists over years, however Cris was able to direct me in the right way and support me through the process. And even though he says I did all the work, he showed me where my anger was coming from and taught me how to deal with it. A few months later, I am much calmer and happier person!
Cris is caring, but firm in his attitude. He never cancelled or postponed an appointment, never charged cancellation fee and was always accommodating and understanding!

Cris is a very professional and knowledgable psychologist. I have always learnt during his sessions and he is always willing to elaborate in detail if further explanation is needed. I felt genuinely cared for and respected, leaving each session feeling a greater sense of understanding within myself. I would highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Cris :)

I have been seeing Crispian Jones at Seachange Psychology for a number of years. Whether the appointment was regarding relationship issues, life direction or general mood correction. I have always walked out of Cris's office lighter, with clarity of though and energised. I can not begin to thank Crispian enough for his support of my family and I in 2020. I will always recommend Crispian to my friends, family and colleagues.
