About Us
Welcome to ABC Psychology
ABC Psychology was named after one of the most well-known theories of psychology, “The ABC Model”
Albert Ellis, a pioneer in the field of psychology, formulated the ABC Model in 1955, proposing that there are three stages that determine our thoughts, feelings and behaviour:
A: Antecedent or activating events such as other people, personal experiences, personal history, the future, or self.
B: Our beliefs in response to activating events such as thoughts, attitudes, roles, demands, and meanings.
C: The consequences of our beliefs including emotional responses such as healthy and unhealthy feelings, physical sensations, which lead to positive action or maladaptive coping behaviours.
Albert Ellis’s motivating force behind developing the ABC model was to address people’s irrational beliefs and assist them to build resilience to adversity.
At ABC Psychology, we believe every one of us has the ability to overcome adversity and build resilience to improve the way we think, feel, and behave in response to our busy modern world.
Our practitioners feel a great sense of privilege supporting you on your journey no matter what it may be. We believe there’s always a solution to any problem!
