What brings people here
You might be caught in a cycle of worry, feel constantly on edge or find it hard to switch off. Work, family or caring responsibilities may have left little time for your own needs.
You don’t need a clear explanation before you start. The first session helps make sense of what has been happening.
What you can work on
- Worry, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed.
- Stress from work, study, family life or caring for others.
- Burnout, boundaries and the pressure to keep going.
- Life changes that have shaken your confidence or sense of direction.
How sessions can help
Your psychologist will ask about your concerns, their effect on daily life and what you would like to change. Together you look at the thoughts, habits, relationships and circumstances that may be contributing.
Depending on your goals, that may include practical coping skills, cognitive behavioural strategies, relaxation and mindfulness, and small changes to try between sessions and review together.
When you’re the one others rely on
Parents, family carers and people in caring professions often spend most of their time meeting other people’s needs. Sessions can address the emotional load of caring, boundaries, rest and your own mental health. Support for carers.
Video and phone sessions
Video sessions use Coviu. Phone sessions are available for individual therapy when video isn’t practical and phone care is clinically suitable. You’ll need to be in Australia, somewhere private, during each session. How sessions work.
Medicare depends on eligibility. Stress or burnout alone doesn’t automatically qualify for a rebate. Your GP can assess whether a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral are appropriate. How Medicare works.
