PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES IN MELBOURNE TAILORED TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

In any one year, 1 in 5 Australians will experience difficulties with their mental health and it’s estimated that almost half of us (45%) will experience challenges at some point in our lives. Mental health concerns are common! Talk to us about evidence-based support that is tailored specifically to you.

A new diagnosis or a change in our health status can bring about challenges for ourselves and our families. While it’s normal to experience a range of emotions in response to these changes, speaking to a psychologist can help you to cope. Support is available for you and your family.

The experience of chronic pain can be difficult to describe and is undoubtedly difficult to manage. Psychological factors associated with chronic pain can contribute to the impact it has on your quality of life, relationships, mental health and levels of independence. Talk to our psychologists about managing your pain.

We all experience stress at different points of our lives. It may be due to having too many demands and not enough time, or maybe from a new or unexpected situation that leads us to feel overwhelmed. Talk to our psychologists about techniques and strategies to manage stress and keep it under control in the future.

Symptoms of trauma may be overt (clearly identifiable traumatic events), or covert (more subtle and hidden experiences that may not be as readily recognised as traumatic, such as emotional neglect, psychological abuse, ongoing exposure to stress or conflict, or witnessing domestic violence). Both can have a profound and long-term impact on mental and physical health. Support is available from our trauma-informed psychologists.

Some stress at work is normal, and may even help to motivate; however prolonged stress can be detrimental to our mental health, relationships and efficacy at work. Workplace issues like bullying and harassment can have serious consequences for all those involved. Support for workplace issues is available and you may be eligible for funding.

Issues with sleep may be an indicator of an underlying issue, like stress or anxiety, or may be a result of changed habits or lifestyle. Understanding the cause can help to manage sleep issues. Even if the don’t know the cause, there are many factors that perpetuate sleep issues and these can be addressed with strategies such as CBT and relaxation. Talk to our psychologists for support.

Maybe you are thinking about making a big decision, like retiring or changing jobs. Or maybe you want some support to enhance your general well-being. Our psychologists are here to help!
