Headway
Psychology & Wellbeing
Who We Are
We’re an innovative psychology and well-being organisation that provides high quality counselling and therapy services for individuals, couples and children aged 10 and above. We have considerable experience providing psychological support for people suffering from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, relationship problems, workplace issues and many other challenges. Headway offers other complementary services including dietetic, exercise and sleep interventions to provide a more holistic approach to mental health and well-being.
Psychology
The way a person thinks and acts determines how they feel about themselves, the world and the future. We assist clients with their thought processes, behaviours and relationships to mitigate distress and enhance wellbeing. We have a team of experienced Clinical and Counselling Psychologists to help you with a range of different problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and personality disorders.
Sleep
It has been estimated that up to 45% of Australians have problems with getting enough quality sleep. At Headway, we understand the importance of getting a full night's sleep and have a team of experts with special interest in both the physical and psychological contributors to sleep disturbance.
Diet
We are what we eat! The link between diet and mental health is becoming more prevalent with ongoing research. We have Accredited Practising Dietitians who can provide expertise in nutrition, gut health, weight management, gastrointestinal issues, chronic diseases and eating for health.
Exercise
We know the benefits of exercise on our overall health and wellbeing but many of us struggle to find the time to make it part of our routine. Headway's exercise professionals can help you with exercise plans for chronic health problems, injuries, to improve fitness or effectively manage mental health issues.
How can we help you?
Counselling &
Therapy
Individuals
Our registered, clinical and counselling psychologists provide treatment for a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, pain, stress, relationship problems and workplace challenges. We encourage referrals from individuals, the general public, general practitioners, psychiatrists and other psychologists.
Couples
When we experience problems in relationships, it can have a profound impact on our mental health. Counselling for relationship challenges can be highly effective. We provide evidence-based counselling services for couples who are having relationship challenges such as interpersonal conflict, communication issues, separation, divorce and infidelity.
Children & Adolescents
Our team provides counselling services for children (aged 6 and above) and adolescents. We have experience working with autism and ADHD, anxiety, school and social problems, parenting challenges, low mood, trauma, self-esteem issues, adjustment and relationship problems. Please make an enquiry before booking to ensure we arrange the most suitable support for your child.
Fees range from $180 – $240.
Rebates range from $88.25 – $129.55 for 10-20 individual sessions per year under a Mental Health Care Plan.
Some private health policies cover psychology, so check with your insurer to determine your eligibility.
Dietetics
The link between diet and well-being is becoming more evident. We are starting to better understand the complex relationship between what we eat, our digestive health and how we feel. There is a growing body of research showing that eating certain foods in combination can improve mental health symptoms.
At Headway, we’ve pioneered significant change in the psychology industry by adding other allied health services such as dietetics and physical activity to the offering, in addition to counselling. We believe in a holistic approach to the management of mental health issues with diet being an important component to a comprehensive treatment approach.
We have three (3) Accredited Practising Dietitians on our team who have expertise in the area of nutrition, gut health, weight management, gastrointestinal issues, chronic diseases and eating for health.
Movement
The benefits of exercise on physical and mental health have been well established, however the use of structured physical activity in conjunction with psychological treatment is much less common.
At Headway, we have an exercise physiologist who work with clients to develop tailored physical activity programs that are designed to complement psychological treatment.
These services are available for private clients, employees with an accepted workers’ compensation claim or for clients who have access to Headway through an Employee Well-being Service (EWS), which is more commonly known as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
