About our Perth psychologists

Headway was founded in 2018 by Dr Tom Parker. Tom is an experienced clinical psychologist who is passionate about psychology, mental health and wellbeing.

Tom’s vision was to bring together clinicians from different allied health backgrounds (psychology, dietetics and exercise physiology) to provide a more holistic approach to the management of various mental health issues.

Dr Fiona Hedderwick became a Director of Headway in 2023. Since this time, Tom and Fiona’s focus has been to consolidate Headway’s strategic priorities and to operationalise our organisational values. Our strategic priorities are to:

1) Deliver clinical and service excellence for our clients.

2) Maintain our positive workplace culture.

3) Engage our holistic services where possible.

4) Create career development opportunities for our team.

We are incredibly proud of our team and the quality of services they provide for our clients.
