Tom’s vision was to bring together high performing individuals with different allied health backgrounds to deliver a more holistic approach to the management of mental health issues.

Dr Tom Parker has a particular interest in the combination of psychology, exercise, and dietary interventions for presenting issues such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Tom remains committed to Headway’s strategy which is to continue evolving Headway’s holistic program; to recruit and retain the best practitioners; and to provide a comfortable office environment for team members to thrive and do their best work.

Dr Fiona Hedderwick joined the Headway team in 2020 and became a Director of Headway in 2023. Her warm, compassionate and client focused approach has been an excellent complement to Headway’s leadership team.
