Our focus at Headway is providing the best possible counselling service to the people who come to us in some of their most challenging times. For people reaching out for the first time, this can be difficult, so our goal is to make this process as easy as possible.

We have a capable, friendly and skilled administration team who will identify the Headway clinician deemed the “best fit” for your situation. Having the right practitioner or “match” is important and is something we pride ourselves on.

Our approach from the first contact and throughout a person’s journey with Headway is warm, compassionate and client-centred.

We provide holistic mental health services to men, women, children and adolescents, couples, and larger groups.
