How can we help?
Life doesn’t always go to plan—you don’t have to navigate challenges alone. We’ll work collaboratively to understand your experiences and develop practical strategies to support meaningful, lasting change.
People seek psychological support for many different reasons, at all stages of life. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply feeling that something isn’t quite right. Some examples include:
Anxiety
Persistent worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or social discomfort can interfere with everyday life and relationships.
Low mood and Depression
Feelings of sadness, emptiness, lack of motivation, or loss of interest in things you once enjoyed.
Neurodiversity
Gain a better understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Navigate challenges with focus, impulsivity, communication, emotional regulation, and build on unique strengths. Exploring neurodivergence can be a valuable step toward greater self-understanding and acceptance.
Stress and life pressures
Work, study, family, and daily responsibilities can build up, leaving you feeling exhausted, anxious, or unable to switch off. Psychology support can help with learning healthier ways to cope and prevent burnout.
Relationship difficulties
Challenges connecting with partners, family members, friends, or colleagues—whether it’s conflict, communication issues, or feeling disconnected.
Trauma and difficult past experiences
Past or recent experiences that continue to affect your sense of safety, trust, or emotional wellbeing.
Grief and loss
Coping with the death of a loved one, or other significant losses such as relationships, health, or identity.
Life transitions
Adjusting to change such as moving, starting or ending a relationship, career shifts, becoming a parent, or other major life events.
Habits and behaviours
Difficulties with sleep, motivation, substance use, or behavioural patterns that feel hard to change.
Men’s health
Men often push through stress, stay quiet about emotions, and handle challenges on their own. Over time, pressure can build—showing up as anxiety, burnout, anger, low motivation, or a sense that something just isn’t right.
Individual sessions
Sessions are typically 50 minutes and structured to meet your personal needs. Flexible support options include meeting online, via telehealth or at a setting in the community. NDIS participants may be eligible for in-home support. Frequency will vary from person to person, though most prefer either a weekly or fortnightly schedule. This can be adjusted based on needs.
Confidentiality
Psychologists are ethically and legally obliged to protect the privacy of their clients. Personal information is managed securely and confidentially in accordance with the Psychology Board of Australia code of conduct and privacy legislation. This will be discussed in greater detail prior to engaging.
Fees
Talking Heads currently accepts referrals via Medicare, WorkCover, DVA, private health insurance and privately funded clients. The Medicare rebate for those referred by their GP under the Better Access initiative is currently $98.95 per individual session.
Self or Plan-Managed NDIS participants may be able to access capacity-buiding psychology support. Please reach out to discuss further or ask your Support Coordinator to get in touch on your behalf.
Cancellations
48 hours notice is required to cancel or re-schedule an appointment. If this does not occur a cancellation fee of 50-100% of the consultation fee may be charged.
