Welcome our team consists of experienced counselling professionals that are passionate about working with people. With assistance and guidance, we help people decipher through their concerns, thoughts, and feelings. Our focus is to assist people in reaching their full potential to lead fulfilling lives. We help adults, children, teens, and families with a breadth of services such as marriage counselling, teen counselling, grief counselling and more. Alongside our clinic and online services, we have created a Youth Identity Program that teaches children and teens how to deal with issues such as bullying, nutrition, hygiene, not wanting to participate in school or physical activity, lack of ambition and little resilience. Our program assists children with ADHD, Autism, anger management and meltdowns. This is done in a non-clinical environment that is safe, hands-on, and controlled. We have had outstanding success with this program.
Our qualified counsellors here at My Healthy Mind take a non- judgemental and professional approach to all sessions and have the necessary skills and experience to successfully guide people through areas of life they may be struggling with. We offer a range of counselling services including:
Our counsellors can work through unresolved issues and help couples reconnect and move forward in a comfortable and unbiased environment. We provide the necessary tools to get your relationship back to where it was when you first got together.
Our team are specialist counsellors that can help guide your teen through confronting issues. We can assist teens in navigating through concerns such as emotional problems, mental health issues, stress, traumatic experiences, behavioural problems and much more in a welcoming and safe setting.
Going through a traumatic life experience can have huge impacts on a person's mental health, it is important to work through the effects that trauma can have to lead a content and happy life. We can help to put strategies in place to manage and cope with trauma moving forward.
Most kids/teens love their devices and when it takes over their life it can be concerning. Our counsellors can help those affected by exploring potential causes of the addiction and ways to reduce or remove technology from their everyday functioning.
Going through the loss of someone you are close to can be very difficult and bring about periods of extreme sadness. Things such as the breakdown of a relationship or the death of someone you care about can trigger grief. The grieving process is often long and complex, our team help people work through the stages.
Those living with a disability are more likely to experience mental health concerns than those who don't. Our counsellors can provide the skills and tools to empower those with a disability to confidentially work on their psychological and physical wellbeing to live a meaningful life.

While counselling and psychotherapy are similar, they do have some differences. Counselling is typically sought for short term treatment and can usually be rectified on a conscious level. Psychotherapy is normally used for long term purposes and involves thoroughly examining one's psychological history in detail.
Counsellors must be registered with a national counselling association that have a strict code of ethics in place. Counsellors must always adhere to these. They also must undergo ongoing clinical supervision of their practice and meet ongoing professional education requirements.
For a counsellor to be registered in Australia they need to have completed a Diploma of Counselling at the minimum. When looking for a counsellor, it's a good idea to hire someone who has extensive experience dealing with your specific requirements.
A standard counselling session goes for around an hour, however, some counsellors may provide longer services to their patients if necessary. How long you should continue to see a counsellor can vary from person to person and depends on your therapy needs and goals.
Normally, counselling sessions are done weekly. It does vary though so it's best to speak with your therapist. They will be able to advise you of your recommended schedule. Those who partake in regular therapy sessions usually have better outcomes than people who go occasionally.
Our payment options are NDIS or self-funded.
