How we support the whole family
The counselling services we offer draw on a number of evidence based approaches. Counselling support with us may involve:
- One on one sessions where we will work together to address your needs
- Collaborative therapy with children and families
- Developing strategies and learning techniques, to help you manage your mental health
- Options to connect with our other services, groups and programs
Lin is 34 and a full time carer to her 3 children including 6 month old baby Nicholas. Lin was referred to us through her Maternal Health Nurse after she expressed feelings of hopelessness at Nicholas’s 6 month check up.
Watch how we supported Lin with managing her difficult feelings.
Meet the other Well family members

We support children too
Our Child Psychologists can support both you and your child. We provide techniques and strategies to help you manage your child’s needs at home. Sometimes our Child Psychologists might identify other services that your child could benefit from, in conjunction with psychology.
Some of the children who see us need help with:
- Concentrating, sitting still or paying attention
- Talking and being understood by others
- Making friends
- Managing feelings such as anger, sadness and frustration
Whatever your child may need, we can provide services individually and/or as a holistic “wrap-around” service to support your family as a whole. Please refer to our Children, Youth and Families page for a full list of services available.
After hours mental health support
We are here to support you after hours too through our After Hours Mental Health Nursing Service. Available outside standard business hours, on weekends and even on public holidays, this service provides:
Someone to listen to your needs and concerns
