Health & Chronic Pain Psychology Support

When your body isn’t functioning the way it used to, it can affect far more than your physical health. Stress levels, mood, confidence, relationships, and the ability to live the life you want can all be affected.

Health & Pain Support Plans

  • We provide a Free 10-minute introductory call, in which you can discuss your current health concerns, the impact this has had on your life, activities, and relationships, and clarify your eligibility for Medicare-funded treatment.

    Treatment that addresses Health & Pain is subsidised, with a reduced gap fee of $66 (normally $91). This reflects that many clients have a number of medical appointments and costs to maintain, and our desire to make psychology support accessible and affordable.

  • We support individuals navigating rehabilitation through Workers Compensation, CTP, or other insurance claims.

    We have experience working alongside GPs, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and other specialists to support coordinated, goal-focused recovery.

    Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your situation, claim details, and whether our support may be helpful.

  • We tailor support to each individual and their circumstances. This may include addressing pain, fatigue, functioning, and capacity, as well as mood, stress, anxiety, relationships, and work-related challenges.

    Our work typically focuses on two key areas:

    1. Practical strategies to support improvements in health, pain, fatigue, and day-to-day functioning

    2. Psychological support to address underlying factors such as mood, stress, and adjustment - often helping to create broader, longer-term improvements

How do Health Problems or Chronic Pain affect Mental Health?

Everything in life can come to a grinding halt when our health and well-being is suffering.

When your body is under constant strain, it can take a toll on your energy, emotions, focus, functional capacity, and overall resilience - making everyday life feel harder to manage. Over time, this can lead to:

  • Depression, low mood, grief, and loss of motivation

  • Stress, anxiety, panic, or health-related worry

  • Trauma-related responses - especially for accidents or life-threatening health events

  • Anger, frustration, and irritability at self and others

  • Changes to identity and sense of self

  • Reduced confidence in work, study, relationships, or social roles

Psychological support can help you better understand these responses, develop practical coping strategies, and regain confidence.

Our therapeutic approach is guided by current research and treatment guidelines. We aim to:

  • Provide skills & strategies to cope with health challenges and pain when they occur in day-to-day life

  • Offer support to improve functioning and return to valued activities

  • Offer support with lifestyle changes, including sleep, diet, and movement

  • Address the thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to low mood, stress, and anxiety

  • Support for common co-occuring difficulties (e.g., depression, stress, anxiety, relational/family support etc.)

We provide services suitable for various Health Conditions, including:

  • Chronic Fatigue and Energy-Limiting Conditions

  • Chronic Pain

  • Recovery & Rehabilitation from a serious accident

  • Cardiovascular and Respiratory conditions - particularly when anxiety and breathing/heart-rate symptoms have emerged

  • Adjustment to Neurological Conditions (e.g., Stroke, MS or Parkinson’s disease) when functioning and capacity have been affected

  • Cancer and life-threatening illness

  • Gastrointestinal conditions (e.g., IBS)
