Chronic Pain & Health Psychology Support on the Central Coast & throughout NSW
Are you struggling to move forward with a Health Condition, Injury, or Chronic Pain?
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.
Our Health & Pain Support Plans
-
Our tailored telehealth plan is designed to help you build early momentum and see whether our approach is the right fit.
We provide a Free 15-minute introductory call, followed by four initial sessions at a reduced out-of-pocket cost (~$49 per session, usually ~$84) for eligible Medicare clients. Clients can utilise up to ten Medicare sessions per year if required.
This can be particularly helpful if you’re unsure whether psychological support will make a difference, or haven’t worked with a Psychologist before.
-
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 (Depression Support)
Stress, anxiety, panic, or health-related worry (Anxiety-related support)
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.)
