Product Description

Latrobe Community Health Service offers services to help improve your mental health, through talking about your problems with qualified counsellors, or by connecting you to other services which can help.
Talking to a counsellor can greatly help in dealing with a major life event, stress, or coping with an illness. Generalist counselling sessions usually last for up to an hour and can help you learn to communicate more effectively, relieve stress and help you change unwanted behaviour. Within our Generalist Counselling service you can receive up to 12 counselling sessions.
There is also a special counselling service for pregnant women, or women who have been pregnant in the past 12 months. The psychologist can give you pregnancy-related information and resources, and tell you about the support services available to you. If you have a GP referral, you can be bulk-billed for up to three counselling sessions.
If you feel your issues are more long-term in nature, seeing a psychologist can help, especially if you are dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma and grief. Usually, psychologists work closely with your doctor to ensure you have a comprehensive management plan. Clients with a long-term mental health issue who have a GP mental health plan can also be bulk-billed for up to 10 visits.
