TELEHEALTH SERVICES
The impacts of social distancing and fears of contracting COVID-19 can seriously affect our mental health.
People who live alone, or in cramped conditions with many others, or have pre-existing mental health problems
are particularly at risk of mental health issues. And social distancing, in some form or another,
is expected to continue for several more weeks before we get on top of the problem.
Common mental health symptoms associated with physical distancing from friends and family can include:
-
Feelings of tension
-
Worry and dread
-
Irritability and anger
-
Feelings of isolation or loneliness
-
Restlessness
-
Poor concentration
-
Sleep problems
-
Chronic boredom
-
Low mood and pessimism
The Federal Government has sought to address these emerging issues by expanding the range of services
offered by mental health professionals. This means that all Australians who are eligible to receive services under Medicare
will now be able to access psychological and psychiatric services delivered via telehealth (i.e. videoconference or phone).
The EastCoast Clinic will still offer face-to-face psychology services if this is your preference and you are not in one of the designated risk groups – that is, over 70 years of age, have a medical condition which makes you vulnerable to the impacts
of COVID-19, or are pregnant.
HOW TO ACCESS TELEHEALTH SERVICES
In order to access these telehealth services you will need to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan
and a valid referral from your general practitioner. Once you obtain these, please ring the
Clinic on (02) 9389 5630 for an appointment with one of our expert clinicians.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with adults of all ages, including young adults, to help them overcome the challenges they may be facing, reduce anxiety, depression and stress, and achieve more enjoyment and meaning in life. I work with people who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, challenging circumstances, adjustment to change, relationship issues, work or career-related concerns, issues with self-confidence or self-esteem, or deeper existential issues.
I draw on a number of evidence-based therapy approaches in my work, including approaches that focus more on gaining a practical understanding of what keeps you stuck, and working in practical ways to get unstuck, as well as approaches that involve deeper or longer-term exploration of yourself, your own personal psychology, and your challenges.
My guiding philosophy is that therapy should be both personalised and evidence-based, and underscored by a strong rapport. I strive to ensure that the experience of psychological therapy is one in which you will feel supported, heard, and understood. Together we will develop a better understanding of your problems, and work towards your therapy goals.
