Thinking Together Psychotherapy and Counselling are passionate about offering counselling and support to employees engaged in the health and helping occupations
Employers know that providing psychological support to their team is helpful for so many reasons—both for the employee personally, and by extension, for the workplace and the quality of services offered.
The Thinking Together team offers a personal and in-depth understanding of the complexities associated with working with vulnerable client populations. Our work is based on an approach that acknowledges the deeply rewarding nature of working in the health and helping field, but also recognises the potential for increased risk of stress, emotional burnout and vicarious trauma associated with working in this field.
About EAP for Health Professionals
Health employees sometimes need to take a deep breath and follow their own sound advice that they would give to those that they support. This relates to advice on the importance of self-care and accessing psychological support when needed. Health professionals also need to have access to a safe and reflective space to consider the complexities of their work, and to grow and develop professionally. Accessing this important form of support can sometimes be delayed longer than is ideal for these professionals because they often work in busy and demanding roles.
We provide support for employees on a preventative basis to assist with long-standing stressors or in situations where an incident or circumstance has occurred that may be considered as acutely stressful.
Australia wide SUPPORT
We provide a counselling service that enhances accessibility and flexibility for health employees located all over Australia.
Consultations are offered face to face (Blackburn North, Victoria), or via telehealth . Prior to the scheduled appointment, the employee is sent an SMS or email providing the necessary details to attend the session

Typically, we offer support for employees working in the fields of:
Allied Health

Individual counselling
We offer short- to medium-term individual counselling for a wide range of workplace and personal difficulties. Typically, employees attend between 3-6 sessions with employees with additional needs being supported to access additional supports as appropriate to their needs.
Critical incident support
We offer support for employees who have been involved in a critical incident at work. A critical incident can be broadly defined as an event or series of events that are experienced as sudden, prolonged, distressing, unexpected, overwhelming or threatening.
As well as offering initial support, we also offer follow-up over the weeks after the event to make sure that the difficulty has been processed emotionally.
