ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

Following initial training and practice in Social Work followed by acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, Meredith combines these two disciplines to focus on a mind-body approach to work with individuals to better manage anxiety and depression and certain conditions represented within the physical body.

Counselling services are offered with a focus on mind-body awareness and connection to address issues that may have a connection with the body that are affecting the state of our mind, and vise versa.  As it is said, the mind reflects the body and the body reflects the mind.  Focus on both mind and body can be an empowering way to address issues of anxiety and depression, leading individuals to better understand and manage their mental and emotional health and in turn, strengthen their physical well-being.

Meredith provides counselling as a private service or as part of the Better Access to Mental Health Care Plan obtained from a General Practitioner (Medicare rebates available).  The structure of the counselling program is generally covered in the six to ten sessions allocated by GP’s.

Meredith is a registered IVF Fertility Counsellor for Ballarat IVF and provides support for patients at all stages of their treatment process: before, during and after treatment.
