Psychology support in Barwon Heads
There isn't always one obvious reason to see a psychologist. You might know exactly what you want help with, or you may simply have noticed that things haven't felt quite right for a while.
You might be worrying more than usual, struggling with motivation, feeling overwhelmed by work or family responsibilities, dealing with relationship difficulties or finding that something from the past is still affecting you.
You don't need to work out exactly what is going on before booking an appointment.
Your psychologist will spend time understanding what has been happening, how it is affecting your everyday life and what you would like to change. From there, you can work together on an approach that suits you.
Anxiety
Anxiety can involve constant worrying, physical tension, panic symptoms, difficulty switching off or avoiding situations because of how they make you feel.
Stress & burnout
Work, family responsibilities, caring for others and major life changes can build up over time and become difficult to manage on your own.
What can a psychologist help with?
Our psychologists support people experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges.
Depression
You may feel persistently low, lose interest in things you normally enjoy, struggle with motivation or simply feel unlike yourself.
Grief & loss
Psychological support can help you navigate grief following bereavement, relationship changes and other significant losses.
Trauma & PTSD
Difficult experiences can continue to affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships and physical responses long after the event itself.
Relationships & life changes
You may want support with relationship difficulties, separation, family changes, work, identity or adjusting to a different stage of life.
In-person psychologist appointments in Barwon Heads
If you prefer seeing your psychologist face to face, Psych Sami & Co. offers in-person appointments in Barwon Heads.

Prefer an online appointment?
Online psychology appointments are also available.
This can be useful if getting away from work is difficult, you have family commitments, travelling is inconvenient or you simply feel more comfortable speaking from home.
You'll still work directly with your psychologist to understand what's happening, discuss your goals and develop strategies that are relevant to you.
Psychological assessments and diagnosis
Psych Sami & Co. also provides psychological assessments for people wanting greater clarity around their symptoms or a possible mental health diagnosis.
Assessments are available for conditions including Adult ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, PTSD and other personality disorders.
The assessment process can include clinical interviews, validated assessment tools and discussion of how your experiences affect different parts of your life.
The aim isn't simply to attach a label. It's to build a clearer understanding of what may be happening and what treatment, support or further evaluation may be useful.
