What to expect in a session

Our clinicians will help you by listening and talking to you about what's going on and what you are wanting to get out of the session with us. They may ask you questions about your safety, emotions and thoughts, how you’ve been feeling recently, and other questions about your supports, hobbies and interests.

We concentrate on what you want most out of your session. This session may be all you need, or you may want to come back again to continue to build on what you have been working on, or for another reason. The more information that you provide eheadspace, the more our clinicians can help you.

Our average session time is between 30 and 40 minutes. 

What can you talk about? 

You can talk about anything related to mental health and wellbeing, there is no set topics or criteria, it's completely up to you. To give you an idea, here's a few common topics we talk about:

• • If you are having a tough time, feeling sad or down
  • feeling worried or stressed
  • communication difficulties, such as not feeling heard or understood
  • problems with family, partners or friends
  • wanting support related to sexuality or identity
  • thoughts of self-harm or suicide
  • concerns about alcohol or other drugs
  • issues with sleep
  • grief and loss 

   

Please note, we can't diagnose mental health illnesses, however we can answer questions or concerns you may have.
