Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

EAP allowances for 3 to 6 sessions can help employees develop their coping skills, build resilience and self-awareness, and reduce the impacts of work-related stress with confidential, short-term, solution-focused counselling, when they need it.

Desert Minds has EAP arrangements in place with numerous local organisations – please call Administration on 0499 898 332 to check your EAP status. Clients under a confirmed EAP with Desert Minds Pty Ltd may book sessions online, here: https://my.powerdiary.com/clientportal/eap-only

Please note, we have some amazing locally-based Practice Team members who will be available for appointments in the 2nd quarter of 2024.  Practice Team Profiles, coming soon!

Counselling & Supervision

Everyone experiences psychological distress at various times in our lives. In central Australia, the availability of a trauma-informed, person-centred counselling practice is essential to the physical and psychological safety, and emotional wellbeing, of all who live and work here.

Desert Minds also offers professional supervision support for individuals and groups, working in the mental health field or similar.

Whether it’s a work-related conflict, mental health issue, or a relationship crisis, Desert Minds offers competitive rates for private individuals, couples, and families seeking counselling support or dispute resolution, outside of EAP services.
