Life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. Whether it’s a sudden change, lingering anxiety, family conflict or feeling burnt out beyond recognition - sometimes, we all need a little help finding our footing again. That’s where professional support can make a real difference.
At Calm Minds Clinic, our Psychologists and Counsellors work with people from all walks of life. You don’t need to have it “all figured out” before reaching out. In fact, that’s often where the real work begins.
Geelong Counsellor or Psychologist: How to Know Which One You Need
Many people who contact us say things like:
“I don’t know if I need a Psychologist or a Counsellor.”
“I’m overwhelmed, but I don’t know what to say.”
“I’ve tried therapy before, but it didn’t feel like the right fit.”
Let’s clear a few things up.
👉 Psychologists are trained to support you with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma grief or neurodivergence. They can offer assessment, diagnosis and evidence-based therapeutic strategies.
👉 Counsellors help you explore emotions, relationships, transitions and patterns in a safe, non-judgemental space. It's ideal if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or simply need someone in your corner.
At Calm Minds Clinic, we have both - registered Psychologists and Counsellors. Based in Geelong, we also offer telehealth across Victoria, so you can access support no matter where you are.
