What We Help With

EAP counselling can support a wide range of work-related and personal concerns that impact performance and wellbeing, including:

  • Workplace stress, burnout and change fatigue

  • Conflict, communication and boundary difficulties

  • Anxiety, depression or low motivation

  • Adjustment after illness, injury or return-to-work changes

  • Family or relationship issues affecting work

  • Managing workload, deadlines and performance pressure

  • Supporting employees after critical incidents or organisational change

What’s Included

Your EAP counselling may include:

  • confidential, one-to-one sessions with a registered psychologist

  • short-term, goal-focused therapy (typically 3–6 sessions)

  • practical strategies to manage stress, mood and workplace pressures

  • support with communication, boundaries and problem-solving at work

  • guidance on work–life balance and self-care

  • flexible appointment options: in-person, telehealth or telephone (depending on your program)

What to Expect from Therapy

EAP counselling is brief, structured and focused on your work and wellbeing goals. In your initial session, your psychologist will explore your concerns, clarify priorities and agree on a plan for the limited number of sessions available. Ongoing sessions focus on building awareness, developing coping skills and identifying realistic changes at work and home. Sessions are confidential except where safety or legal obligations apply, and information is not shared with your employer without your consent.

Benefits

Potential benefits of EAP counselling include:

  • improved ability to manage workplace stress and pressure

  • clearer communication and boundaries with colleagues and managers

  • increased confidence, focus and productivity

  • better work–life balance and self-care routines

  • support during periods of organisational or personal change

Fees / Funding

EAP sessions are usually pre-approved and funded by your employer or EAP provider, and a GP referral is not required. If your workplace does not offer EAP, you can access counselling privately. In some situations, other pathways such as Medicare, WorkCover, insurer-funded or other schemes may be available depending on your circumstances and eligibility. Your psychologist can guide you on the most appropriate option.

How to Access Support

If your workplace has an EAP provider, you can usually obtain a referral or approval code through your HR team, manager or the EAP service directly. Once you have approval, contact iflow Psychology to arrange an appointment and let us know your EAP details. If you do not have access to an EAP program, you are welcome to book as a private client and we can discuss other funding options where relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide crisis support?

We provide therapeutic support but not emergency crisis services. If your family is currently in crisis, please visit our Crisis Support page for immediate assistance or contact emergency services if there is immediate risk.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

Families often seek therapy when communication becomes difficult, conflict escalates, changes feel overwhelming, or when a child’s wellbeing is impacted. If challenges are affecting daily life or relationships, professional support can provide clarity and direction.

Can separated or blended families attend together?

Yes. Therapy can support co-parenting, transitions, strengthening communication between households, and helping children adjust to change. Sessions are structured to ensure emotional safety for everyone involved.

What issues can family therapy help with?

Family therapy supports a wide range of concerns, including communication breakdowns, parent–child conflict, separation or blended family transitions, emotional or behavioural concerns in children, grief, trauma, and stress affecting family functioning.

Do we need a GP referral for family therapy?

No referral is required. However, some family-focused sessions may be eligible for Medicare rebates when the work aligns with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. We can advise you on the best pathway before your first appointment.

Is family therapy confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential within the limits of Australian law and professional standards. Your psychologist will explain how confidentiality works in family therapy, including how information is managed when multiple family members attend sessions.

Can children or teenagers attend family therapy?

Yes. Children and adolescents often play an important role in the family system. Sessions can include children directly, or involve parent-only consultations depending on the child’s age, developmental stage, and presenting concerns.

Do you offer telehealth family therapy?

Yes. We provide secure telehealth sessions for families across NSW. Telehealth can be useful for families with busy schedules, separated households, or when multiple members are joining from different locations.

How many sessions do families usually need?

Most families attend between 6–8 sessions, depending on the concerns, goals, and willingness of members to participate. Some families benefit from short-term support, while others choose longer-term work to address more complex patterns.

What happens during a family therapy session?

Family therapy sessions involve guided conversations that help family members understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and work through patterns contributing to conflict or distress. The psychologist will structure the session around the family’s goals and may meet with the whole family together or with individuals when clinically appropriate.
