Performance psychology

These individual sessions are designed for people wanting to enhance their performance and /or wellbeing. We work with individuals with a focus on sport, such as athletes, coaches or training staff.

These sessions are not intended for anyone with current mental health issues (see mental health in sport), so Medicare rebates do not apply. Sessions can be paid for individually or as a package (e.g. for employees).

These individual or couple psychology sessions are designed for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of people with mental health issues (e.g., depression, anxiety, excessive stress or worry) as a result of a mental illness or due to life events (e.g., bereavement, relationship breakdown, job loss, accident, injury, trauma, relocation or retirement).

Referral is usually via your doctor (GP) or psychiatrist but you can also self-refer. Medicare rebates apply if you doctor refers you on a mental health care plan. Private health rebates may apply – check with your health care fund.

Profiling

The Mind Rooms offers psychological profiling of players and staff. Profiling equips the management or leadership team with information on the individual’s strengths, helps to understand how to best manage them, what kind of team environment they would thrive in and what characteristics they are going to bring to the team or organisation.

This profiling includes Assessment of:

Personality – Highlights character strengths of the individual relevant to team or individual sport
Emotional Intelligence – Measures awareness of emotions and responses, how one adapts or adjusts, and how one responds to stressors and other people
Values and Motivational Inventory – To understand what is important to each individual and what drives them
Cognitive Processing – How quickly individuals will be able to understand, process and utilise new information
