Leongatha Health & Caring

Banksia Health Care offers counselling and psychological services, with highly qualified and experienced psychologists Debbie Birkett and Ray Saunders. We lived and worked in Gippsland for over twenty two years, and in South Gippsland for twelve years.

We conduct confidential counselling for men and women, children and adolescents, seniors, couples and families. We also do assessments and reports for court.

Our consulting rooms are private and very pleasant, with on-site and street parking.

Some common issues we help address are:

• stress
• anxiety
• depression
• marriage and relationships
• work stress

• trauma
• grief
• bereavement
• anger management
• sexual abuse
• assaults
• work-life balance, and
• careers.

We offer seminars and workshops on a range of topics, for community groups and agencies, business and industry. Several agencies have a visiting service with us, and we have consulting rooms to rent to appropriate health services.

We service business and industry, including:

• counselling
• debriefing
• supervision
• performance appraisal
• injury management

Fees are charged for all services, with discounts for low income. Couple or long sessions cost extra, while group programs are a cost-effective way to receive psychological service. Some clients are eligible for specific funded programs.
