Welcome to Wellness Through Health 

We assist people to stabilise and then rebound when experiencing mental health issues, health issues or a cancer diagnosis by combining psychological tools with a wellness approach to life.

Through this, we help people to strive towards their goals in life and achieve an optimal state of wellbeing. This can include physical and mental health, social engagement in life, having a purpose in life and undertaking meaningful activities. We want to help people move from a state of existing to a state of living and thriving, being the best version of themselves they can be.

We currently provide 4 service streams: Cancer Support Services, Wellness Approach to Living, Clinical Psychology Services and Home based Physiotherapy Services.
