Once you begin your personalised program at our residential rehab centre in Essendon, you’ll have access to meaningful, professional therapy. Whether you're navigating addiction, trauma, or emotional overwhelm, we’ll meet you where you are and walk with you toward change.
This rehab program is for individuals seeking support with substance use, trauma, or mental health, whether they’re in early recovery, post-rehab, or simply need structured emotional support.
Counselling gives you the space to talk, learn, and heal. You’ll work with a specialist to build healthy coping strategies, address triggers, and strengthen your emotional well-being.
Sessions are led by experienced therapists using proven approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. We focus on what works and tailor everything to your goals and needs.
You’ll have access to flexible, professional care designed to fit around your life with guidance, insight, and practical tools to help you feel more stable and in control.
Our counselling program is designed to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right. While every journey is different, most clients experience four key stages of growth and support.
We begin with a thoughtful conversation to understand your history, needs, and goals. From there, we create a therapy plan tailored to your life, your challenges, and your pace.
You’ll meet regularly with a dedicated therapist using proven approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. Sessions focus on insight, coping skills, and emotional regulation.
When appropriate, we involve family or loved ones in sessions to help rebuild trust, communication, and support networks that strengthen recovery.
We support you in stepping into life with more confidence, stability, and emotional independence, with options for ongoing care if you’d like to continue.
Not all counselling services offer the same depth of expertise or flexibility. At the Hader Clinic, we deliver specialist addiction and trauma therapy through an accessible, supportive model, helping you build real change without barriers or judgement.

Whether you're insured, self-funding, or in need of financial assistance, we’ll help you find a way forward. Our counselling program is designed to be flexible, and so are our payment options.
Self-funding gives you immediate access to our counselling services with full control over your schedule and session type. You can book in-person or online appointments with no referrals needed, and choose from single sessions or discounted packages for ongoing care.
Many private health funds (including Bupa, Medibank and others) cover a portion of counselling costs under extras or outpatient mental health services. Our team can help you confirm your benefits and maximise your rebates.
You may be eligible for fully funded outpatient counselling if you hold a DVA Gold or White Card. We’ve worked with veterans and first responders for years, and understand the complexity of trauma recovery and reintegration.
We believe quality care should be available to everyone. If you’re experiencing financial hardship, we may be able to offer reduced rates or connect you with community funding pathways.

Counselling is about building emotional resilience, clarity, and strength that lasts. Most clients report feeling more grounded, more regulated, and better equipped to manage life’s challenges after just a few sessions.
Our AOD-qualified counsellors and psychologists offer trauma-informed therapy grounded in compassion and best practice. Sessions are delivered in line with the NSQHS Standards under the guidance of the ACSQHC, ensuring safe, ethical, and effective support at every stage of your recovery.
We look beyond symptoms. Our counselling focuses on the full picture — your mind, body, relationships, and routines — to help you find balance, build resilience, and feel more like yourself again.
Our counsellors are deeply experienced in trauma, addiction, and mental health. But just as important is how they show up: with honesty, empathy, and genuine respect for your journey.
In-person counselling is available at our Ocean Grove office, a calm and welcoming space designed for focused therapeutic work. Can’t make it in? Our secure online platform allows you to access the same expert care from wherever you are, with the flexibility to suit your schedule and lifestyle.

Our counselling and support services are designed to assist with a range of challenges related to alcohol and other drug use, trauma, mental health, and family dynamics. We work with individuals and families who may be affected by alcohol, struggling with addictive behaviour, or experiencing the impact of long-term emotional stress.
We require a minimum of four counselling sessions, but many clients choose to continue for longer depending on their needs. Each person’s goals are different, and your counsellor will provide guidance and advice as part of an ongoing treatment plan that evolves with your progress.
You’ll work with experienced counsellors and therapists specialising in addiction treatment, trauma, and mental health. Many are based in Victoria and bring deep knowledge of local resources, including helpline and harm reduction strategies, particularly for those navigating alcohol or drug concerns.
Yes, absolutely. We offer family counselling and support to help rebuild relationships, improve communication, and support recovery together. Sessions can include loved ones who have been affected by alcohol or drug-related behaviour.
That’s completely okay. Counselling is confidential, and you set the pace. Many clients begin by exploring the immediate effects of their health condition or emotional overwhelm, and gradually feel safe enough to address deeper issues.
We support long-term recovery by helping clients build emotional regulation skills, create healthier relationships, and develop harm reduction strategies. Whether you’re exiting a residential program or starting with outpatient support, counselling helps you maintain stability beyond alcohol or drug rehabilitation.
Your first session is a chance to talk about what’s brought you here and what you’d like support with. You’ll meet one-on-one with a counsellor, explore your goals, and begin building a therapy plan. It’s a relaxed, respectful space — designed to make you feel safe and heard.
Yes. We offer daytime, evening, and weekend appointments, including remote sessions. Whether you're based in regional Victoria or in the city, our counselling is designed to fit around your life — not disrupt it.
