Cardiac Counselling Clinic

Your generous support has enabled us to provide specialist support through our Cardiac Counselling Clinic for people experiencing psychological and behavioural challenges following their heart event. This specialist service is the only one of its kind in Australia.

Teleheart

Teleheart is a telephone-delivered program designed to support behavioural and emotional recovery. Session duration is 20-45 minutes. The telephone sessions are delivered by expert cardiac lifestyle counsellors.

With your support of the program, we are able to offer our counselling at no cost to our clients.

Cardiac Emotions Study

In this study we are assessing a broad range of psychological, social and behavioural symptoms of cardiac emotions. We will report on the prevalence and severity of these symptoms in a sample of up to 350 cardiac event survivors, and will investigate the relationship of these symptoms to commonly assessed constructs such as anxiety, depression and quality of life, as well as a set of emotional thermometers.
