At Torrens House we have two psychologists trained in the use of hypnosis to assist with therapy. Hypnosis seeks to use naturally occurring techniques to assist you to make changes to your thinking or a problematic behaviour. The use of the subconscious mind can assist the development of new thinking habits which in turn produce new, more accurate and helpful emotions, thoughts and behaviours.

Torrens House based in Victor Harbor provides psychological services to some SA government Departments and agencies, local government organisations and private organisations across the southern Fleurieu. Please enquire from your employer how to access your employers’ assistance program.
Our strategy is characterised by a quick response to the expectations and demands of our clients, professional service delivery, as well as developing and implementing practical solutions to issues wherever possible.
We have experienced and highly qualified psychologist who are well equipped to meet the broad demands of both organisations and individuals in the workplace and the wider community.
"On the job" performance depends directly on employees' personal wellbeing. Factors that affect employees' wellbeing impact on their job performance in many ways.
Marital and family problems, stress, workplace conflict, discrimination, emotional problems (among many more factors) can all affect individuals' personal welfare. Problems such as these are the target of the Employee Assistance Program being offered.
Personal crises faced by employees have considerable consequences for the employee themselves, as well as effects that extend to those working around them and to the company itself. We believe that your employees can benefit from an Employee Assistance Program and research has consistently demonstrated the cost-effectiveness of such services for employers.
Aspects of work performance that can be enhanced through the use of our EAP services include:
The Torrens House EAP offers integrated, tailored programs designed to suit the styles and needs of both the company and its individual employees.
Supportive, confidential counselling is provided by appropriately qualified professionals dedicated to helping employees through the problems they experience.
We take pride in our Employee Assistance Program being timely, effective and efficient in meeting the needs of our clients. Whilst the program conforms to the guidelines laid down by the National Association of Employee Assistance Providers, we also endeavour to be innovative in the way in which we deliver and measure the services we provide. The Employee Assistance Program guarantees independence, confidentiality, immediate responsiveness, offer of service within five days and well qualified clinicians with a broad range of skills.
We endeavour to provide our clients with information and strategies to help improve both organisational and individual quality of life.
Our clinicians are very familiar with local industry and community concerns and are well established practitioners in their own right.
We have developed over time an extensive network of other allied health and business professionals who can be called upon to provide their expertise when appropriate. Our approach to resolving psychological issues are highly practical and one that is well regarded by uses of our service.
Effective stress management continues to be of significant concern to individuals and organisations. Torrens House clinicians provide well-researched and practical training programs to groups, as well as support and strategies to those people seeking a more tailored approach to their situation.
Our one-day training program is based upon an “all of person” approach and includes the following modules:
Individual and organisational stress management strategies including:
