What is Psychological Therapy?
Your mental health is precious! We often underestimate the importance of maintaining our mental health and wellbeing, pushing through and hoping everything will be ok. When we do this we can create bigger issues. We like to promote a greater focus on our mental health so we can live our best life and stand in our arena.
Psychological therapy involves working with a qualified and registered psychologist who can support you to better understand your thinking and behaviour in order for you to find a way forward that aligns to your values and needs.
There are several different types of evidence-based therapies, the most common known being cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). At Arena we focus on your needs and tailor our approach to best suit you. We can include psychometric assessment and biofeedback as part of your therapy service: it all depends on your needs and wants.
With all our health services, we initially take the time to get to know you. We know every human is unique and has different needs. We check in regularly along the way to make sure we are supporting you in the best possible way. When you have reached your therapy goals, we wish you all the best and trust you will be better able to stand in your arena.

What is Career Counselling?
Also called vocational counselling, career counselling is a service that supports you to identify the right career path and move towards getting the right job for you. This service is particularly suited to people who are unclear about their career direction, whether they are just starting out on their career path or if they have been working in the same industry for decades.
With all our health services, we initially take the time to get to know you. We know every human is unique and we all have different strengths to offer an employer! That is why we also spend time exploring your strengths and values. Where our customers are really not clear on their path, we follow this with standardised psychometric assessments which are designed to uncover your occupational interests and preferences. We then combine all this information to consider the suitability of the different outcomes and then use online tools to explore the pathway and job market for each option.
Once we are clear on a direction (or two) we can further support you to develop a resume and cover letter that emphasises your strengths and suitability for your chosen career path. If - like most humans - you experience some level of anxiety in interviews, we can take you through tried and tested interview strategies that will help you bring your best self to the table and stand in your arena!

Recreational Group Therapy
Engage in therapy while connecting with nature and other people
There is increasing evidence to support nature having a positive effect on our mental health. Hallelujah we all say. That is why Papernook and Arena Health Solutions are partnering to create recreational therapy groups.
The groups will combine therapy with social activity, creativity and a bit of physical activity. Most importantly, they will be fun! We will be getting out in nature and finding the beauty in the world around us, and sharing our experiences with others.
Watch this space for more details to come. We look forward to sharing our groups with you in early 2021!
In the meantime, you might like to read the magic of photography section below. Enjoy the read and looking at some inspiring photos.

The magic of photography
Our founder, Belinda, is an enthusiast photographer and is passionate about exploring the world through photography. Belinda sees photography as a great mindfulness space, where she can be fully in the moment, noticing the intricate details of a tiny insect, or the details in a beautiful seascape view, or anything in between. It is also great incidental physical activity as you explore.
Exploring the word through photography is infinite. You can take 500 photos of the same object (yes, Belinda does this on often...ask her about her plant George Junior) and each one will be unique: A slightly different angle; different lighting; changing the depth of field; adding and interesting filter; the options are endless. An we haven't even touched on post processing. Each capture represents a different version of the moment and allows you to express your creativity in a way that resonates with you. This is the beauty of photography: mindfulness, physical activity, and nature all intertwine to allow you to channel your creativity.
Below are some of Belinda's photographs. Please remember, this is her hobby and she is not a professional photographer, so enjoy the images for what they are: an expression of her creativity and noticing of the world.
