Your Questions, Answered.

What is the difference between Nurse Administered Therapy and TMS?

These services are provided under relevant regulatory frameworks and specialist clinical governance.

Both TMS and Nurse-administered therapy may be considered for some people experiencing ongoing low mood, but the programs differ in terms of cost, time commitment, and patient eligibility.

If you’re exploring support for your mental health, our team can help you understand the available options and guide you on next steps.

 

GoodMind Therapeutic’s clinician-guided programs are generally designed for:

  • Adults experiencing ongoing mental health symptoms or chronic conditions, especially those who haven’t found relief with previous treatments.
  • Those who have not responded to previous interventions or are seeking additional support.

To confirm eligibility, you can start by filling out the screening form. Requirements may vary depending on the program.

You can start by completing our screening form, which helps determine whether our clinician-guided programs may be a good fit for your needs. Once we receive your form, one of our clinical team members will contact you to discuss your mental health history and assess your eligibility.

Low moods are a natural part of life, and for many people, they’re temporary and manageable. However, for up to 47% of Australians, persistent low mood can be part of a broader mental health challenge that significantly impacts daily life. It can look different for everyone, but common experiences include:
  • A loss of motivation or interest in things you once enjoyed
  • Difficulty focusing or completing tasks
  • Feeling isolated or disconnected from others

Treatment options may include prescription medicines. This would be determined by a specialist psychiatrist following assessment. We are unable to advertise prescription medicines directly.

The best results come from the best support. Meet our professionals.
