Frequently Asked Questions

If you have never seen a psychologist before you may be wondering about what happens in treatment. In the first session, we will have an in-depth conversation that focuses on what you are hoping to get help with. Good treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your needs and wants. This takes at least one session but we typically re-assess as we go along. Once we have a detailed understanding of your concerns and goals, we are in a better position to develop a treatment plan for you. The following sessions will involve us working collaboratively on the issues that you most want help with. There is not necessarily a certain number of sessions that are required to treat a given condition. So, our approach is flexible, and we are guided by your progress and personal circumstances when booking sessions.

We are able to see clients funded by Medicare with a current and valid Mental Health Care Plan, WorkCover, TAC, NDIS, DVA, private health insurance or clients paying privately.

Please contact your private health insurer to determine your out-of-pocket expense. Full payment is required on the day. An invoice will be emailed to you.

We can process Medicare rebates on your behalf. Please bring your Mental Health Care Plan to your first appointment.

Standard consultation fee (roughly 50 minute consultation): $220

Extended EMDR consultation fee (roughly 80 minute consultation): $310

Fees are the same for online and face-to-face sessions.

We aim to provide the best possible care to all of our clients. We know that you will get the most benefit if you attend your appointments as agreed with your psychologist. However, we understand that you may need to cancel or postpone an appointment.

We ask that you provide 24 hours notice if you cannot attend your scheduled appointment as cancellations have a flow-on effect in that other clients waiting to be seen may miss out.

If less than 24 hours notice is given, you will be charged $100 for the missed appointment.

Repeated cancellations may result in the termination of sessions.

Please note that cancellation fees cannot be claimed through Medicare.
