Have questions?

If you don't find the answer here, feel free to reach out to me at 0490 081 288

Is a referral from a GP needed?

No, as I am accessed privately, you can simply contact me directly

How much does it cost?

Individual client sessions are between $60 and $120, depending on the length of the counselling session.

Are my values and beliefs respected?

Yes, absolutely! As a counsellor, I provide a non-judgmental environment where particular attention is focused on your emotional safety and support, and provide unconditional positive regard for you as an individual.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required will be dependent on you and how you respond to counselling. It is safe to say that it is unusual that one single session will bring about enough change, but it often becomes apparent when you don’t need counselling anymore

Is everything I tell you confidential?

Sessions are conducted in strict confidentiality, and at the first counselling session, I will explain the terms fully and answer any questions. In addition, this also applies to all conversations outside of a counselling session, e.g., booking appointment,s etc...

Is there a long waiting list? Are there appointment times available after hours?

There is not usually a long wait, especially if you have daytime availability during the week. Evenings are available, but they often get booked up in advance.

Are appointments in-person or virtual?

I now see most clients virtually, as it seems convenient for them. However, you can still choose to see me at my office.

Can I access you as part of my mental health plan negotiated with my GP?

Counsellors are not covered by Medicare rebates. This means that you receive counselling as a private client. However, some private health funds will provide rebates depending on your fund and eligibility. Some of these have given me provider numbers based on my membership of the Australian Counselling Association.
