Psychology and Therapy
People often come to therapy wanting answers. More often than not, what they need first is a better question
Together we make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, untangle what's keeping you stuck, and work out what genuinely deserves your attention. Sometimes that means learning practical skills. Sometimes it means processing old experiences. Sometimes it means recognising that the way you've been trying to solve the problem has become part of the problem.
Fees
Private Therapy
You do not need a referral to access psychological therapy. Choosing to attend privately allows therapy to be guided by your needs, goals and circumstances rather than the boundaries of a funding model. You don’t need to be in crisis, or meet a diagnostic threshold for a mental health condition, to benefit from thoughtful, supported exploration and skill building.
-
Standard Private Consultation (50 minutes) – $280
-
Depth-Oriented Consultation (90 minutes) – $495
The Australian Psychological Society currently recommends a fee of $318 for a standard 46–60 minute psychology consultation. My fee has been intentionally set below this recommended rate to help make high-quality psychological care more accessible. Payment is required at the time of your appointment.
Medicare Rebates
Medicare is one way of accessing psychological care, but it doesn't define who can benefit from therapy or how therapy should unfold. Some people attend more frequently for a period of time, while others continue beyond the available rebates.
If however, you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and referral from your GP (or psychiatrist or paediatrician), you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $101.55 per session.
-
Standard MHTP Consultation (50 minutes) – $178.45
Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year, with an initial referral for six sessions followed by a GP review if additional sessions are clinically appropriate. Unused sessions do not carry over into the following calendar year.
Your rebate can be processed immediately following your appointment and is typically deposited directly into your nominated bank account by Medicare generally in 1-2 business days.
If you need more immediate support
Please note, this is not a crisis service and messages are not continuously monitored.
If you’re in acute distress or concerned about your safety, more immediate support is important. Reach out to Lifeline (13 11 14), the Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467), 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732), or visit your nearest emergency department who can assist.
