Frequently Asked Questions

Fee for a 55 min session is $190.00 with a Medicare rebate of $136.35. This depends on obtaining a referral from your GP.  This rebate is available for the first 10 sessions.  If more sessions are required, and this is often the case, there is provision to renegotiate the fee. Some private health insurers provide a modest rebate for psychological services. There is no GST payable for therapy sessions.

The best plan is to have an initial phone conversation and then set up a meeting to discuss your current concerns. You will then hopefully have sufficient information to make a decision whether to proceed

Certainly you are free to discontinue consultations, but it is sometimes wise to have a conversation with the therapist first to see whether that is the best course of action and to understand the reasons for discontinuing.

An initial appointment can usually be organised within a fortnight.

As I am not a medical practitioner, I am not able to prescribe medication. That responsibility remains with your GP or psychiatrist.
