Appointments
Appointments are for 50 minutes.
Session start times are generally 9am-4pm, but some 8am and 5pm start times are available.
Online (Telehealth) appointments are available.
At your first appointment, I will aim to get a good understanding of your concerns. I will then share my thoughts, get your feedback and create a basic plan with you (at this or the next appointment, depending on time).
It is important to complete the Intake Form that will be emailed to you, as soon as possible before your first session.
Please click the contact button to share your concerns and availability. I will respond to book an appointment or ask for further information.
Fees
Fees are $260 per 50 minute session.
Fees are charged automatically after each appointment.
It is important that you complete your credit card details (and Medicare details for automatic processing of rebates, if relevant) before your first appointment, and keep these updated.
Cancellations
Please advise before 9am, 2 business days before your appointment if you need to cancel, (e.g., by Monday 9am if your appointment is on Wednesday, or by Thursday 9am if your appointment is on Monday).
You can advise by text, email or phone if you need to cancel your appointment.
You can also convert your appointment to an online/ phone (Telehealth) appointment by request.
If you do not give this notice, the full fee will be charged as a cancellation fee. Medicare rebates do not apply to cancellation fees.
Referrals and Rebates
Private appointments
You do not need a referral to see a psychologist privately.
Medicare appointments
To claim a Medicare rebate, you need a valid referral from your GP. In this case, please see your regular GP to obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral before your appointment.
You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate on up to 10 psychology sessions per year.
