Counselling & Psychotherapy

Counselling and Psychotherapy offer a range of positive benefits that can improve and enhance your life. All sessions are provided in a confidential setting where you will be encouraged and supported to express yourself freely and without judgement. The emphasis is to assist you in understanding your thoughts and feelings and how they may impact on your behaviour and then learn productive ways to deal with them in a way that is most helpful to you.

Depending on the nature of your referral, you will either be referred for counselling or psychotherapy: Counselling is more likely to help with a specific difficulty, current problem or surface issue. An example might include a bereavement or a difficulty that is not necessarily ingrained in the past. Psychotherapy however is more likely to help with more deep-rooted difficulties that affects a client's life.

Counselling and Psychotherapy for individuals involve working across various areas of mental health, such as:

·       Depression

·       Anxiety

·       Bipolar disorder

·       Obsessive-compulsive disorder

·       Post-traumatic stress disorder

·       Dissociation and dissociative disorders

·       Personality disorder

·       Psychosis

·       Paranoia

Fees

Fees depend on an individual’s financial situation and can be discussed during the booking process. Rebates can be claimed through Medicare, reducing your out-of-pocket costs.

If you receive a Mental Health Care Plan with a referral from your General Practitioner or Psychiatrist, you are entitled to a Medicare rebate for 10 sessions in a calendar year. Your referring Doctor, in consultation with your Psychologist, will assess your progress after the first 6 sessions and, if needed, arrange for you to access an additional 4 sessions. If your health expenses are likely to strain your budget for the year, you can contact Medicare to request placement on the Medicare Safety Net, which may allow further rebates.
