frequently asked questions

  • Yes — you can book an appointment without a referral. However, if you wish to access Medicare rebates, you’ll need a referral from a GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician (e.g., a Mental Health Treatment Plan).

    Feel free to get in touch and let us know what you’re looking for, and we can guide you through the options.

  • Medicare rebates can be accessed through the Better Access initiative - your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician can prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan, providing rebates for up to 10 sessions per year, with a review after the first 6. If you have a chronic medical condition, a GP may also refer you under a Chronic Condition Management Plan, which allows up to 5 allied health sessions annually. For autism and other neurodevelopmental assessments, rebates may be available when your paediatrician or psychiatrist refers under that specific Medicare item.

  • We take a client-centred approach, meaning therapy is tailored to you, your goals, and your circumstances. Your psychologist will first spend time understanding your concerns through a thorough assessment and discernment phase before discussing an approach with you. Depending on your needs, therapy may draw on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), and psychodynamic therapy.
