Frequently asked questions.

  • Unfortunately psychotherapists and counsellors are not yet covered by Medicare rebates and the Mental Health Care Plan Scheme. 

    But I have designed my prices to be comparable with other mental health professionals like psychologists even after the rebate has been applied. 

    Additionally, since the Medicare rebate is only valid for a certain number of sessions, any additional sessions would be at full price if you wanted to continue seeing a practitioner who offers the rebate. In the long run, therefore, seeing me is probably less expensive than seeing practitioners who do offer the rebate.

  • 24 hours notice of cancellation is required, otherwise 50% of the session fee will be charged.
