Telehealth Clinical Psychology

I am available for telehealth appointments on Tuesdays and Fridays and appointments are made by email. If you let me know your preferred day, time and frequency for sessions I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible with my most suited available times.

All sessions are initially scheduled via telehealth (video) and a phone call will be offered before your first session to ensure we are a good fit and answer any questions prior to commencing sessions.

In some cases, only when clinically necessary, I may suggest that you engage with a psychiatrist in conjunction with our therapy, or that you engage in regular GP reviews to ensure medical stability for outpatient therapy.

If you have interest in outreach (home session / session in community) or walk-and-talk sessions, please let me know so that we can discuss suitability and fees, which will depend on whether clinically indicated (if required for your treatment), location viability and time requirements. Outreach sessions will be reserved for those who require this as part of their treatment and will be offered in conjunction with telehealth sessions.

Fees and Medicare

My fee is $230 per 50 minute session for day time appointments, or $250 for sessions after 4pm.
If you have a concession or pensioner card the session fee is $200 for during the day, or $220 for session after 4pm.
For outreach and walk-and-talk appointments the fee is a set rate of $260 per hour (daytime only), and an additional fee may be required depending on travel distance required.

You do not need a referral to see a psychologist, but with a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you are eligible for a Medicare rebate of $137.05, per session, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

If you are seeking treatment for eating and body image issues, you may be able to receive further access to 20-40 Medicare rebatebale sessions with an Eating Disorder Management Plan from your GP (note you would need a psychiatrist review for >20 sessions). Please let me and your GP or psychiatrist know if you think this may be relevant to you and we can discuss further.

If you have private health insurance you may be able to claim with this instead of, or after using Medicare sessions.

For those with chronic conditions requiring longer-term therapy, a reduced rate following the Medicare rebated sessions may be available.

Third Party Cover

You may have funding through another third-party such as your employer (EAP program), NDIS, TAC, VOCAT, or another provider. Please let me know prior to your first appointment if you have funded sessions, as there may be some paperwork required beforehand to facilitate this.

Getting Started
