Individual Therapy Session Structure
In your first session, I will ask about your current challenges, psychosocial landscape and background. I will also get a sense of the elements of your life that are helpful and protective. In the sessions following, I will provide talk therapy and in some cases EMDR therapy.
Couples Therapy Session Structure
In your first session both members of couple be present. I’ll gather information about current challenges, relationship strengths, the story of your relationship, relationship dynamics and current goals for therapy.
In some instances, I will meet with each member of the couple individually to gather more information during the assessment period.
After the assessment, we will agree to therapeutic goals, a treatment plan and begin regular sessions. Or in some cases, I’ll make a referral to another service.
Session length
Each therapeutic session is 50 minutes duration.
Individual Session Fee
$240 per session. A General Practitioner (GP) provided Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) will allow you to claim a Medicare rebate of $96.65 per session for 10 session per year. You will need to see your GP for a MHCP review at 6 sessions.
Couples Session Fee
$260 per session. Medicare rebates cannot be claimed for couples therapy.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please let me know via email or contact Wellspace. A fee of $100 will be charged for less than 48 hours notice and full fee for less than 24 hours notice. There are no Medicare or private health rebates to cover cancellation fees.
Couples therapy requires both members of couple to be present, therefore if one member is more than 10min late the full fee will need to be charged as a late cancellation.

(a) with your consent or a person with legal authority to act on your behalf
(b) where there is a legal obligation to do so
(c) if there is an immediate and specified risk of harm to you or an identifiable person that can be averted only by disclosing information
