Getting Started

‘Today is the first day of the rest of your life’.

It is normal to feel apprehensive about counselling, but many people find the process much easier than they had imagined.

Bookings can be made by contacting me directly on 0414 427 951 or email me.

Hours

Tuesday to Thursday by appointment. I am normally able to book clients in within a few weeks. Sessions are conducted in the Elwood office or via Zoom.

Fees

  • Individual and couple counselling (50-55 minutes) – $175
  • Extended sessions (85 minutes) – $250

Cancellation policy – Clients are advised that a fee of $90 will be charged for cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, unless a medical certificate is provided, or the full fee may be charged for failure to attend without notification.

Confidentiality – Information is confidential, except where I am legally required to disclose (for example, if someone’s life is at risk).

Medicare rebates

I am a registered Medicare provider. If you are referred by your GP on a mental health care plan, you will be able to claim a rebate for up to ten sessions. If you think you may be eligible, please speak to your GP, ensure the referral is made out to me as a mental health social worker.  The fee for a session is $175; the Medicare rebate is $79.05.
