Session times

For you to fit counselling into your personal and professional life, sessions are available before work (from 7:30am), after hours (till 8:00pm) and weekends (Saturday or Sunday).

Initial Consultation

The first session is 1.5hrs long with the first part dedicated for explanation of counselling confidentiality and the nature of the counselling process. Initial consultation is charged as a one-hour consultation rate.

Additional consultations

Frequency and duration of sessions will vary according to your needs and wishes. Sessions are an hour long, with longer sessions (1.5 – 2 hours) available as well.

Fee structure

In order to provide an affordable counselling, I provide a fee structure that cater to varied levels of income through discussion (without any requirement for financial information or formal documentation ).

Full Income   $100.00 per hour
Pension recipients, students & retirees $50.00
Personal circumstances – through discussion

Payments, receipts & rebates

It is expected that sessions will be paid on the day, with late payment for personal circumstance possible so you do not have to miss your session. Payment may be cash, cheque, or EFPTOS, accepting most cards.

Tax receipts are issues for each session or as a monthly summary. It is up to you to discuss with your accountant eligibility for recognised work expanse.

Rebates through Medicare and private funds are not available.

Please note that a Medicare rebate is not available for couple counselling even when both partners are diagnosed with mental health issues.
