What
is counselling?
Counselling is a discussion with a trained professional
which typically helps people to:
- Gain professional support and expertise in dealing with their concerns
- Cope or deal with those circumstances in a constructive and positive way
- Clarify what they are wanting for the future
- Develop a plan for moving in the direction they want to go
Different people seek
different outcomes from counselling. Because of this, it is
important that you talk to me about what you would like
to achieve from counselling.
To benefit most from counselling:
- Come with a positive expectation that counselling will be helpful
- Speak openly about your ideas of what will help
- Draw also on your own strengths, ideas and support network
- Realise that change often requires practice and perseverance
- Give feedback to me freely about your experience of counselling
You can choose to end
counselling at any time though I will often recommend a
certain number of sessions based on what has been helpful to
others with similar concerns.
People seek counselling for a wide range of
issues. I can assist with:
- Overcoming personal problems
- Life transitions
- Conquering depression
- Defeating anxiety & panic attacks
- Trauma recovery
- Resolving interpersonal conflict
- Enhancing communication
- Self development
- Effective decision making
- Accepting and coping with loss
- Overcoming sleeping difficulties
- Stress management
- Acceptance and clarity of sexuality
- Reconciling workplace issues
Fees and appointments
I am available for appointments in Wheelers Hill and Bayswater
North. I also offer telehealth sessions, on the phone or Zoom.
Sessions are 50 minutes
in duration and cost $190.
Fees are due at the completion of each session and you can pay
by cash or bank transfer. Unfortunately, debit and credit
card facilities are not available.
Medicare provides rebates to clients seeing a
psychologist in relation to a recognised psychological
condition. Clients must be referred by a GP, psychiatrist or
paediatrician, who must also review progress after 6 sessions
with the psychologist. Medicare provides a rebate of $96.65 per session for up
to 10 sessions per calendar year. This means that
for eligible clients, counselling with me equates to $93.35 per session.
