The fee for a standard 1 hour consultation is $170.00 (although, in truth, we may sometimes run a few minutes over as typically the richest content emerges toward the end of a session and I’m not a clock watching kind of gal. But please let me know if this is not suitable for you). Fees can be paid in cash or via direct debit on or before the time of the day of consultation.
Longer sessions (80 mins) are available upon request for $210.00
On-table NeuroAffective Touch sessions are $250.00 and are 90 minutes

Unfortunately no. At this point, a mental health plan is only applicable for work with a psycologist, psychiatrist, social worker or occupational therapist. For some reason the government hasn’t yet extended this financial assistance to include psychotherapy or counselling. I wish it wasn’t the case and PACFA (the Pychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) and the ACA (Australian Counsellors Association) are continually working to see this ammended but for now, sadly, I am unable to offer a mental health plan.

Yes, if you have the appropriate extras cover you can claim a rebate for sessions with me. I offer provider numbers for BUPA, Medibank Private, AHM, the Australian Regional Health Group, Police Health, St Luke’s Health, Phoenix and Emergency Health Services.

Please note that when you make an appointment with me I allocate this time specifically for you. As such, if you need to cancel an appointment I require at least 48 hours notice so I can offer the session time to somebody else. With this notice given there is no fee incurred. If you forget or need to cancel for any reason within the 48 hour time frame your session will be charged as normal.

Yes. Much of my work is on-line these days and consultations via Skype are available for those who can’t attend appointments in person. Alongside talk therapy, on-line consults are surprisingly effective for both somatic work and arts based, experiential counselloing.
