My current rate is $150 per appointment.
I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee appointments for those experiencing financial hardship. If cost is a barrier, please reach out to discuss what options may be available.
-
I currently offer appointments on a Thursday and Friday.
-
Clients are booked into three, six, or twelve-month blocks, reflecting the slow and steady nature of this work and allowing us to plan our sessions accordingly.
The number of sessions needed within that time depends on several factors, including your concerns, availability, and financial situation. In general, I usually recommend around 12–20 sessions for the most effective outcomes.
We can discuss this in more detail during our first appointment.
-
I understand that sometimes things come up, and you may need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.
However, if an appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, the full session fee may be charged. This policy is in place to ensure fairness to both the practice and clients who may have wanted that appointment time.

Yes. I maintain a confidential practice in line with the PACFA Code of Ethics. What you share in therapy is treated as confidential and is used only for the purpose of providing professional care, including clinical notes and professional supervision.
There are limited circumstances where confidentiality may need to be disclosed, such as when required by law, or where there is a serious and immediate risk to your safety or the safety of others.
For full details, please refer to my Informed Consent & Service Agreement.

No. As a registered counsellor, my work focuses on supporting emotional wellbeing through counselling and psychotherapy rather than providing formal diagnoses.
While we may explore patterns, experiences, and mental health concerns together, I do not provide clinical diagnoses or formal assessments. If a diagnosis is required, I can support you in exploring appropriate referral options.
-
Not at this time. Counselling services are not currently eligible for Medicare rebates, as counsellors are not Medicare-approved providers. As a result, Mental Health Care Plans cannot be used for these sessions.
-
I am not currently an NDIS-registered provider.
-
At this stage, my practice is not wheelchair accessible and may not be suitable for clients with certain mobility needs.
If accessibility is a concern, I’m happy to discuss alternative options, such as online counselling sessions.
-
That’s completely understandable — finding the right fit matters so if it doesn’t feel right here, I encourage you to explore other options.
