FAQs
Who do I see?
I work with clients aged 16 years and older.
I am based in NSW, however clients can be anywhere in Australia or overseas.
We can figure out time zones and what time sessions will work.
How are sessions run?
Online via video. My preference is a platform called Psychology Today (similar to Zoom). The platform is secure and confidential for counselling sessions. It’s important that you have a room or space which is confidential and comfortable to complete our sessions.
My office is confidential with a closed door, I also wear headphones to ensure our sessions are secure and for my ears only.
Do I need a referral to see a Counsellor/ or you?
No, you do not.
Counsellors in Australia aren’t registered with Medicare, meaning we’re unable to provide a rebate or accept Mental Health Care plans.
Generally, Counsellors fees are lower than those practitioners registered with Medicare to accommodate this.
