How much will it cost to see you?
My rate is $115/ session. Sessions will last for 50 minutes in duration.
What rebates are available?
Most people who see me have a referral from their GP (mental health care plan). This will entitle you to 6 sessions. For each session that you attend, you will be able to receive $80.20 back from medicare. This equates to $34.80 in out of pocket expenses/ session. To save you time, you'll be able to claim your rebate straight away after your session.
Other people who have private health insurance will be able to get rebates back from their provider. Rebates differ depending on your provider. On average you'll be able to claim 50% of the cost of the session. Some providers even offer better rates than medicare.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people see me for between 6 - 12 sessions. The first 6 sessions I will see you either weekly or fortnightly. By the end of the 6th session you will be making the necessary changes in your life. Sessions will then be held monthly to review your progress and make sure that you are 'still on track'. When you feel confident that the changes can be maintained in the long-term, therapy will cease. For some people this will be after 6 sessions, others may take a little longer
