Therapy
I work with adults and older adolescents with a range of psychological questions, experiences, and difficulties. These often relate to:
-
Intense emotions, like anxiety, sadness, and anger
-
Interpersonal relationships (romantic, family, friendship, work etc.)
-
Trauma (complex or single-incident)
-
Self-esteem, self-worth or self-concept
-
Life adjustments/transitions inc. grief/loss and perinatal experience
-
Sexual/romantic orientation or gender identity
-
Sexuality or sexual function
-
Confused, disoriented, or chaotic thoughts
You may also seek therapy to improve your general psychological well-being; gain a better understanding of your internal world; and/or find meaning in your experiences.​ Regardless of your reason for seeking therapy, my primary interest is understanding you as a unique individual.
​
Attendance
Our work together will begin with an initial assessment phase (usually 1-3 sessions), after which time we will decide on the best way forward.
To enhance the effectiveness of therapy, I offer sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis (weekly is preferred); I do not currently take on patients who wish to attend less frequently than fortnightly. For those wishing to engage in more in-depth psychoanalytic work, I also offer twice-weekly sessions.
Referrals & Fees
My current fee for a standard 50-minute session is $240. For those wishing to commit to longer-term therapy, I also offer alternative fee arrangements.
You do not need a referral or diagnosis to access psychotherapy and can contact me directly to organise an appointment. If you have private health insurance, your provider may offer financial support for accessing psychology.
​
Additionally, I welcome referrals from GPs as part of a care or management plan (including DVA). In such instances, you will be eligible to receive a full or partial rebate on a specified number of sessions per calendar year.
​
I also accept referrals for those receiving support under the NDIS.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about fees and referrals.
