Common questions

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged at the full fee unless there are extenuating circumstances, as this time has been reserved for you. This policy supports the sustainability of the practice and allows us to offer appointments to others who may be waiting.

Do you accept Medicare Mental Health Care Plans?

Not currently. If cost is a concern, please ask — a small number of reduced-fee places are available for clients in genuine financial hardship.

In person, online, or by phone — which should I choose?

All work well. We can start with one and switch if you’d like to.

How long are sessions?

Individual sessions are 60 minutes. Couples sessions are 75 minutes for the initial session, and 60 or 75 minutes for subsequent sessions. Most people start fortnightly and adjust the rhythm as we go.

What if I’m not sure therapy is the right step?

That’s what the free 15-minute consult is for. Ask anything. There’s no pressure to book in afterwards.
