Process
What to expect
Sessions can be face to face or Telehealth. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting. Here is a simple overview of what the process looks like so you know what to expect.
Get in touch
Reach out by phone or email to arrange an initial consultation. There is no obligation and no referral needed.
Contact meInitial session
We will meet for an initial session to discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to achieve. This is also a chance for you to get a feel for how I work.
Working together
If we decide to work together, we will agree on a plan that suits your needs and goals. Sessions are typically 50 minutes and held weekly or fortnightly.
Your pace
We work at a pace that feels right for you. Some people need short-term support; others benefit from longer-term work. There is no pressure either way.
Ending
When you feel ready to finish or pause therapy, we will have a final session to reflect on your progress and prepare you for the months ahead.
Practical information
- •Sessions are 50 minutes in length.
- •Sessions can be carried out face to face in my rooms in Brighton East, Victoria or via telehealth.
- •No referral or formal diagnosis is required.
- •Fees for a standard appointment are $150.
- •Everything discussed is kept strictly confidential.
- •We work at a pace that feels right for you.
- •At this stage I am not able to accept clients with Mental Health Treatment Plans. My fees are typically lower than others to compensate for the deficit. The advantage of not needing a Mental Health Treatment Plan to see me is that you will have confidentiality without involving your GP or healthcare provider if you choose not to. It also typically means you can be seen quicker.
