Reaching out is often the hardest part. Here is exactly how it works, so there are no surprises.
Booking Your First Session
We prioritise your safety and comfort. Here is a clear guide to the process and what to expect during your initial appointment.
1
Initial Contact
Contact us by email or phone to discuss your concerns and book your initial appointment bu using a Mental Health Care Plan provided by your GP or your private health insurance.Â
2
First Appointment
Whether via Telehealth or in person, your first session will focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and reviewing your clinical history, concerns and goals. This will provide the foundation for developing an evidence-based care and treatment plan tailored to your needs.
3
Integrated  Care and SupportÂ
We work closely with your GP, your medical team and other specialists, where appropriate, to ensure a holistic and coordinated approach to support and maintain your mental health and wellbeing.
Fees
Individual sessions are $270 for 50 minutes.Â
Â
Current fees and the applicable Medicare rebate are confirmed with you before your first appointment / listed below. There are no hidden costs, and you will know your exact out-of-pocket amount before you book.
If you hold private health extras cover for psychology, you may be able to claim through your fund instead. You cannot claim both Medicare and private health for the same session.
Mental Health Care Plans and Medicare rebates
A Mental Health Care Plan is an Australian Government initiative that makes psychological support more affordable. If you are eligible, it gives you a formal referral to see a psychologist and access to Medicare rebates.
​
To get one, book a longer than usual appointment with your GP and ask about a Mental Health Care Plan. They will assess whether it suits your situation and, if so, prepare the plan and referral letter during the consultation. It is worth mentioning Dina by name so the referral can be addressed to her directly.
What it covers
Claiming your rebate
Under an active Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for 10 psychological sessions per calendar year. This significantly reduces your out-of-pocket expenses, helping you focus on your wellbeing without undue financial stress.
To claim your rebate, please ensure you have your MHCP ready prior to your first appointment. Exact fees and the specific rebate amounts available to you will be communicated to you prior to your appointment, to ensure full transparency.
