Individual Therapy
I offer therapy sessions to individuals aged 18 or older, on a
weekly or fortnightly basis.
I charge $280 per 50 minute session (though a limited number of
reduced fee spots are available). Under the Medicare Better Access
program, Medicare card holders with a Mental Health Care Plan are
entitled to a rebate of $145.25 of their fee, for up to 10
sessions per calendar year. With a rebate, the typical out of
pocket expense for a session is $134.75.
To receive a rebate through Medicare, you must have a valid
referral from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. When you visit
your doctor, make sure to have my name, address and phone number
on hand. You do not need a referral if you are paying privately or
claiming a rebate through private health insurance.
Should you wish to book in with me, please note that a session
deposit is required to confirm an initial booking.
ADHD Assessment and Support
I offer comprehensive ADHD assessment as part of my practice. This
process can take between 3-4 sessions, and includes:
- • A diagnostic interview
-
• Collecting a full developmental, mental health and medical
history
-
• Collecting reports from third parties (such as parents,
siblings, housemates, friends or partners)
Please note additional fees will be charged, should you request a
formal report detailing assessment results.
Note also that psychiatrists will likely conduct their own ADHD
assessment before prescribing stimulant medication (the first line
pharmacological option). If you know you would like to get started
on medication, I recommend you book in with a psychiatrist for
assessment in the first instance.
For ongoing support associated with an ADHD diagnosis, individual
therapy sessions are available (see above for details).
