I offer psychological services at a discounted rate, making them more affordable than the standard APS rate of $300. To accommodate various financial situations, I provide flexible payment options and accept several insurance providers, catering to students, health card holders, and others in need of financial consideration.
Convenient Online and In-Person Options: My services are available both online and at my offices in Western Australia. Online therapy offers flexibility and convenience, especially for those unable to attend in person. Clients with a valid referral can claim up to 10 Medicare Rebates per year.
Extended Support and Easy Access: In addition to individual therapy, eligible clients can access group sessions through the Better Access to Mental Health program. My practice welcomes clients without referrals, making it easier to start your mental health journey whenever you're ready.
COMMENCING THERAPY
Approaching the idea of therapy, especially for the first time, can seem overwhelming, filled with uncertainty about the process, the therapy environment, and the location. It's perfectly normal to have questions and to feel anxious or unsure.
Feeling nervous or hesitant about beginning therapy is completely understandable, but I want to reassure you that you're entering a space that is both secure and nurturing. The goal here is to focus on improving your mental health and overall wellness.
Should you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, tired, or even considering canceling your appointment, I encourage you to share these feelings with me. My role is to support you and address any worries you might have. I welcome you to express your emotions, thoughts, and experiences freely, without the need to prepare or have specific objectives at the outset. We're here to navigate any concerns that are weighing on you, and I'm committed to listening and providing support.
Together, we will employ evidence-based practices tailored to your needs, fostering a safe and empathetic space that lays the groundwork for our therapeutic partnership. My support extends to helping you access your inner strengths, transform how you react emotionally into a more balanced response, and develop skills for better emotional regulation and psychological adaptability.
