The current fee recommended by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) is $280 for a 45 to 60 minute consultation.
As of 1 July 2025, my cost of a consultation or therapy session is $270, which is payable at the end of the session by Credit Card or direct debit.  The consultation is 50 minutes in duration.

A referral is not required, however, if you are assessed by your GP to be eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP; under the Better Access to Mental Health initiative), you will be able to receive a Medicare rebate.  The Medicare rebate for Clinical Psychology, as of 1 July 2025, is $145.25, leaving an out-of-pocket fee of $124.75 per session.

Currently, you are entitled to up to 10 Medicare rebated sessions, on a MHCP, per calendar year.

In addition, many Private Health Care Funds offer rebates for psychological services.  If you have private health insurance, please check with your health fund to obtain details.

As part of providing a psychological service to you, I need to collect and record personal information that is relevant to your situation, such as your name, contact information, medical history and other relevant information.  All personal information is stored digitally and confidentially via a highly secure, cloud-based healthcare system.

Your personal information is gathered as part of your assessment and treatment and is kept securely. In the interests of your privacy, this information is used only by myself and any other Allied Health Professionals that you provide consent for me to liaise with. Case notes are taken during the session and are retained to document what happens during sessions. This enables me to provide a relevant and informed psychological service to you.

All personal information gathered by myself during the provision of the psychological service will remain confidential except when:

1. it is subpoenaed by a court, or disclosure is otherwise required or authorised by law; or
2. failure to disclose the information would, in the reasonable belief of myself, place you or another person at serious risk to life, health, or safety; or
3. your prior approval has been obtained to

   a) provide a written report to another professional or agency. e.g., a GP or a lawyer; or
   b) discuss the material with another person, e.g., a parent, employer, health provider or third-party funder; or
   c) disclose the information in another way; or
   d) disclose to another professional or agency (e.g., your GP) and disclosure of your personal information to that third party is for a purpose which is directly related to the primary purpose for which your personal information was collected.

If you need to cancel or postpone your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. If less than 24 hours’ notice is given, a $100 cancellation fee will be charged. In the instance of non-attendance without any notice, the full session fee will be charged.

There is designated parking for clients, in the private carpark, at the side of the Business Centre.

Our collective wellbeing is paramount to us all and being Covid safe allows me to support you in the best way possible.  To stop the spread, I will continue to review my practices and responses in line with WA Health Government recommendations.

Although I take great measures to minimise your exposure, I cannot guarantee a Covid safe environment, at all times. 


Appointments

Please only attend face-to-face appointments if you are totally healthy, not awaiting a COVID test result, and have not had a close household member test positive in the last 7 days.  An air purifier in used whilst sessions are in progress.  The therapy room is sanitised with disinfectant spray and wipes, in-between sessions.

Telehealth Appointments

I can provide both telehealth and face to face appointments. Where it is clinically appropriate, a telehealth appointment can be arranged in lieu of a face-to-face appointment.

Hand Hygiene

Please use hand sanitiser as soon as you enter the practice and when you leave. There is hand sanitiser at various locations around the practice.  The bathroom has hand towels and an automatic soap dispenser.  It is recommended that you wash your hands for 20 seconds.

Physical Distancing

Please arrive as close to your appointment time as possible to minimise waiting room time.  Surgical masks are to be worn in communal areas.  The waiting room has been arranged to adhere to the physical distancing rules. Please aim to be at least 1.5m away from each other as much as possible.

If you bring a support person to your appointment, please ensure they are also well.  


Together we can stop the spread.

I am available by appointment only, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursday between the hours of 9am and 5pm.

If you are a new client, please contact me for a brief consultation so I can assess your needs and establish whether I would be a good fit for you. If you are an existing client, please email, text or phone me to make additional appointments.

I am not available for appointments outside my designated clinic days. I only work part-time and my working week is Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursday. If you phone, text or email me outside these three days, I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible, however, it may be during the following working week.

Please note that I am not an emergency service. I am unable to attend to your messages urgently. If you require emergency assistance, or if you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or self-harm, please contact your GP, present to the Emergency Department or your nearest hospital, or call Emergency Services on 000.
