Why Choose Us?
We are specialists in telehealth psychology services, and are able cater to the needs of a range of individuals, regardless of whether they are highly distressed, or alternatively, lacking a sense of fulfilment or wellbeing in their lives. Where other services may focus exclusively on treating symptoms, we differ in that we offer services beyond symptom relief.
Taking clients beyond symptom relief is essential in protecting them against future experiences of psychological distress. In doing so, we are committed to giving clients the tools necessary to help them realise their well-being potential. We make a point of exploring beyond “what is wrong” to also incorporate “what is going right, and how can ones strengths be further utilised”.

Our psychologists are registered with Medicare & Private Health Insurance companies, meaning you can access a substantial rebate.
Personalised Approach
Our psychologists have the ability to meet the different needs of clients in a tailored and personalisd way, and if for some reason we are unable to assist you, we will help find somebody who can. We truly care about our clients and meeting their individual needs.

What We Can Help With
Depression
The good news is depression a very treatable condition, even for those with severe or clinical depression. People are often reluctant to reach out for help, but it is important to seek treatment for depression sooner rather than later, as untreated depression can become chronic or recurrent. Contact us today to make an appointment with one of our experienced psychologists.
Anxiety
Anxiety is very common, and like depression, responds well to therapy. There are a number of effective treatments available for anxiety disorders that psychologists can draw on. Psychoeducation about anxiety is also an important step – talking about your experience and symptoms of anxiety, and dispelling the fears and myths that are commonly held about anxiety, will assist in moving forward with recovery.
Stress
The experience of stress is highly individualised – everybody has a different ability to cope with stress, and what might be highly stressful for one person may not be stressful for another. Accordingly, people manage and deal with their stress in different ways. If stress in your life is feeling overwhelming, counselling can help you develop effective and healthy strategies for managing stress.
ADHD
In Australia, it is estimated that there are about 815,000 people living with ADHD. Unfortunately, ADHD in adulthood is poorly recognised, undiagnosed and undertreated. Common symptoms include distractibility, impulsivity, procrastination, difficulty starting/finishing tasks, and poor organisation. We can offer evidenced based psychological treatment to assist with managing the symptoms of ADHD, such as cognitive behaviour therapy.
Eating Disorders
Many people with eating disorders do not seek treatment. This can be due to a number of factors, such as the individual not perceiving that they have a problem, fear of weight gain that may be encouraged in treatment, shame and fear of the stigma attached to eating disorders, and/or the belief that they can not be helped. However, treatment for eating disorders is essential – and the sooner, the better. The earlier a weight issue or eating disorder is identified, the faster the road to recovery.
Couples Counselling
All relationships face difficulties, and many of these issues can be resolved between the couple. However when problems become entrenched, it is important to seek professional help. Relationship counselling provides you with the tools needed to assist in increasing communication and understanding, raising and resolving differences, and strengthening the relationship and building resilience.
Anger Management
Anger that is expressed in unhealthy ways can cause numerous issues in our lives. Counselling for anger is not aimed at suppressing your anger; rather, treatment aims to teach you methods to respond to, and express feelings of anger in a healthy way. Treatment often focuses on learning the triggers and early warning signs of anger, and effective techniques to self-sooth and manage a potential problematic situation before it gets out of control.
Positive Psychology
Our Psychologists utilise Positive Psychology approaches, in addition to other established treatment methods, to assist clients in optimising their wellbeing and experience of life. Positive Psychology is a relatively new area of psychology focusing on the scientific study of wellbeing and happiness. We are unique to most other services in offering evidence-based Positive Psychology interventions to help clients live rich and meaningful lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect in my first session?
Firstly, your psychologist will go through a consent form with you, which will outline the professional conditions they abide by as set out by the Australian Psychological Society, including your rights of confidentiality. The first question your psychologist will tend to ask you is “What brings you here today?” You will then have the opportunity to tell them why you have come, what you would like to work on and to ask any questions you might have. Together, you will discuss any history that is relevant to the situation, and come up with a plan, including a discussion about what changes you might expect to see, and how often you should attend. You may then discuss the first steps and strategies you can take to start making a positive emotional change in your life. You can be guaranteed that your psychologist will provide a safe, non-judgmental and caring environment.
How many sessions will I need?
The counselling process is different for every individual, and consequently the number of sessions you need will depend upon your own unique circumstances. Some people see changes in a small number of sessions, while others may take longer. Some clients also prefer to work on their emotional development on a longer term basis, which is perfectly fine.
There is no limit to the number of sessions you may choose to have with your psychologist. However, the maximum number of sessions covered by Medicare in one calendar year is 10. For some issues, you might not need to attend this many sessions, but for others you might find it helpful to continue past 10 sessions. If you do see a psychologist through the Medicare Better Access initiative, your psychologist will remain in contact with your GP to discuss your treatment and progress (with your permission), and most mental health treatment plans involve a review with your GP after 6 sessions.
What Are Your Fees?
Our fees vary depending on which psychologist you see, and whether you have a GP referral or private health insurance. Please contact us to establish what your fee will be.
Eligible Medicare Rebates are processed on the same day with the funds transferred directly into your bank account.
What if I have private health cover?
Some private health insurance policies cover psychological sessions. For any single session, you can only claim a rebate through Medicare or private health, not both. We can provide you with a receipt following the session for you to lodge with your private health provider if you intend to access a rebate this way. Your rebate amount will depend on your insurer and level of cover.
Do you accept TAC or WorkSafe clients?
Yes, we are able to provide services for TAC and Worksafe/Workcover funded clients.
Do you accept NDIS clients?
Yes, we can see NDIS clients, provided they are Plan Managed or Self-Managed.
Do You See Mental Health Care Plan & EPC/CDM Clients?
Yes, we see both Mental Health Care Plan and EPC clients. In fact majority of the clients we see decide to get a GP referral and mental health care plan so that they can access a Medicare rebate for their sessions.
