FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need a referral to book?
No referral is required to access counselling privately. However, if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and a valid referral from your GP. You're also welcome to self-refer by completing the form on the Contact page to request an appointment.

Do you offer Medicare rebates?
Yes. If you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and referral from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $87.25 per 60-minute session. Please provide your Medicare card details as well as referral details prior to your first session.

Do you work with NDIS participants?
Yes. I work with NDIS participants of all ages, including children under 9. I provide counselling, therapeutic support, and assessments under Capacity Building. I accept both self-managed and plan-managed participants. I also offer Psychosocial Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) reports to support access requests and plan reviews.

What ages do you work with?
I work with individuals of all ages – from young children (4+) to adolescents and adults. For children under 4, I provide attachment-focused support by working with parents or caregivers to strengthen the parent–child relationship and support early emotional development and relational attunement.

Do you offer Telehealth?
Yes, Telehealth appointments are available for clients across Australia via a secure video platform.

What is your therapeutic approach?
My practice is trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and relational. I draw on a range of evidence-based modalities to tailor support to each person’s unique needs. These include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Child-Centered Play Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and psychoeducation. My approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and a deep belief in the healing power of safe, attuned relationships.
