Treatment Information

Location

Sessions take place from counselling rooms at the Hartington Centre in Northcote, Melbourne. The centre is opposite Northcote Train Station with plenty of street parking available. I also offer Telehealth sessions for patients who are unable to meet in person.

Session Frequency

I provide each patient with a consistent 50 minute appointment time each week. I am unable to offer monthly or fortnightly sessions. I typically work with patients in long term therapy (6 months+). Patients may choose to end or take a break from therapy at any time.

Fees and Funding

My standard fee for a 50 minute session is $220. Cancelations within 48 hours will incur a $100 fee.

Patients may be eligible for medicare rebates of $141.85 for up to 10 sessions each calendar year through a Mental Health Treatment Plan or 40 sessions through an Eating Disorder Management Plan (Gap fee is $78.15). Rebates of $61.80 may also be available for 5 sessions through a Chronic Disease Management Plan (Gap Fee is $158.20). Regular reviews with your GP or psychiatrist are required.

Patients may also be eligible to receive reimbursements for sessions from their Private Health Insurance, Victims of Crime or other support services. I do not provide services through the NDIS, Work Cover or Veteran Affairs.

Please note that psychodynamic therapy typically extends beyond 10 sessions. For patients who are struggling financially and are not eligible for rebates, I offer a limited number of reduced fee spaces.
