Treatment Information

Location

I offer individual sessions in person in Thornbury and via Telehealth throughout Australia.

Session Scheduling

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a depth based, longer term therapy that involves a commitment from therapist and patient to meet on a regular basis. I provide each patient with a 50 minute therapy space at a consistent time each week. This creates a therapeutic frame that is an important foundation for the work. If you are looking for a therapist who you can check in with occasionally another type of therapy may be a better fit for you.

I am available for sessions from Monday through to Friday with some evening spaces available.

Fees and Funding

My standard fee for a 50 minute session is $240.

You may be eligible for medicare rebates of $145.25 for up to 10 sessions each calendar year through a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP or psychiatrist (Gap fee: $94.75). Private health and other Medicare rebates may also be available.

Please note that psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a longer term approach that typically extends beyond 10 sessions (often months to years). If you are struggling financially and are no longer eligible for Medicare rebates, I may be able to offer you one of my reduced fee spaces.
