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

Psychodynamic therapy is a depth oriented, relational process where creating a “therapeutic frame” is important. To facilitate this, 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 for any reason.

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 from their GP or psychiatrist (Gap fee: $78.15). A review is required after 6 sessions.

Patients may also be eligible to receive partial reimbursement 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.

For patients who are struggling financially and are no longer eligible for rebates, I offer a limited number of reduced fee appointments.
