There's no set number. Some people come for a season, others for longer. We'll move at your pace, and you're always in control of how we continue.

No. You don't need a Mental Health Treatment Plan or GP referral to see me. Counselling is not eligible for a Medicare rebate, so you can access support directly without needing a mental health plan.If you're unsure whether counselling is right for you, you're welcome to get in touch and have a chat.

Some private health insurance policies may provide rebates for counselling through Extras cover. This varies between providers and policies, so I recommend checking directly with your health insurer to see if you are eligible and whether I am a recognised provider with your fund.
