It’s good to be curious. Here are some of my most frequently asked questions...
-
Individual sessions are $250 for 50 minutes.
Payment is required on the day of the consultation and can be made via a credit card.
Please contact MyStory Psychology to discuss fees for supervision.
-
Under the Australian Government's Better Access initiative, you may be eligible to receive Medicare rebates for psychological treatment if you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your doctor.
The current Medicare rebate for a standard 50-minute consultation with a Clinical Psychologist is $149.05 per session.
You may also be eligible to claim rebates through your private health insurer. Please contact your insurer directly to confirm your level of cover. Please note that Medicare and private health insurance rebates cannot be claimed for the same consultation.
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide services under WorkCover, the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA), or the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
-
Before booking an initial appointment, I offer a brief phone conversation to discuss what brings you to therapy and explore whether I am the right fit for your needs.
Appointments are currently available during business hours only.
Consulting days: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
-
I ask that you provide as much notice as possible when cancelling an appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment time will incur the full fee.
I understand that sometimes you may be unable to keep an appointment because of sudden illness or an unexpected personal emergency. If this happens to you, please contact me as soon as possible to explain the situation.
The cancellation policy is in place to allow me to offer the allocated time to another person who is on the waiting list. Please note, there are no Medicare or private health fund rebates for late cancellations or missed appointments.
