No. You’re welcome to self-refer.
However, a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP allows you to claim Medicare rebates if eligible. -
The first session is focused on getting to know your history, what brings you in, and what you want from therapy.
We’ll look at what “success” would mean for you and start building a shared understanding of the support you need.There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we go at a pace that feels right.

Both.

People come to see me for a range of concerns, including:
• self-esteem and identity
• relationship and family challenges
• anxiety and stress
• low mood
• feeling stuck or repeating old patterns
• wanting a healthier relationship with themselves and others -
I draw from Schema Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and ACT.
Think of them as different ways of understanding patterns, processing what’s been overwhelming, and supporting you to build new ways of responding.
-
No — psychologists don’t prescribe medication.
If medication is part of your care, you would see a GP or psychiatrist.
Many clients use therapy alongside medication; others prefer psychology alone. -
I’m warm but straightforward.
You won’t find me using academic jargon or avoiding the hard stuff.Our sessions are collaborative and grounded in understanding what’s really getting in the way — so change feels real, not theoretical.
