Therapy that moves you forward, not just talks it through.
Structured, evidence-based and built around your goals.
One-on-one telehealth sessions for adults and adolescents (12+) navigating anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or persistent patterns that keep holding them back. We use CBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing, applied practically, with clear goals agreed from the outset. Every session moves toward something concrete.

This may suit you if
- Anxiety, low mood or stress is affecting your daily life
- You keep repeating patterns you haven't been able to shift
- You understand what you should do, but can't make it happen in the moment
- Avoidance is quietly shrinking your work, study or social life
- You want structured, goal-directed support rather than open-ended talking
- You're navigating a significant life transition
- Previous therapy felt too vague or general to actually use
- You want to build lasting skills, not just manage symptoms
An NDIS participant? Where therapy relates to disability-related goals like independence, communication and participation, it may be funded through your plan instead of Medicare. See NDIS psychology for how that pathway works.

Clear, transparent pricing
No surprises. The initial 15-minute consultation is always free for new clients.
| Service | Full fee | With rebate / funding |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultation (15 min) | Free | No referral required |
| Individual therapy session (50 min) | $121.55 | $20 out of pocket after the $101.55 Medicare rebate |
| Private (no referral) | $121.55 | No rebate; no referral needed |
| NDIS participants | Rate confirmed before service | Self & plan-managed only |
A GP referral with a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) is required for Medicare rebates. Under Better Access you can claim rebates for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year; a referral covers up to 6 sessions at a time. From 1 November 2025, your MHTP and referral must come from a GP at your MyMedicare-registered practice or your usual medical practitioner.
Before you enquire
No. You can enquire, arrange a free consultation, or begin self-funded therapy without any referral. A GP Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral are only required to access Medicare rebates.
You pay the full session fee of $121.55 on the day, and your $101.55 Medicare rebate is claimed electronically straight back to your bank account, usually within 1 to 2 business days, leaving you $20 out of pocket. Medicare rules do not allow us to charge you only the gap: by law, a bulk-billed service must have no additional charge at all, so a practice either bulk bills the entire session or charges its fee with the rebate returned to you.
Private (self-funded) clients pay $121.55 per session with no referral needed. Self-managed NDIS participants receive invoices directly. Plan-managed participants can have invoices sent to their plan manager, with services kept within the applicable current NDIS pricing limits. If you have private health extras cover for psychology, you may claim part of the fee through your fund instead of Medicare; the two cannot be combined for the same session.
After your free 15-minute consultation, a secure card authority is stored with your written consent before your first paid session. Your card is charged on the day of each session once it has been delivered. Cancellations with less than 2 clear business days notice, or non-attendance, are charged at 100 per cent of the session fee, and this fee is not claimable through Medicare or a private health fund. NDIS cancellations follow the NDIS rules and may be claimed from the participant's plan. All fees and this policy are confirmed with you in writing before your first session.
It varies with your goals and presentation. We set clear goals from the outset and review them regularly. Many people see significant change within the 10 Medicare-subsidised sessions; others benefit from continuing beyond that. The aim is meaningful progress, not open-ended attendance.
Research consistently supports telehealth psychology as equally effective to in-person therapy for most presentations. All you need is a device with a camera and a private space. Sessions run on Australian-compliant, encrypted platforms.
