What are the consultation fees?

For individuals, the initial assessment and standard therapy appointments are $200 per session (plus GST) and are 60 minutes in length. I see couples for 90 minutes and so the cost is $300 per session (plus GST).

Formal or extended liaison/updates (including phone calls) with family members or external health professionals, and all report/letter writing is charged at $150 (plus GST) per hour. The minimum letter writing fee is $50.

Payment is due on the same days of the consultation, which is payable by bank transfer. I am unable to re-book clients with 2 outstanding invoices.

What is the cancellation policy?

Due to the high demand for services, fees apply to late cancellations. Where an appointment is missed, or a late cancellation/change is made with less than 24 hours notice 50% consultation fee will be automatically invoiced.

Cancellation fees may be waived in cases of sudden significant illness or emergency (such as hospital admission, with GP or doctor letter).

How long will treatment take?

The duration of treatment varies considerably.

Some clients may find 6-12 session brief intervention is sufficient to meet their treatment goals. For others, more ongoing work over months or years may be indicated at varying levels of intensity (weekly/fortnightly/monthly).

As a general average, many clients are seen for approximately 20 sessions over a 9-12 month period.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No, as this a private service you can self-refer using the online form.

Your GP or another professional can also refer you to us by emailing a referral directly.
