Frequently asked questions

What can I expect in my first session?

If this is your first therapy experience, congratulations for embracing the courage to change! A first session involves finding out who you are and what brings you to therapy. We will set some intentions for what you want to work on and develop strategies to get you there.

You will need to complete some paperwork prior to your first appointment.

I am nervous about talking to someone, What if I don’t know what to say?

It is really normal to feel uncertain about opening up about your life, dreams, hopes and fears - we rarely experience opportunities to share our life in deep ways with others. Remember that it is my job to support you to tell your story.

What do I bring to my first session?

If you have a referral from your GP or Psychiatrist (known as a mental health care plan) you will need to send this to me prior to our first session. This will ensure that we can complete the Medicare rebate online. There is an out of pocket fee for sessions and this will be explained when we schedule your first appointment.

What is the practice policy on cancellations or not turning up for my appointment?

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or non-attendance, attract a full cancellation fee.
