General Practice Areas

Adults, couples or individuals. Dealing with anger management, domestic violence, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, parenting issues, and sexual counselling of adults.

I conduct intensive 3 full-day groups for domestic violence and anger management / anger regulation in remote areas that do not have access to these programs.  Please contact me for further details.

Additionally, counselling via the internet/email or phone is available for individuals who feel uncomfortable with face-to-face counselling or who do not have access to these services within a reasonable distance from where they live.

Face-to-Face Counselling and Fees

Currently consulations are $90 during business hours and $110 for after hours.  Counselling sessions are approximatly 50 minutes duration.  Normal business hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday.  After-hours appointments by arrangement.  All counselling and program fees are in $AUS.

Counselling fees are generally not  reimbursed by private health funds, though consultations related to your employment may be tax deductible. 

Medicare & Private Health Fund Rebates

My counselling services cost significantly less than psychological services even with Medicare or private health fund rebates.  Therefore counselling is a real option without any loss of professionalism or service for those who do not need a psychologist.  Also see: Is Counselling Too Expensive? And Medicare Allied Health System.

Financial Hardship

If you are experiencing genuine financial hardship, please discuss your situation with me.  I am open to offering a sliding scale on my counselling fees.
