SEEKING SUPPORT

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

I offer individual counselling services to adults on Tuesdays 9am-6pm, in-person and via telehealth.  

You don't need a referral or a Mental Health Care Plan to make an appointment. Depending on your policy, you may be able to receive a private health rebate on counselling fees if you are with the following health funds: 

 

Medibank

AHM

Bupa

HCF

Emergency Services Health

See-u by HBF (Previously CUA)

Nurses & Midwives  Health  

Police Health

St Luke's Health 

Phoenix Health  

Mildura Health 

AIA Health  

Teachers Union Health  

Westfund 

Teachers Health  

GMHBA

Doctors Health

Unihealth

HBF

Apart from your private health details (if relevant), you don't need to bring anything to your counselling appointment. Some people like to bring a notepad & pen to make notes for themselves, but this isn't necessary and I am more than happy to send you resources via email following our session.
