Free Initial Consultation
Duration: 10-15 minutes free complimentary phone call
Price: $0
A free initial call with a counsellor is an opportunity to discuss your concerns and determine if their services align with your needs. This conversation, typically lasting 10-15 minutes, allows you to share a brief overview of your situation and understand how the therapist can assist you.
During this call, you can ask questions about the therapist's approach, availability, and experience to ensure they are a good fit for you. It's also an opportunity to discuss any expectations or concerns you may have about therapy. This initial conversation is confidential and designed to help you decide whether to enter treatment.
Benefits and Costs
Do psychotherapists & counsellors provide a Medicare rebate?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists:
These professionals are not currently eligible to provide services under the Medicare Better Access Scheme in Australia. That means you cannot claim a Medicare rebate (a partial refund from the government) when you see them privately.However, our costs are often lower.
Although counsellors and Psychotherapists do not offer Medicare rebates, they often charge lower fees than Clinical Psychologists. This means that:
The out-of-pocket cost may be less, despite not receiving a rebate.
Many clients find therapy with counsellors or psychotherapists more affordable, especially since our practice keeps our fees low.

These sessions gently guide you to notice physical sensations within your body, such as areas of tension or ease, without requiring an in-depth exploration of memories or emotions. This increased awareness helps regulate the nervous system and supports the processing of unresolved stress.
Somatic therapy focuses on connecting with emotions through the body. You may notice sensations such as heaviness, warmth, or lightness—this is a natural part of becoming more attuned to your body’s signals. Your therapist will support you in exploring these sensations at your own pace.
