• Parenting concerns

• Grief and loss

• Life cycle transitions—birth, marriage, empty nest, separation, divorce

Couple therapy is effective for:

• Relationship breakdown and conflict

• Affairs and other breaches of trust

Fees and Rebates

As I am a GP, Medicare rebates are available for all consultations.  You do not require a referral. 

However, if you have an existing Mental Health Care Plan, or a referral, please bring this to your appointment.

If you don’t have a Mental Health Care Plan, I am able to prepare one for you, usually at your first appointment.

This is a private billing practice and fees are payable on the day of the appointment. 

In the interests of equity, a limited number of reduced fee or bulk-billed consultations are available, by agreement, to patients experiencing hardship or for concession card holders. 

As there is a range of item numbers that are applicable for different consultation types and circumstances, please contact me to discuss likely fees and for more information about billing.
