Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychotherapist / Counsellor / Life Coach
"The ultimate aim of psychotherapy is to reach a point where my client is able to live a self-directed, confident and generally happy life without fear, anxiety and self-doubt, whilst the ultimate aim of life coaching is to harness a person's values, dreams and talents toward defining and achieving life goals.""

Fees (Online and face-to-face consultations)
There are standard, fixed fees for most of my services, payable by card or cash at the conclusion of every session. For online therapy payment is usually made at least 24 hours prior to the session, and receipt of payment is considered to be confirmation of the session. The session will simply not happen unless pre-payment has been received.
NOTE: CLIENTS WHO FAIL TO ATTEND A CONFIRMED APPOINTMENT WILL BE INVOICED FOR THE AMOUNT OF THAT SESSION AS A MATTER OF POLICY. This is due to clients who frequently simply don't turn up - and don't realise that sessions are planned in advance, and their 45-60 minute consult is not just another chat.
Consultations are between 45 minutes and 60 minutes.
Please ask for a schedule of fees when considering making a booking.
For comparative purposes the recommended fees of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) are included in the schedule of fees.
Please note that I do not provide Medicare rebates and I am not contracted with any medical insurance companies - clients are responsible for settling their own accounts after each session, and may submit the receipt to their health insurer. I attempt to adjust my fees so that your "gap" payment more-or-less approximates what you might pay if you and I were Medicare subsidised.
