Some Housekeeping Details For You
In order to keep our services accessible to as many people as possible, Men & Relationships Counselling charges a fee that is about two thirds of the rate recommended by the Australian Psychological Society.
Current Fees
Fee schedule is for face to face, online and telephone consultations.
Some flexibility in fee schedule may be available for those in financial difficulty.
| Individual counselling | $190 |
| Couples counselling | $210 |
Session Times
Counselling sessions are approximately 50 minutes in duration (the therapeutic hour).
Payments
Payments for face face consultations are made at the time of consultation unless specifically negotiated prior to the appointment.
Payments can be made by credit card or cash. A receipt will be issued at the time of payment.
Payments for online or telephone consultations are to be paid via electronic funds transfer. I will provide an invoice at the conclusion of the session via text message or email.
Rebates
I am unable to accept Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP).
This means you are not required to see your GP and gain a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) to access and benefit from my services.
You are not limited to the number of sessions I could offer you including the therapeutic approach , specialty or modalities as would be the case under a MHCP.
The session fees remain the same and there are no limitations to the amount of sessions you may have.
Counselling fees are set lower than typical psychologist fees to make counselling more accessible and affordable, especially since Medicare rebates aren’t available for counselling services.
Cancellation Policy
Counselling needs to take place on a regular basis in order to be effective.
Appointments, therefore, need to be consistently scheduled and regularly attended. Missed appointments can jeopardise treatment and slow the healing work.
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged a cancellation fee of the full price of a session. This policy is representative of the industry standard within the Counselling/Psychotherapy profession.
