About my fee

Counselling services are not currently eligible for Medicare rebates. While there is ongoing advocacy to expand rebate accessibility, I aim to keep my fees accessible to help reduce barriers to support.

My rate is positioned at the lower end – or below – the current out-of-pocket cost (Medicare gap) for most psychological services.

No referral is required. You’re welcome to book directly.

No, you do not need a formal OCD diagnosis to begin therapy. Obsessive–compulsive patterns don’t need to meet diagnostic criteria to be worth addressing. What matters is whether these experiences are interfering with your life or taking up more space than you’d like.

Both psychologists and counsellors work in mental health and support people through a range of challenges. The main differences lie in training pathways, regulatory frameworks, and scope of practice.

Psychologists are registered under national legislation, can provide formal mental health diagnoses, and may offer Medicare-rebated sessions. They are trained in psychological assessment, diagnosis, and a range of therapeutic approaches.

Counsellors are trained mental health practitioners who provide therapy, conduct clinical assessments, and work within therapeutic approaches aligned with their training and areas of specialisation. Counsellors do not provide formal diagnoses but focus on therapeutic intervention, formulation, and change.

My current clinical focus is on working with Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in adolescents (aged 16+) and adults. As my training and supervised experience continue to expand, I plan to broaden my scope to include Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) in the future.
