$250 per hour in business hours, $270 per hour outside business hours.

Longer sessions, including 90-minute couples sessions and intensives, are charged at the same hourly rates for the time booked. Where a session spans both business and outside hours, the relevant hourly rate will apply to each portion of the session. I’ll confirm the total fee with you when you book.

The outside-hours rate applies to evening sessions and Saturday intensives. The introductory call is free.

Where

In person in St Kilda, Melbourne, and in the Macedon Ranges, and online.

More Information

If you’re seeing me as an individual client with a referral from your GP under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate, currently $101.55 per session. Under the Better Access initiative, you can claim for up to 10 individual sessions each calendar year. Medicare doesn’t cover couples therapy, but your private health extras cover may. Check with your fund.

Payment is due at the time of the session. Intensives require a 50% deposit at the time of booking. I accept payment by credit card or bank transfer by agreement. Your credit card details are stored securely in my billing platform, with payments processed automatically at the end of your session.

Unless otherwise agreed, sessions cancelled within 3 business days of the appointment incur a 50% late cancellation fee. Sessions cancelled the day before or on the day, including no-shows, are charged in full. There’s no cancellation fee for family illness or an emergency.

After booking, you’ll receive [intake forms and consent information, including consent for AI-assisted notes through Halaxy. Please complete these before we meet.
