FAQ
DO YOU NEED A REFERRAL?
A referral is not required; however, it may be necessary to have an appropriate referral from your GP in order to claim a rebate from your health insurance or Medicare.
It is also a good idea to see a GP or Psychiatrist to ensure that any potential causes or physical reasons can be assessed and treated if necessary. GP’s and psychiatrists will also be able to make appropriate decisions regarding medication, should this be required.
Please make the necessary enquiries about potential rebates for your individual circumstances, before making an appointment, to ensure that you are fully informed.
HOW SOON CAN I SEE YOU?
As a prospective patient, you’ll start by completing an intake form and you’ll hear back from me if I’m able to offer you an appointment at this point in time.
We do not maintain a waitlist. This practice is extremely busy and has limited availability. In order to provide the best service possible to our clients, we keep our caseload manageable and have strict criteria aimed at providing best practice service to clients most suited to Telehealth Psychology
CONFIDENTIALITY/ PRIVACY
Privacy and confidentiality are a priority.
We understand that Psychotherapy is best when you can be honest and open, and people need a safe place to talk without worries about information leaving the room.
I take your privacy very seriously, and laws are also in place to protect your privacy.
You will be informed of your rights to a confidential service at the beginning of your initial appointment.
WHAT TYPES OF TREATMENT DO YOU OFFER?
I’m an experienced Psychologist, and have an integrative, gentle and compassionate style. I combine many different approaches and proven tools such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema therapy, EMDR, Imagery Rescripting, Hypnotherapy and others.
Treatment is through therapy, and Psychologists don’t prescribe medications.
