Questions about our
Services?
Medicare rebate or private medical insurance claim for psychological services?
Most clients prefer to book directly with with our counsellors. No referral is required to access this counselling service.
During the first session, you can discuss the benefits of seeking a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP should you wish to pursue this path moving forward and you are booking with a registered psychologist. If you require a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) you will need to make a long appointment with your GP and they will make an assessment about whether you are eligible.
All of our registered psychologists are registered with Medicare and you will need a referral from a GP if you wish to claim Medicare rebates. Under the Better Access program you can receive a partial rebate for up to 10 individual sessions in a calendar year.
All our psychologists are registered with private health insurance providers in Australia. If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible to claim rebates for psychological sessions. The level of cover and any applicable waiting periods vary between providers and depends on your extras cover policy.
To find out if you are eligible and/or how much funding you are entitled to claim for psychological sessions, please contact your private health insurance.
Where applicable, some of our psychologists also see clients who are self-managed or plan-managed through NDIS at the current rate for NDIS.
Cancellation or missed sessions policy
Given the nature of our support services, last minute cancellations are costly, and it means that other clients may miss out on receiving the required support. For cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment there is a $65 part fee payment. For less than 24 hours cancellation notice or a non-show, the full session fee will need to be charged. These fees are refunded however if the session can be filled at the last minute.
How are your counselling and coaching sessions held?
We know our clients are time poor. For your convenience, all our counselling or coaching sessions are now available online via Zoom.
You can book your appointment online via this website.
Zoom allows us to connect with you via video and audio. It just requires you to click on a link to join. You can sign up to Zoom to create a FREE account and download the Zoom Client for Meetings. Zoom does require internet connections.

How we help YOU
What is a Separation and Divorce Coach and Why Should You Use One?
A Separation and Divorce Coach is someone who cares about YOU, works alongside YOU as you make decisions about your separation and divorce. We know our approach saves our clients a lot of stress, time, and money!
Our clients consult with us when they are considering separating, have separated, or are near obtaining a final divorce order. Some reach out after divorce to get the ongoing support they need to continue to feel stronger and confident on their way forward. For many of our clients, they work with us from the initial stages of separation to a significant period of time after the divorce.
Where Do You Start in the Process with A Separation & Divorce Coach?
When a client starts working with us, we will often initially assist them to work through their feelings at the time - from grief, hurt, betrayal, guilt, to overwhelm and confusion about how to get help, who to trust. We have additional counsellors and psychologists on our team who can further assist with offering emotional support for our client and their families through each stage of the process.
We then work with our client, at their pace, to find out where they are in the process, their level of knowledge of the options, and where we need to help fill in any of the gaps. We further discuss their financial situation, their job, their support system, living arrangements, safety, and children.
We help guide our clients on the options available (including the pros and cons of each for their situation), support them with communication strategies, how to care for their own self, to identify triggers, and set boundaries.
We assist our clients in drafting a separation plan regarding living arrangements, children's arrangements, and financial issues, so there is some clarity along the way about parenting and financial matters, before anything is finally negotiated and agreed to. We offer them financial and budget templates to complete in this process.
We help our clients get really organised with documentation, evidence and with their administration - from changing bank accounts to amending their wills. In the event that they need to see a lawyer or financial advisor along the way, they are highly organised and feeling a lot more empowered.
For clients with children, we help them draft parenting plans, and provide ongoing co-parenting and parenting guidance, strategies and support.
We have a panel of trusted experts who we can refer to our clients for additional support as needed - valuers, financial planners, career advisors, mortgage brokers...
