You will receive a warm welcome as well as my referral form to complete, information pertaining to consent, confidentiality, and cancellation processes. You can ask as many questions as you like. Once you complete the referral form, I may have a few more questions to ask you over a phone call, free of charge, before I meet you or your child. 

My sessions cost $120 per hour. I also offer a 5-session bundle costing $550.   

Sessions are held face to face in my therapy room at 10 Jindalee Road, Port Macquarie. I also offer telehealth sessions; however, telehealth is for adults only. I may also have capacity to hold sessions in the comfort of your home or at your child’s school, however further discussions would need to be had to explore this as an appropriate option.  

As I am a registered counsellor, I cannot work under a Mental Health Care Plan and can not offer bulk billing. However, I am registered with certain health funds including: 

BUPA 

Doctors Health Fund 

Grand United  

Australian Regional Health Group funds: (ARHG) Policy Health Fund, Emergency Services Health, Phoenix Health, St Lukes Health, GMHBA, CUA Health (Telehealth only), Teachers Union Health, AIA and Westfund.   

Yes. However, NDIS plans must be self-managed, or plan managed. I am unable to provide a service for NDIA managed plans.  

The cancellation policy involves a full payment for the session if the cancellation is on the same day that the session is scheduled. If 24 hours’ notice is provided, cancellation cost is 50% of the session fee.  

A variety of theories and modalities inform my practice. The primary frameworks include trauma sensitive and informed practices, neurodevelopmental trauma, attachment, family systems, child development, somatic and embodied healing, polyvagal, DDP, sensory and play interventions as well as and strength-based approaches.
