Counselling Rebates
Although Medicare does not offer rebates for counselling, the following funds do, if you have included it in your cover:
AHM, BUPA, CUA, Doctors Health, Emergency Services Health, Grand United Health, Medibank, Phoenix Health, Police Health, St Luke’s.
You claim directly from the fund and will need an invoice from me to claim.
Cancellation and Refunds Policy
In case you can’t attend your session, please give 48-hours notice so we can allocate the session to someone else. Further, if you have booked for face-to-face and are unwell, contact me to change to phone or Zoom if you are well enough. Generally, we reschedule sessions rather than offer refunds. Also, for cancellations less than 24-hours without a valid reason, we charge $40. In addition, non-attendance without any notice forfeits the whole fee. However, we deal with last minute emergencies, illness, family or children issues compassionately on a case-by-case basis, and re-schedule sessions rather than forfeit or charge for them.
Counselling Bookings – First Time
Please note, the Intake Form Below is for counselling clients. Supervisees complete the form on the Counselling Supervision page.
Booking your session for the first time is a two-stage process. First, please complete the intake form below, including assenting to the conditions of confidentiality and counselling. Importantly, for Couples Counselling, you both need to complete and submit an intake form. Additionally, at the bottom of the form, you will find the links to the Client Consent Form and the Client Information Form. It is important that you read through and assent to both these documents (it is legally and ethically required for counselling). When you have completed your intake form, press ‘Submit.’
Second, choose your session from the booking calendar and complete your booking as per instructions below.
Whenever you make any subsequent bookings, you will use the calendar process only.
