Fees & Weekly Sessions

I specialise in providing counselling services to the adult LGBTQIA+ community in Melbourne. I work with new clients weekly. Research indicates this gets the best outcomes for clients.

As of January 2026, the fee for a 60-minute session is $260.

You can access ten sessions per calendar year for clients using a mental health care plan. The rebate is $87.95.

At this stage, I do not process Medicare claims on the client’s behalf.

Don't hesitate to contact me with further questions or see my FAQs.
