What to Expect
Online or face-to-face
Appointments are available for adults aged 18 and over, online Australia-wide or face-to-face in Moruya.
Online sessions are conducted via secure video and offer the flexibility to access therapy from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Fees
A standard consultation at Driftwood Psychology Practice is $270 for a 55-minute session.
The fees are intentionally set below the current recommended national fee schedule set out by the Australian Psychological Society and Australian Association of Psychologists Inc.
Medicare rebates & referrals
If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan and are eligible for a Medicare rebate, you can claim up to $101.55 per eligible session. A referral from your general practitioner (GP) is required to access the rebate.
Self-funded
You don’t need a referral to see me. If you’d prefer to access therapy without a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you can simply get in touch to arrange an appointment.
Private health insurance rebates may also be available, depending on your level of cover.
What the journey can look like
Reaching out
You don’t need to have everything figured out. Send an enquiry or book a free 15-minute chat to ask questions and see whether we’re a good fit.
Your first session
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’d like to change and where you’d like to start.
Building understanding
We’ll develop a shared understanding of what’s happening and, where needed, build strategies to help manage things when they’re difficult.
Processing & change
When you’re ready, we will work on the things that are keeping you stuck or getting in the way of the changes you want to make. The pace, focus and length of therapy will be shaped around your needs and what you’d like to achieve.
Finishing therapy
We’ll work towards making changes that you can carry into your everyday life, with the aim of feeling ready to continue the work beyond therapy.
Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or wanting to work through longstanding patterns, therapy at Driftwood Psychology Practice provides a space to understand what’s happening and find a way forward.
