Tailored Telehealth Sessions
Your wellbeing is my priority, and I offer flexible telehealth sessions so you can connect with me from the comfort of your own space. Whether you prefer a video call or an audio-only session, we can create an environment that feels right for you. Just let me know your preference when booking or send a quick email to my admin team, and we’ll set it up.

In-Person Sessions
While telehealth is my primary format, I understand that some clients may prefer the connection of in-person sessions. If you’re interested in meeting face-to-face, let’s explore availability together. These sessions are offered on a limited basis, depending on my current location and schedule. Please email to book directly.

When I’m in My Usual Office:

• Session Availability: I offer both face-to-face and telehealth sessions from 9 am to 4 pm, with some after-hours appointments at no extra cost to accommodate your schedule. If you prefer an in-clinic session, please email me directly to arrange a time that suits you.

• Using Your MHCP: If you have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP, I accept this to help cover your session costs. After each session, you'll receive a receipt to claim your rebate directly with Medicare. It's important to track the number of sessions used under your MHCP and inform me when you're nearing the limit or need to renew/extend your plan for uninterrupted care.

• Flexible Payment Options: You have the option to switch between using an MHCP and private insurance for different sessions. However, please note that you can't use both for the same session.

When I’m Outside My Usual Office:

• Session Availability: When I'm working remotely, I shift my focus to offering primarily evening sessions. This allows for greater flexibility and is perfect for those who need support outside of typical work hours. Whether you're winding down from the day or have a quiet moment to focus on yourself, these evening sessions are tailored to fit seamlessly into your routine.

• Flexible Payment Options: During this time, MHCPs cannot be used. However, private health insurance can still be accessed to cover the cost of your sessions. Understanding the need for accessible care, I’ve readjusted my fees during this period to ensure you can continue receiving support without added financial stress.

• Continued Care: Even though the structure may change, my commitment to providing consistent and high-quality care remains the same. You can count on the same level of personalized support, whether in the usual office setting or during remote sessions.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the process or your plan. Your care and convenience are my top priorities.

Standard Fees

Investing in your mental and emotional well-being is a powerful step. My standard session fees are as follows:

• Remote Telehealth (Evenings):

  • Initial Consultation: $180 for a 50-minute session

  • Follow-Up Sessions: $170 for a 50-minute session

Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP): If you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, it can be applied to the $220 in-office or telehealth sessions conducted within Australia. Please note that MHCP rebates cannot be accepted when I am providing services while working remotely.

Subsidised Fees

I understand that everyone’s financial situation is different, and I’m committed to making therapy accessible. I offer a limited number of subsidised slots at reduced rates:

• $149 per 50-minute session

• $129 per 50-minute session

These slots are offered based on financial need and current availability. If you believe you may qualify, we can discuss your circumstances to ensure therapy remains accessible and affordable.

Payment and Insurance

Payments are processed at the time of your session. I accept card payments, which can be handled automatically if your details are stored in the system. After your session, you will receive an invoiced receipt, which can be submitted directly to your private health insurer for reimbursement (depending on your level of cover). Please note that it is your responsibility to check with your insurer whether mental health services are included in your policy.

Cancellation Policy
I understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment. If that happens, I just ask that you let me know as soon as possible.

• Rescheduling: You can cancel or reschedule your session up until 9am the business day before your appointment without any fees.

• Late Cancellations: Cancellations after this time will incur a $70 fee, and no-shows or cancellations within 2 hours of the appointment will incur a $120 fee.

• Communication: If you’re facing barriers to attending your sessions, please reach out. We can work together to find a solution that supports your journey.

Your Privacy
Your privacy and confidentiality are at the heart of our work together. Whether we’re meeting in-person or online, you can trust that your personal information and the content of our sessions will remain private.

• Confidentiality: What we discuss stays between us, unless there’s a legal obligation to disclose—such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by a court order.

• Data Protection: For telehealth sessions, I use secure, encrypted platforms to protect your data. All personal information, including session notes, is stored securely and in compliance with privacy regulations.

• Your Rights: You have the right to access your records, request corrections, and understand how your information is used and stored. If you ever have concerns, please don’t hesitate to bring them to me—I’m here to ensure you feel safe and respected.

Holistic and Evidence-Based Therapies
At Conscious Shift, I integrate a variety of evidence-based therapies to support your mental and emotional wellbeing. My approach is holistic, recognizing that your mind, body, and relationships are interconnected. Each therapeutic method is chosen with care, tailored to meet your unique needs and help you create meaningful, lasting change.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): This structured approach helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours, empowering you to improve your mood and enhance your coping skills.

• Solution-Focused Therapy: Aiming directly at your goals, this therapy emphasizes finding practical solutions rather than dwelling on problems, helping you focus on what’s possible and within your reach.

• Motivational Interviewing: This collaborative method enhances your motivation and resolves ambivalence, particularly useful when you’re seeking to make significant behavioural changes.

• Schema Therapy: We explore and reshape deep-seated patterns or schemas that influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This therapy helps you understand the origins of these patterns and guides you toward healthier ways of thinking and being.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): A mindfulness-based approach that encourages you to accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment while committing to actions that align with your core values, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

• Somatic Therapy: Recognizing the connection between mind and body, this therapy uses physical techniques to release tension and improve emotional wellbeing, helping you feel more grounded and at peace.

• Mindfulness-Based Therapies: Incorporating practices such as meditation, breathwork, and yoga, these therapies promote relaxation, awareness, and emotional balance, fostering a deeper connection to yourself and the present moment.

• Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Rooted in decades of research, this approach focuses on strengthening relationships through practical, evidence-based techniques. The Gottman Method helps couples improve communication, manage conflict, and build a deeper connection, fostering a strong, resilient partnership.

Integrating These Approaches
Each of these therapies is woven into a holistic approach that considers your whole self—mind, body, and relationships. Together, we’ll create a personalized path that nurtures your mental and emotional wellbeing, helping you to heal, grow, and thrive.

At Conscious Shift, I offer couples therapy sessions designed to help you and your partner(s) deepen your connection, navigate challenges, and build a stronger relationship. Whether you’re seeking to improve communication, resolve conflicts, or simply reconnect, these sessions provide a supportive space to explore and grow together.

Evidence-Based Approach
Our sessions draw inspiration from the Gottman Method of Couples Counselling, a well-researched approach known for its effectiveness in improving relationship dynamics. These sessions can range from 50 to 80 minutes, giving you the time and space needed to address your unique concerns.

Inclusive and Affirming Practice
At Conscious Shift, everyone is welcome. I’m proud to offer an LGBTQIA+ friendly practice that embraces all individuals and couples, regardless of your relationship structure. Whether you’re in a monogamous relationship, a polyamorous dynamic, or another type of partnership, this is your safe space to explore relationship issues, resolve conflicts, and set meaningful goals—both individually and together.

Areas of Focus

• Relationship dynamics (monogamous, polyamorous, etc.)
