When you feel ready to open up & share some of your story. When you feel ready to change.

People sometimes arrive in therapy before they are ready and that’s okay. In this case, I will usually kindly send people on their way and let them know my door is always open when they are ready to do the work.

It’s normal to feel nervous before having your first session. Know that the whole process is voluntary. It’s voluntary what you want to share, if you want to remain with me and the number of sessions you have. In the first session I begin by explaining the therapy space, my therapeutic approaches, and various formalities, such as, privacy. Then I will ask you to share your difficulties, your story, if & when you feel ready, so that I can figure out how to best support you. I will ask you what goals you have for therapy and give you a map of what your therapy journey with me will look like (for example, the approximate amount of sessions I think would be helpful).

Yes. You can access up to 10 Medicare rebates of $89.65 for your sessions per year (as of 2023). You need a valid mental health treatment plan and a referral letter from your GP.

• Additional sessions may be available after your first 10 rebates - you will need to discuss these options with your GP.

Walk & Talk therapy combines psychology, movement & the outdoors. Walk & Talk is wonderful for Sydney-based clients who want to incorporate more movement/nature into their day.

It can be confronting to sit opposite someone and open up about your difficulties. Walking alongside each other can allow words to flow more easily.

If you get tired we can sit on a park bench. This approach is weather dependent and only available to you once we have met in the initial therapy session (online or in the clinic) to make sure it’s suitable for you.

Sessions typically happen in Centennial Park or in Hurstville. I will provide you with details in your initial session. You can request an alternative location in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, however, this comes at an extra charge.

Comfortable clothes are recommended.

These sessions are conducted via video or phone conferencing using a secure online platform from the comfort of your home. It’s important you have a private space, where no one can overhear you, and a secure and fast internet connection.

The length of therapy is dependent on your presenting concerns and what you would like to achieve in your time with me. Some people only need a couple of sessions, other people need 20+. Some people come for 10 sessions and take a break, then return to go deeper at a later point.

In my opinion, the goal of psychology is for you to become your own therapist so you don’t need me anymore. When I think you are ready to have a therapy break, or drop down the frequency of your sessions I will let you know.

Yes. This depends on your health fund. You will need to check with your health fund prior to engaging with me to determine what rebates you can access.

Please note, you cannot use your Health fund with a Medicare rebate. You can only use one funding body per session.
