Strengths based, person centred approach drawing upon the Power Threat Meaning Framework, which is oppositional to the medical model, looking less at labels & more at your context. We practice eclectically which means we draw upon multiple approaches & interventions inclusive of evidence-based Neuroscience & Positive Psychology. This means sessions can be tailored uniquely to you.

We work with adults (18+) & have experience with men, women, couples, families, victims of abuse, & military veterans specifically.

Psychometric outcome measures are a standard and scientific method used to measure experiences, symptoms, capabilities, & behaviours. It's possible to measure just about anything these days, but outcome measures are best used when they're interpreted with a professional, in context, and over time. We use a state-of-the-art psychometric system, which graphs symptoms & experiences throughout your therapy/coaching, so you can get a clear picture of your progress. It also automatically calculates percentile ranks, which helps us to understand your experiences amongst the general population (& has helped our clients to realise how "normal" their experiences are). 

How ever long it takes. Everyone is different, some people come for one session, others stay for the long haul. Some therapies are a little more specific than others, for example, CPT is typically a 12 week program, but this is why an initial assessment & goal setting is so important, so we can get an idea of what the scope of sessions is for you, uniquely. 

Therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing, while coaching focuses on setting and achieving specific goals. 

To get the most out of therapy or coaching, weekly/fortnightly sessions are recommended. CPT & EMDR sessions should be done weekly for best possible outcomes. If you're really looking for a bit of mental maintenance, then monthly might be enough for you.

We charge $150 per 50-minute session unless otherwise specified. 

EMDR is conducted over 90-minutes. 

We offer a free 15-minute initial consultation. 

Open Arms & Victim Services clients will not be charged. 

A "Sliding Scale" fee is discretionally available & individually assessed. 

In Australia if you have a MHCP, you can claim back $79.05 per session, & if you meet the Extended Medicare Safety Net threshold, 80% of your out-of pocket cost can also be covered. We accept Open Arms referrals, Bupa globally, & your private insurance may also cover this cost for you.
