Appointments and Enquiries
I welcome new enquiries and am able to support some new clients at times throughout the year. I currently consult on weekdays via telehealth and also face-to-face at selected times at my rooms in Hawthorn East.
Telehealth videocalls are a convenient way to support your psychological well-being in the comfort of your own surroundings. Telehealth sessions are conducted over a secure video platform. Recent research has shown telehealth to be as effective as face-to-face therapy in terms of clinical outcomes and symptom reduction. Please ensure you have a quiet and private space from which to participate in your telehealth session.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss a possible appointment on 0405 48 4770 or email [email protected].
Please note: This practice is not a crisis service.
If you require urgent assistance please contact the police or ambulance on 000.

Fees and Rebates
Please contact me to discuss my current fee schedule. Medicare rebates may be available for clinical psychological services through a referral (“mental health care plan”) from your GP. Under these plans, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions in a calendar year. Please bring any referrals or mental health plans with you to your first appointment.
Rebates may be available from Private Health Insurers if you hold ancillary cover with your Private Health Insurance, if Medicare support does not apply or you choose to attend privately.
