Individual Sessions

We provide 50-minute individual psychology sessions for adults, adolescents and children from seven years of age. Our clinicians use evidence-based, talk-based therapies tailored to each person’s needs, goals and circumstances.

We support clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, low assertiveness, life dissatisfaction, uncertainty about direction or purpose, and challenges associated with ADHD or autism (both support & assessments).

We also aim to run regular Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) groups.

Couples Sessions

Our therapists are passionate about working with couples and supporting meaningful, lasting change in relationships. We use modern, evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Couples sessions are 50 minutes in length and tailored to the unique needs of each relationship.

Individual therapy

Individual therapy provides a private and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences and concerns. It can help you better understand yourself, recognise unhelpful patterns and develop practical ways of managing life’s challenges.

Depending on your goals, therapy may help you improve relationships, communicate more confidently, manage difficult emotions, strengthen coping skills and make meaningful changes in your everyday life.

Couple therapy

Couples therapy can help partners better understand their relationship patterns, communicate more effectively and respond to each other with greater empathy. It may be helpful when a relationship is experiencing conflict, disconnection or a significant change—or when partners simply want to strengthen their relationship.

Each person brings different experiences, needs and ways of communicating into a relationship. Therapy can help you recognise these differences, understand each other more clearly and work together toward a healthier and more secure connection.

At Presence of Mind Psychology, we know that before your first appointment you may be feeling ambivalent, or stressed, frightened, embarrassed, relieved, or all these emotions combined.

When you arrive, you will be welcomed into a comfortable and quiet space. We will talk with you and listen to what has brought you to therapy. We want to get to know you and how you see yourself, the problems you are dealing with, and a little about your history.

Your appointment will be 50minutes long, and, as well as the above, time will be spent on discussing client confidentiality, cancellation policy and answering any questions you may have. Discussions may include length of your treatment and methods to be employed.

Here at Presence of Mind Psychology we are aware that everyone is inherently different, and as such we all have our own ways of coping with issues. There is no one fit for all clients which means people who seek psychological support will be guided by their psychologist in how many sessions they may need. Sometimes people get to resolve their issues with a small number of sessions. Sometimes it is recommended for others to work on their long-term emotional development and as such schedule sessions regularly over a longer period of time.

You do not necessarily need a referral to see a psychologist.  You may pay privately or if you have a Private Health Fund that includes psychology you may wish to use this for part payment of your session.

If you wish to claim a rebate from Medicare, you will require a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP or medical professional. Under a MHCP you are eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions in a calendar year.

Yes, you can.

If you possess a MHCP addressed to an alternate practice or psychologist, you do not need to see your GP to have this changed to an alternative psychologist. Following an initial appointment, your psychologist will write to your referring doctor to indicate you are now under their care.

We provide a receipt for treatment after all private sessions. With this, you may be able to claim a rebate for therapy under ‘Extras’ if you have private health insurance. Please contact your insurer directly regarding the rebate amount as this varies between health funds and depends on your level of cover.

To receive Medicare rebate, you will have to speak with your GP about your eligibility. Your GP or in some circumstances, psychiatrist or paediatrician, will assess whether you have a mental health condition. They usually require a longer appointment; they will speak with you and may ask you to complete a questionnaire. They will then write a Mental Health Care Plan that you will bring to your appointment.

Can I use my Mental Health Care Plan for couple therapy?

No, a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) issued by a GP under Medicare typically covers individual therapy sessions for mental health issues, but it does not extend to couple or family therapy. If you are seeking couple therapy, you would likely need to pay privately or explore alternative funding options depending on the therapist's services.

It might be worth discussing with your GP if there are any exceptions or additional support available for couple therapy, or if any components of individual mental health care can be incorporated into sessions with your partner.

Yes, we do. 

There are many reasons why you may wish to access the video consult instead of coming into the rooms in person.

Presence of Mind Psychology can offer video consults.   We use a highly secure and confidential video conferencing program. It is easy to use and requires no set up by you.

Item descriptionPresence of Mind Psychology sessions are 50 minutes in duration. The “therapeutic hour’ is the industry standard. There are many psychological factors for keeping sessions around this time. The client feels contained, not over exposed to painful emotions. There is a clear endpoint, and you feel safe to feel, process and contain intense emotions. It encourages both the psychologist and you to make the most of the time. Longer sessions may lead to fatigue and over exposure to emotions. You will need time to digest and benefit from the increments of information allowing time to process 

On your first meeting with your psychologist, it is not only important that you feel heard, but you also want to feel understood and that the feedback you are receiving feels that we are on the right track. It is also important to feel respected, validated and that they want the best for you.
