You can take advantage of a complimentary 15-minute consultation. This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your needs, explore how I can support you, and get a feel for whether I might be the right fit.

You may be wondering who else is a good fit for you. Here is a list of other queer psychologists and LGBTQIA-friendly therapists in Melbourne.

Fees & Weekly Sessions

I specialise in providing counselling services to the adult LGBTQIA+ community in Melbourne. I work with new clients weekly. Research indicates this gets the best outcomes for clients.

The fee for a 60-minute session is $230 until the end of 2024.

UPDATE: My fee for a 60-minute session was adjusted to $250 on January 3rd, 2025.

The last review of the fee for counselling occurred in early 2021 when the counselling module shifted from 50-minute to 60-minute sessions.

For clients using a mental health care plan, you can access ten sessions per calendar year. The rebate is $77.10

At this stage, I do not process Medicare claims on the client’s behalf.
