The initial session is important for developing a shared understanding of your current situation and exploring its underlying reasons.

We will address any questions, discuss important aspects such as safety, privacy, and confidentiality, and collaboratively develop a treatment plan.

This session is also an opportunity to ensure that I am the right fit for you as a therapist. It's important you feel understood and believe that I can help you work through your challenges and move forward effectively.

Clients do not require a referral to see a Psychologist at Aspiring Psychology.

You may be seen as a private client if you wish.

You need a referral (called a Mental Health Treatment Plan) from your GP or Psychiatrist to access a Medicare rebate. Please see below for further information about this.

MEDICARE MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT PLAN (MHTP)

Seeing your General Practitioner (GP) or obtaining a referral from a Psychiatrist or Paediatrician, you may be able to get a MHTP as part of the Australian Government's Better Access Scheme to help cover the cost of psychological therapy.

A MHTP enables you to access up to 10 Individual rebateable psychology sessions per calendar year. Rebates are available for telephone, online and face-to-face appointments. Often, your GP will provide a referral for an initial six sessions. Usually, following the six sessions, a GP review will be undertaken, and another four sessions may be provided.

A valid MHTP will be required if clients wish to claim the Medicare rebate of up to $101.55 which will reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
