FAQS
What is the difference between a counsellor / psychotherapist and a psychologist?
A psychologist is trained to observe behaviour, apply specific therapies and diagnose mental illness.
A counsellor/psychotherapist will use modalities to focus on deeper issues to help process trauma, grief, depression, personality structuring or developing greater insight of your “self."
Can I claim the medicare rebate on my mental health plan?
No. Sessions with me are not covered by Medicare. However, your out of pocket expenses will be less than under a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
Will sessions cost more than with a Psychologist under a Mental Health Plan from a GP?
No. Most psychologists charge more than $250 per session and you will get approximately $90 back from Medicare, leaving you $160 out of pocket. Sessions with Christine cost less than that.
What type of payments do you accept?
I accept Cash, EFTPOS or Credit Card.
Bank transfers are available for Zoom sessions and must be cleared before the session.
What can I expect in my first session?
The first session is about getting to know each other. It is an opportunity for you to express your concerns or current presenting issues. It is also an opportunity to ask me whatever you need and to discuss any goals you may have.
