- Medicare rebates available
- NDIS supported
Who Comes to See Us
Common, Specific Reasons People Book In
- A child or teen is finding school harder to manage than it used to be — sensory load, friendships, or just keeping it together until the bell.
- An adult has recently been diagnosed (or suspects they might be) ADHD or autistic, and wants support that doesn’t start from “how do we fix this.”
- Anxiety or low mood has been building for a while, and self-help hasn’t quite covered it.
- A parent wants practical, specific strategies for the actual mornings and bedtimes they’re dealing with — not general parenting theory.
- Something’s shifted — a move, a breakup, a job change, a diagnosis — and it’s taking longer than expected to find your footing.
Our Approach to Therapy
Neuroaffirming
We treat ADHD, autism and other neurodivergence as difference, not a problem to solve. The goal is understanding your brain, not overriding it.
Paced by you
There’s no set script or session count. We slow down or speed up based on what feels manageable, not a treatment calendar.
Collaborative
For younger clients, we loop in parents, teachers or allied health where it helps — with your say on who’s involved and how much.
Concrete
We aim for strategies specific enough to try that same week — not general insight you’re left to translate into action alone.
By Age Group
What neuroaffirming sessions look like at each stage
Early Childhood (Ages 4-7)
- Sessions run mostly through play, drawing and games — not sit-down conversation
- Building basic emotional vocabulary (“big feelings” made nameable)
- Settling into kinder or the early years of school
- Parents usually in the room throughout
- At this age, a good chunk of the work is often parenting support — helping you respond in the moment, rather than the child “doing therapy” alone
Older Children & Younger Teens (Ages 8-13)
- A mix of conversation and activity-based work, depending on what the young person prefers
- Friendship dynamics, self-esteem and fitting in
- Managing school workload, focus and organisation
- More one-on-one time, with parent check-ins at the start or end of session
Older Teens & Adults (14+)
- Private, one-on-one sessions — parents aren’t in the room unless requested
- Anxiety, low mood, burnout and identity
- Late-identified ADHD or autism, and what that means day-to-day
- Life transitions: study, work, relationships, moving out
Parents and Carers
- Practical strategies for specific, everyday situations
- Understanding your child’s behaviour without a blame framework
- Circle of Security–informed parent coaching
- Can run alongside — or instead of — your child’s own sessions
Before You Book
What happens before – and during – your first two sessions
A short intake call with our admin team
Before you’re booked in with a clinician, someone from our team will speak with you for 10–15 minutes to get the basics: what’s going on, what you’re hoping for, and which of our clinicians might be the best fit — by age, approach, or availability.
You tell us what’s going on
No forms to fill out in the waiting room — we ask about what’s brought you in, in your own words, and what you’d want different.
We map out what might help
By the end of session two, you’ll have a working sense of what we’ll focus on and roughly how many sessions that might take — not a rigid plan, but not a mystery either.
You decide if it’s a fit
Therapy works better with the right match. If it doesn’t feel right after a couple of sessions, we’ll say so and help you find someone who might suit better.
Fees and Funding
| Session Type | Fee (50-minutes) |
| Provisional Psychologist | $190 |
| Registered Psychologist | $270 |
Medicare
With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you can access up to 10 rebated sessions per calendar year with a registered psychologist. The current rebate is $101.55 per session. Provisional psychologist sessions aren’t eligible for a Medicare rebate — which is reflected in the lower fee.
NDIS
If your plan includes funding for therapeutic supports, we can work with self-managed participants. Current NDIS rates are $232.99/hr (registered) and $156.16/hr (provisional).
Private Health
Many private health policies offer a rebate for psychology sessions under extras cover. Check directly with your provider for your specific level of cover.
