Length of sessions with Sarah?
Typically, sessions are 60 or 90 minutes in duration. We recommend initially a 90 minute session when possible.
Is a mental health care plan or GP referral required to see Sarah?
No, a GP referral or mental health care plan is not required and sessions can be ongoing and flexible.
Do I receive a Medicare rebate after payment?
Psychotherapists and counsellors are not currently covered under Medicare rebates. I am however a registered provider with BUPA and GUHealth. Please check with your health fund to see which rebates are available to you.
Sarah’s rates for psychotherapy and counselling are comparable to the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by seeing most psychologists.

Further details
Some private health fund rebates are available. Please contact your health fund for information regarding rebates.
A minimum of eight sessions is recommended to give clients the opportunity to explore the issues they bring to therapy.
Payment for counselling is taken at time of consultation, or in advance if online/Telehealth.
Therapy can be conducted online via a video platform which may offer flexibility due to illness/work/travel commitments. When booking, choose the TELEHEALTH option and a link will be sent to you at time of booking. Please contact me with any questions.
If you find yourself in crisis, other means of support are available if you are struggling right now. Please click on the Resources page of this website and see the help immediately available.
Please be prompt as sessions commencing later than the scheduled time will be required to end at the appointed time and still incur the full session fee.
Cancellation/Rescheduling Policy - If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I ask that you give one (24 hours) days notice or the full fee will be incurred.
