Frequently asked questions.
What services do you offer?
Individual therapy sessions to adults and adolescents 14+. I also complete ADHD and Autism assessments.
Clinical supervision (see supervision page).
Do I need a referral?
A referral is not necessary to book an appointment, although to access Medicare rebates you will need a referral and management plan from a GP or psychiatrist.
Types of management plans:
Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) :
10 sessions per calendar year
Eating Disorder Plan (EDP):
40 sessions per 12 months from referral date
Please ask your GP to send your referral and MHCP/EDP to admin@soulfulgrowthpsychology.com
Do you work with children?
Unfortunately, not at this time. I support individuals from 14-65 years. I can however, work with caregivers with parenting concerns.
Do you bulk bill?
No. I can however, discuss a reduced fee for client’s with a valid concession card or financial difficulties. This is considered on a case-by-case basis and reviewed every 3 months.
Do you provide NDIS supports?
No.
Do you write court reports for medical or legal purposes?
No.
What type of therapies do you offer?
I have an eclectic style meaning I choose the modality to use based on what I can see you respond well to. This might mean using several different modalities. Some of the modalities I may use are:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Flash Technique, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Psychodynamic Therapy.
For further information on some of these therapies, see the services page
Hours of operation:
Face-to-face appointments are currently available on Tuesdays between 7am - 4pm PM AEST. Some after hours and Saturday appointments are available for supervisee’s. If you are seeking telehealth appointments, please contact me to discuss additional availability.
What to expect:
In your first session the focus will be on understanding the difficulties that you are seeking help with. You can expect to be asked questions across your lifespan so that we are able to reach a shared understanding of the problems and a path forward. History taking may take up most of the first several sessions as it’s important I have a strong understanding of you before engaging treatment.
Over the course of our work together, you will develop a greater understanding of yourself, and work toward making lasting change. The intensity and pace of therapy sessions will vary depending on your individual preference. This can be flexible to your needs as they change.
