Can I keep meeting you weekly, after the six weeks?

After the six-week intensive, I encourage taking a therapeutic break to integrate the work done. The six-week program is designed to be goal-focused and intentional.

  • Further Sessions: We can discuss the option of additional sessions, such as a further 4-weekly sessions, which aligns with the Medicare model of 10 rebated sessions per calendar year. These would focus on specific trauma or relational issues.

  • Future Sessions: We might also schedule another six-week block later in the year. However, some of these sessions might not be rebated, depending on how many Medicare-rebated sessions you’ve used that year.


Can we meet fortnightly, three weekly or monthly?

I’m currently focusing on immersive programs rather than traditional therapy models. Research supports that more concentrated EMDR therapy sessions enhance memory consolidation and overall effectiveness.

Session Frequency: I do not offer fortnightly, three-weekly, or monthly sessions outside of the immersive programs. These programs are designed for those who are committed to making significant changes and improving their quality of life through concentrated therapy.

Commitment: My approach is to work intensively with a smaller number of clients to ensure quality and presence in each session, aligning with my own professional sustainability as a trauma and couples therapist.


Will there be EMDR therapy?

Yes, the therapy will include EMDR, along with additional approaches. It will integrate relational intelligence and a systemic perspective to provide a comprehensive understanding of you. The interventions will combine EMDR and Schema Therapy techniques to support trauma healing effectively.


Do you provide a Medicare rebate?

Yes, Medicare rebates are available with a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. Here’s how it works:

  • Rebate Amount: $85.20 per session.

  • Eligibility: All six sessions can be rebated.

  • Processing: Please email me a copy of your current MHCP. I will process the rebate after each session.

Do you offer a discovery call for six weekly sessions?

Currently, discovery calls are offered for the EMDR Intensives and Couples Immersive programs only. For the six weekly sessions:

  • Pre-Session Questionnaire: I will send you a pre-session questionnaire to understand more about your needs and determine if I am the right fit for you.

  • Assessment Session: If I can assist, I will provide options for an assessment session.

  • Session Booking: We will secure all six sessions at this point to ensure availability and accommodate the work planned.
