How many psychology sessions will I need?

At Still Moving, most people see us for 6 to 10 sessions. We clarify goals early and review progress as we go. If it becomes clear that you would benefit from support beyond this timeframe, your psychologist will discuss this with you openly. Our aim is not to extend therapy unnecessarily, but to ensure you receive the right support.

How many psychology sessions does Medicare cover?

With a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, Medicare currently provides rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Medicare rebates range from approximately $100 to $145 under mental health care plans.

What type of therapy do you use?

Evidence-based psychological practice. A range of treatment modalities are drawn upon and individualised to the patient. These may include: CBT, solution-focused therapy, IFS, Schema, EMDR. We work collaboratively and adapt therapy flexibly to support focused shorter term work.

Standard 50-minute individual therapy sessions are usually between $280 and $300, depending on the therapist. Our fees are guided by the Australian Psychology Society (APS) guidelines. Medicare rebates are available with a valid GP referral.

What conditions do you specialise in?

Common conditions we see: ADHD in adulthood, Anxiety and overthinking, Low mood and depression, Burnout and stress, Parenthood and life transitions, Attachment and relational issues, and Perfectionism. Conditions currently outside the scope of our practice include: Personality disorders, Complex Trauma and PTSD, Anorexia, Schizophrenia & Psychoses, Substance use & addiction, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Crisis or acute risk, Family violence, Forensic or legal matters, and Workplace or third-party claims.
