Individual, couple counselling, and family counselling online via zoom.
At Oakwise Therapy, we're committed to making mental health support as accessible as possible. We understand that financial hardship can be a barrier to seeking counselling, and we do our best to accommodate people facing financial difficulty. If cost is a concern, we encourage you to discuss your circumstances with us — we're often able to offer a reduced fee so that finances are less of a barrier to getting support.
To best support our clients, we generally recommend fortnightly sessions, creating a consistent and supportive therapeutic environment. We understand that each individual, couple or family is unique, and their counselling journey should reflect that. To ensure a good fit and provide tailored recommendations, we offer a free 30-minute intake session. During this session, we discuss your needs, answer any questions you may have, and collaboratively determine the most suitable counselling plan for your circumstances.
Through the Better Access Initiative, many people can receive a Medicare rebate for their psychology sessions. It’s designed to make support more accessible, so more Australians can get the help they need when they need it.
Ask for a “longer consult” or “mental health consult” so your doctor has time to chat through what’s been going on.
There’s no right or wrong way to explain things — just share what’s been happening and why you’re seeking support.
They’ll ask a few questions, discuss your symptoms, and if you are eligible, will create the plan with you.
They can refer you to a specific psychologist on our team, or leave it open for us to match you with the best fit.
Email it through, or bring a copy along — and we handle the rebate process from there. It’s all very straightforward, and if you ever feel unsure about the steps, we’re more than happy to walk you through it – just get in touch at zohreh@oakwisetherapy.com.au
At Oakwise Therapy, we believe in the power of compassionate support to help create positive change, foster resilience and support meaningful growth.
