Individual, couple and family counselling online via secure video, for clients located in Australia.
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 15-minute intake call by phone or video. It is a no-obligation chat about your needs, not a therapy session, and no Medicare claim is made. During this session, we discuss your needs, answer any questions you may have, and collaboratively determine the most suitable counselling plan for your circumstances.
With a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your GP, you can claim a Medicare rebate for individual sessions.
Rebates apply to individual sessions only (not couple or family sessions), for up to 10 sessions each calendar year. A limited number of bulk-billed places are available for people experiencing financial hardship, assessed case by case. Please ask when you get in touch.
Getting a plan is straightforward. If you're unsure about any step, just get in touch.
Book a longer or "mental health" appointment so there's time to talk about how you've been feeling.
If you're eligible, your GP will create the plan with you.
Ask your GP to address the referral to Zohreh Mokhtari at Oakwise Therapy.
Email the plan and referral to zohreh@oakwisetherapy.com.au, and we'll take care of the rebate from there.
Zohreh is an approved counsellor under the NSW Victims Support Scheme. Sessions approved under the scheme have no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule: email zohreh@oakwisetherapy.com.au or call 0457 355 747. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged the full session fee, including bulk-billed sessions, unless there is an emergency. Medicare does not cover cancellation fees. See the full Terms and Conditions.
At Oakwise Therapy, we believe in the power of compassionate support to help create positive change, foster resilience and support meaningful growth.
