Clinical supervision for practitioners

As a registered Board-approved supervisor with over 30 years of clinical experience, I bring the values of Holding Space Collaborative into every supervision relationship—creating a safe, supportive, and genuinely collaborative space for reflection and growth.
Drawing on decades of experience and diverse therapeutic modalities, I particularly enjoy supporting supervisees in developing confidence and competence in trauma-focused work, fostering both professional growth and personal authenticity within their clinical practice.

Fees and Rebates

Session Fees Last updated January 2026

Session fees may vary depending on different services.

The current Australian Psychological Society (APS) Recommended Schedule of Fees is $318 for a standard 45 - 60 minute psychology consultation.

From 1 January 2026, my fee for a 50‑minute therapy session is between $280 - $320.

Medicare or Private

Current Medicare Rebate per session is $145.25 with a Mental Health Plan (10 session per year)

Do I need a referral?

You don’t need a referral to see me.

However, you need to be referred by your GP or psychiatrist to access rebates through Medicare. Your referring doctor will determine your eligibility and complete a Mental Health Treatment Plan to support the referral.

How many sessions can I access under a Mental Health Treatment Plan?

You can access up to 10 sessions per calendar year when clinically indicated under your Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP), also called a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).

What is the rebate amount?

Current Medicare Rebate per session is $145.25

Can I access a private health insurance rebate in addition to Medicare rebates?

Most private health funds rebate Clinical Psychology. Check with your fund for cover eligibility and rebate amounts and annual limit. Please note that private health insurance cannot be used in the same session as Medicare.

How session payments work For assistance with payments, please contact us.

A non-refundable deposit of $100 is payable to secure your initial appointment with me. This deposit is applied toward the cost of your first session. While deposits are non-refundable, this policy helps ensure appointments are reserved for people who are ready and committed to engaging in therapy, and it also helps me manage bookings and make best use of available session times for all clients.

Payment for in-person appointments is required on the day of your session. Telehealth appointments require payment to be completed before your appointment time.

Payment is preferred via STRIPE, where your credit card details are stored securely and the virtual assistant can process your payment, lodge your rebate, and email you an invoice. If you prefer not to use STRIPE, payment can also be made via EFTPOS on the day of your appointment.
