Fee

We do not bulk bill or offer concession rates.

Hourly fee = $250.00*  

Invoices are issued after each session and payment is required before commencement of each subsequent session.  Payments are made by bank transfer.

*Please note:  The current fee of $250 per hour is effective from January 2025.  Fees will be subject to an increase of 10% at the beginning of each calendar year.  Integrated Psychology fees are less than the 2024 - 2025 Australian Psychological Society recommended fee which is $311 per hour.  

Initial assessment session:

All new referrals require an initial assessment session.  An initial assessment session is conducted over 90 minutes and the fee for initial assessment is $375.00.  The initial assessment session allows you to meet with Catherine to discuss your therapy goals. Catherine will ask questions about your past and current health so that she can understand your therapy needs and offer a therapy plan.  Depending on your therapy needs and your therapy goals, Catherine may offer short term therapy or longer term therapy.

Short term therapy:

Following an initial therapy session, you may decide to pursue TRTP.  TRTP is generally conducted across 3 consecutive weeks.  You will meet with Catherine on two consecutive days within the 3 weeks.  Therapy sessions will vary in length between 60, 90 and 120 minutes.  Altogether the therapy takes around 8 - 9 hours.  There two further sessions scheduled one-month and three-month after completion of TRTP.  These follow-up sessions track your progress and ensure you are continuing to meet your treatment goals and continuing to thrive.  Sessions are invoiced at $250.00 per hour.

*Please note extra sessions may be required depending on your circumstances.  This only becomes apparent across the course of therapy and will be discussed with you as you proceed.  Additional sessions will be invoiced at the hourly rate.

Longer term counselling:

Following an initial therapy session, you may decide to pursue longer term therapy.  Sessions will be scheduled according to your need and your treatment goals. Session fees are $250.00 per hour.
