My Therapeutic Approach

Honouring individual differences means I tailor my therapeutic approach to each individual client whilst prioritising evidence-based, trauma-informed practice.

My work is also informed by mindfulness and somatic principles as I look at the whole person, body and mind.

Psychometric assessment is another key component of my practice and helps to inform therapy goals and monitor progress.

  • CBT looks at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Identifying unhelpful patterns can support meaningful change.

  • ACT can help to develop psychological flexibility through learning to accept difficult or uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness, curiosity, and your personal values are central to this approach.

  • This framework considers how your emotional bonds with your primary caregivers early in life may impact your current relationships and perception of the world.

  • Narrative therapy can help you separate your core person and identity from your experiences and challenges. This approach can support you in challenging or rewriting unhelpful narratives and beliefs.

  • IPT is a short-term, structured talk therapy approach which considers your interpersonal relationships and their impact on your mood and wellbeing.

  • SFT is a short-term goal-directed approach to therapy which focuses on developing skills and practical solutions.

Other Important Information

  • I practice through Still Moving Psychology.

    I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

    I offer online and in-person (Thornbury) sessions.

  • Most people attend therapy for 6 to 10 sessions with a Mental Health Treatment Plan. I collaboratively discuss your goals with you, review your progress, and consider if therapy beyond this timeframe is beneficial.

  • Most people attend therapy on a fortnightly or monthly basis. You can consider your own financial and life circumstances to determine which cadence may be suitable for you. I would recommend a rhythm that allows you to build momentum with your therapeutic progress and offers breathing room to consolidate gains in your everyday life.

  • A standard 50-minute individual therapy session at Still Moving Psychology is $260.

    These fees are guided by the Australian Psychology Society (APS) and Australian Association of Psychologists Inc suggested fee schedules.

    Payment is due at the time of consultation. We are unable to Bulk Bill sessions.

  • You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate under the Better Access Initiative if you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from your GP. The current rebate (as of July 2026) is $101.55 per session. Please meet with your GP to discuss your eligibility.

  • To access Medicare rebates under Better Access, you must have a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). This is a personalised plan established by your GP or another relevant medical practitioner.

    A MHTP refers you to a psychologist or another relevant health professional with clear goals for therapy. This plan supports you in accessing therapy and is reviewed regularly by your GP and psychologist to ensure that your care is relevant and helpful.

    With a MHTP you are eligible for 10 rebated psychology sessions each calendar year. After the first 6 sessions your psychologist is required to provide a report to your GP, who may then approve the rebates for the remaining 4 sessions.

  • You may be eligible for a rebate through other insurance schemes (such as private health insurance or the National Disability Insurance Scheme)). Please check your insurance policy to confirm what you are eligible for. You will be required to pay for psychological services at the time of consultation, and can then submit a payment receipt to your insurance provider to claim your rebate.
