People of all ages, cultures and backgrounds attend therapy. Often, people will attend therapy when an emotional state, behavioural pattern or thought pattern is causing them distress or is impacting their day-to-day functioning in some way. Some people who attend therapy will have a mental health diagnosis, but this is certainly not always the case.

Anyone can book an appointment, with or without a referral. However, if you wish to claim Medicare rebates you will need to visit your GP to discuss a Mental Health Care Plan.

Generally, your first session will be about getting to know as much information as possible about your concerns, as well as other areas of your life like relationships, work, social life, and family. From there, Natasha will work with you to achieve your treatment goals.

Generally, we suggest attending weekly or fortnightly for the first 6-8 sessions, and then in many cases, the frequency can be spread out to three or four weekly. In some cases, more regular appointments will be required for a longer period of time.

Privacy and confidentiality are very important to us. If you decide to book an appointment, or contact us for more information about booking, we will email you our detailed confidentiality and privacy policies to consider and sign prior to commencing. All information disclosed in sessions with a psychologist is confidential. However, there are two exceptions to this rule. The first exception is if you are at risk of harm to yourself or someone else and the second exception is in relation to court orders.
