can I claim counselling through Medicare?
Not yet. While my fellow counsellors, psychotherapists and general psychologists advocate for your mental health through Medicare funding, rebates are currently only available to Registered Clinical Psychologists who practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
what can I expect?
Making the decision to seek support can be daunting and is not for everyone. We’ll talk through those feelings at first contact to put you at ease.
Counsellors and Psychotherapists often use an integrated approach to therapy which can include a number of different therapeutic modalities to suit the individual needs of the client.
e-therapy connect seems cheaper than most counselling services, why?
No one should have to compromise their emotional and mental health because of financial strain. e-therapy connect has deliberately kept overheads to minimum to ensure that therapy is accessible to all. We do this by providing a number of options for therapeutic delivery (face to face, phone, video, email and chat), ensuring we pay low website fees, no fixed leasing on consulting rooms and no credit card facilities.
how do I pay?
To keep costs to clients down, payments can be received by paypal or e-banking (bank transfer).
