How can a psychologist help me?

All of us struggle with challenges at times during our lives, particularly during periods of high stress. Many people find it helpful to see a psychologist when they feel they would benefit from assistance or support to manage the challenges they are facing. Our clients tell us it is often helpful to discuss these things with an objective person who can help them to identify and make the changes they wish to make and learn new skills and strategies to manage life’s challenges.


Do I need a referral?

No, you don't need a referral to see a psychologist. However, some people are eligible for a Medicare rebate and you will need a referral from your Doctor to receive this rebate.


How do I know my discussions with a psychologist will be confidential?

Psychologists operate under a code of ethics that upholds confidentiality in most circumstances. Your psychologist will discuss the limits of confidentiality with you in the first consultation. Generally, a psychologist needs your approval to release any information about you to another person. Exceptions to this are in the rare event that your case files are subpoenaed by a court or if there are concerns about an individual's safety.
