Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches
Our team offers evidence-based support across a broad range of mental health concerns. Each service is delivered by registered practitioners using approaches aligned with your needs and circumstances.
The therapeutic approach used in your sessions is determined by your presenting concerns, your goals, and what your practitioner recommends following an initial assessment. Therapy Near Me practitioners work within evidence-based frameworks. Approaches that may be drawn upon include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches, among others.
The specific approach used will depend on the practitioner you are matched with and what is most appropriate for your individual situation. Your practitioner will explain their recommended approach and why it suits your circumstances. You are encouraged to ask questions throughout.
Common Mental Health Challenges We Support in Canberra
Our practitioners have experience supporting people across a broad range of presentations, including:
Medicare Rebates and NDIS Support
Medicare
Eligible clients with a valid GP Mental Health Treatment Plan or eligible referral may be able to claim Medicare rebates when they see an eligible registered psychologist or other eligible Medicare provider. Medicare rebates do not apply to every counselling session or every practitioner type.
If you would like to use Medicare rebates, our intake team can help explain which practitioners and appointment types may be eligible. Your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician determines referral eligibility. Speak with them about whether a Mental Health Treatment Plan is appropriate for your circumstances.
NDIS
Eligible NDIS participants may be able to use their plan funding for our services where the support is reasonable and necessary, related to their disability support needs, and included under the relevant funding category. Therapy Near Me can support self-managed and plan-managed participants, depending on the participant's plan and service requirements. Our intake team can help clarify whether our services are appropriate for the participant's goals, funding category, and support needs.
Private Sessions
Psychology sessions are available without a GP referral on a private-pay basis. Contact our team on 1800 632 763 or visit our Fees and Rebates page for current pricing.
