Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about counselling services
What's the Difference Between a Psychologist and a Counsellor?
Psychologists have completed university degrees in psychology and are registered with AHPRA. They can provide clinical assessment, diagnosis, and structured therapy. Counsellors typically have diplomas or degrees in counselling and provide supportive therapy focused on personal concerns, stress, and relationships. Both offer evidence-based care—we’ll match you with the right practitioner for your needs.
Do I Need a Referral or Mental Health Care Plan?
Not always. If you’re paying privately or using NDIS funding, you don’t need a referral. If you want to access Medicare rebates, you’ll need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, which allows up to 10 subsidised sessions per year.
How Long Do Counselling Sessions Last?
Standard sessions are typically 50-60 minutes. Some practitioners offer shorter sessions for children or extended sessions for couples or family therapy. Duration and frequency are tailored to your needs and goals.
Is Counselling Confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed in counselling is confidential, except in limited situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, child protection concerns, or legal obligations. Your practitioner will explain confidentiality and privacy policies in your first session.
Can I Change Counsellors If It's Not a Good Fit?
Absolutely. Finding the right therapeutic relationship is important. If you feel your current practitioner isn’t the right match, contact us and we’ll help arrange a new therapist at no extra cost.
