In-Home Counselling
In home counselling can be provided for a range of psychological concerns, including, but not limited to:
- Social phobia/agoraphobia
- Depression

- Grief/loss

- Relationship problems
- Managing chronic illness
- Behaviour modification

Many clients find accessing psychological support in their own homes to be less stressful. In addition, for clients with a problem that has lead to significant withdrawal, it may be necessary to begin treatment within a safe space. For some clients with significant health problems, home visits may offer the simplest means of accessing psychological support.
To take advantage of the medicare rebate a client needs to have consulted with a GP to create a mental health care plan which entitles them to access up to ten sessions per year. If you wish to clarify what your entitlement is, you can speak to a GP about your referral options.

Note: Bulk Billing is available for eligible clients. See link to determine medicare eligibility.
