FEES & POLICIES
Please Note: Barb is accepting private paying clients only (No Medicare MHCP’s at this time)
From 01 February 2021 fees will be as follows:
Telehealth (phone or Zoom sessions): $120 / 1 hour
Fee is payable at the time of session using Pay ID/direct debit. A receipt will be sent to you to claim your rebate if applicable.
Referrals & Private Insurance: You do not require a referral if you are using private insurance. Most private health insurance companies offer rebates for psychology under the extras program. Please check with your provider.
Personal Referral: You are more than welcome to refer yourself for psychology sessions and pay as a private client.
Confidentiality: Psychologists are bound by ethical guidelines which treat client information in the strictest of confidence. The only exception to this policy is in regard to threats by a client to harm themselves or others. In such situations, a psychologist is required to take the information outside of the counselling room and may contact relevant authorities or individuals.
Cancellation Policy: Barb runs a fairly busy practice and there are often clients on a waiting list to be seen. Therefore, twenty-four hours notice would be greatly appreciated if you need to cancel. A fee of $50 may apply if 24 hours notice is not given.

A lifetime of experience!
Barb currently lives on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland. She loves the simple joys in life: walks on the beach, conversations over a coffee or meal, having a massage, watching the sunset and the full moon rise, traveling to new places & experiencing new things, connecting & sharing stories with newfound friends, hanging out in her garden, going on rainforest walks, snorkeling, practicing yoga with others, sitting around an outdoor fire with friends. In short, Barb loves tapping into “flow,” living in the moment, finding her bliss in the simplicity and beauty of life.
