All fees and FAQsCommon questions
How many sessions should we book?
Depending on your specific needs, we find most couples need six to 12 sessions, and more in complex situations. Booking a few sessions ahead helps keep regular times available.
Do we need a referral?
No. You can book directly online or by phone.
What if my partner doesn't want to come?
You can start on your own with a therapist who understands how couples work, and invite your partner when they're ready.
Is couples counselling covered by Medicare?
No. Medicare only rebates individual psychology sessions, not couples therapy, whether it's with a psychologist or a counsellor.
What is Gottman Method Couples Therapy?
An approach that starts with a detailed assessment of your relationship, then works on communication, handling conflict, intimacy, respect and affection.
Can we have sessions online?
Yes. All our practitioners offer sessions by Zoom, and Georgia and Isabella work online only. Session times are in Brisbane time.
