Counselling and Therapeutic Services

For private therapy, no referral is needed; you can book a session as soon as you’re ready.

If you would like to attend under a Mental Health Care Plan, please speak with your doctor and seek a referral to our service.

We hope to reduce red tape and make this an easy process for you. When you are ready to connect, you can do so via our website (click here), emailing at inbox@pragmaticpractice.com.au, or by calling/texting us on 0468 995 104.

In short, e-therapy is just as effective as face-to-face sessions for many people with varying presentations. If you are unsure whether e-therapy will meet your needs, please reach out to talk with us.

Yes! We provide face-to-face sessions in Darwin and Hobart, and e-therapy sessions Australia-wide.

Please contact us to confirm the cost of your session as we have people attending through various referral pathways. Pending your situation, you may be eligible for a Medicare or Private Health Insurance rebate.

If your workplace uses our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), fees are paid by your employer. For further information about this service, please click here.

We know life happens, unforeseen events pop up, and you may need to change or cancel your booking. Please provide us with as much notice as possible so we can offer the appointment time to another client. Our reschedule and cancellation policy will be provided when you book your first session. This relates to changes requested within 48-hours of your session time.

As with all relationships in life, sometimes the client/therapist relationship doesn’t feel like a good fit. If you experience this, we strongly encourage you to talk with your therapist or contact our service. We are happy to organise for you to see an alternate counsellor at our service.

There is no set number, and you and your therapist will discuss this during therapy. Ultimately, the number of sessions you have will relate to your presenting concerns, progress, ability to attend, and preferences.
