What Happens During a Session?

Each session will vary depending upon the client’s needs on the day. As a general framework Sarah will work with you to discuss any pressing concerns/events, follow up on any goals that had been agreed upon since the previous session and discuss any particular ideas or techniques that are relevant. Clear goals will be established across the course of therapy with room for evolution and adaption along the way.

Primarily working with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framewors, Sarah is able to tialor sessions on a very individual basis. A course of therapy will vary depending upon needs and progress but will typically last 6-10 sessions and be held weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Some clients may benefit from a longer course of sessions.

How much does it cost?

The fee is $180 for a 50 minute session with rebates possible through Medicare and private health funds.

Payment is required upon completion of the session, a fee of $50 will be charged for cancelations with less than 24 hours’ notice and any no show/non-attendance appointments (without reasonable explanation) will be charged the full fee of $180.

Sarah is aware that some woman experiencing domestic abuse may be subject to financial control and as such encourages any woman in this position to discuss their situation further with herself or their GP further so that their financial position can be taken into consideration. Sarah also encourages any GPs to contact her directly to discuss concerns regarding potential clients presenting with the challenge of financial control.
