Consultations are 50 minutes.

The number of sessions required is based on individual needs. In the initial appointment/s, Belinda will discuss your needs and therapeutic goals. This will provide an initial determination of the number of sessions which might be indicated. Based on best practice, Belinda will actively review your wellbeing and progress towards your goals as therapy continues. She will collaboratively adjust your therapeutic plan with you as required to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Clients can be referred by their General Practitioner, Psychiatrist, Medical Specialist, School Wellbeing team, another allied health practitioner, or can self-refer. Please reach out via email or telephone for a confidential discussion about your needs.

IN.BALANCE does not offer bulk-billing services. However, financial hardship should not be a barrier to accessing support. Please contact IN.BALANCE to discuss your circumstances.

The full consultation fee is payable at the time of the session. Contact IN.BALANCE to discuss your needs and fees.

MEDICARE

A doctor can refer for psychological support under a Mental Health Care Plan.

As a psychologist with clinical endorsement, the current Medicare rebate is $131.65 per session. At present, Medicare offers rebates for up to 10 sessions in a calendar year under a Mental Health Care Plan.

PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE

If additional sessions are required beyond a Mental Health Care Plan, a client can claim a rebate through private health insurance (depending on policy and level of cover). Please contact your private health insurer to discuss if applicable. Private health rebates cannot be accessed at the same time as Medicare.

SELF REFERRAL

A referral is not required for support and clients can pay privately.
