Service Information

New Collingwood Studio

Bookings are now open at the new arts, wellbeing, and movement studio that my partner and I are setting up in Collingwood Yards.

Located on Level 2 of the Perry Street Building, the studio is a bright and open space (60 square metres), embedded within a vibrant community of artists and independent arts organisations working across music, visual arts, performance, digital media, creative industries, and beyond.

Online and in-person appointments are offered at Collingwood Yards on Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Saturday early morning, and all day on Wednesday and Thursday. On Fridays I work from home and offer online appointments from my clinic based in Carlton.

Before attending an initial appointment at Collingwood Yards, please plan your visit by reading these Visitor and Accessibility guides.

The studio is open by appointment only.

Terms of Service

Payment Methods

Fees are payable by card and processed online at the end of your appointment.

Medicare & Health Fund Claims

I can submit Medicare claims on your behalf. However, you will need to submit any overseas student or private health cover claims directly to your insurer.

Third Party Funders

Services covered by third-party funders will usually be billed directly to your funder, although in some cases upfront payment may be required.

Note that I don’t offer services through third party funders who pay below my consultation fees. Please contact me before booking to check your coverage.

Changes in Financial Circumstances

Please let me know if your financial circumstances change, and we can adjust your fee tier accordingly—up or down.

Fee Adjustments

Fees are subject to change and are usually adjusted at the start of each financial year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Medicare Benefits Schedule.

Between-Session Contact

I am unable to provide frequent or extensive mental health support or advocacy between appointments. A list of complementary and crisis support services is available on the Contact page.

Supporting documents and comprehensive assessments and reports

I'm happy to provide brief supporting letters for established clients as part of their ongoing psychotherapy. However, I don't offer comprehensive psychological assessments or detailed report-writing services, such as::

  • Medicolegal reports

  • Learning differences assessments

  • Formal diagnostic assessments for ADHD or Autism.
