Anyone can refer themselves to a counsellor for mental health challenges, personal concerns and life guidance. As counselling sessions are not funded by the government (Medicare), you do NOT need a GP referral or MHCP in order to access therapy sessions with a counsellor.
The number of sessions you can access with a counsellor is unlimited and is often considered a long-term personal journey. Counselling can be a few sessions, short-term or long-term depending on the client’s individual needs and the presenting issues.
As you fund the cost of the sessions yourself, it is up to you to choose how many sessions you wish to attend with your counsellor, and how often you access these therapeutical services.
At Keia Ola Healing, our counsellors are tertiary qualified, holding a Master’s degree from an accredited university.
The counsellors are also required to hold an association with a professional governing body of counselling such as the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) or Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
Counsellors are mental health professionals with specialised training and experience in talk-therapies. They utilise interpersonal skills and work collaboratively with clients to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Psychologists are regulated health care professionals who are registered with AHPRA. They generally see clients who have been diagnosed with a mental health problem, or who are suffering from more severe and complex issues.
Clients who for various reasons are unable to attend in person appointments may be able to arrange in home services. Please discuss your individual needs with our intake team.
If you need to cancel your scheduled appointment, please provide 48 hours notice or you may be required to pay the full fee.
Please contact us on 0415 555 564 if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If you reschedule your appointment at the time of cancellation, the cancellation fee may not apply. Individual circumstances will be considered.
