As Dr. Emily Nagowski suggests, in relationships, you don’t need to desire your partner passionately; rather, it’s essential to like them, admire them, and believe they are worth the effort. 

Therapy Pricing Information

Unfortunately, there are no Medicare rebates or GP Mental Health Care Plans currently available for individual counselling, psychosexual therapy, and relational counselling services. However, a rebate may be available through your private health insurance, so please check with your provider to see if a claim can be made for these services.

About the Appointments

Telehealth

Telehealth services may be available for psychosexual therapy, or relational counselling with prior negotiation for existing clients, or if access or travel distance is an issue.

Cancellations

Appointments  that are cancelled or rescheduled between 24 and 48 hours before your appointment time will incur a $50 late cancellation fee. Cancelled appointments within 24 hours  or non attendance will not receive a refund for the cost of the appointment, and no subsequent appointment will be offered if payment is not received. Life can present unexpected challenges, and in some cases, payment due to last-minute cancellation may be waived at my discretion.

Payment

Payment is required before the appointment  via bank transfer, with details available on the invoice. 

Ongoing bookings

After the initial appointment, you can book further sessions via a secure and confidential online portal.

Important Information

Referral

Self-referral is very welcome for those seeking individual counselling, psychosexual therapy, or relational counselling. Please contact me with a few lines about what you will be bringing to the session, and we may also have an initial 10-minute phone call to establish if this is the right place for you.

Health conditions and recent pathology

Sexual well-being can be influenced by physiological changes, medical treatments, surgeries, and different life stages. Understanding your health and medication information is essential for an accurate assessment and to gain insight into your situation. With your permission, your GP or specialist can share this information with me via the contact link or my email address. 

Consent and communication

It is crucial to apply strict ethical and legal standards to protect client confidentiality, particularly in the context of individual counselling and psychosexual therapy. I adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the codes of ethics established by the AASW and SAS. 


I ensure: 


- Secure, encrypted record-keeping 

- Private and confidential sessions, whether in-person or through telehealth services 

- Clear informed consent processes 

- No sharing of information without written consent, unless legally required (e.g. risk of harm) 


Your privacy is always respected and protected .

Social Media

In this era of information overload, I have made a conscious choice not to promote my therapy service on social media or with regular posting. There are so many knowledgeable sexologists with blogs and social media postings, so please feel free to explore them and use my therapy space as a confidential place to discuss your thoughts and findings.


If you have discovered this site then you are a unique person at, the start of a journey which is for you to continue- I have trust you will make that decision for yourself.

I will not be sending you information unless it is in relation to intake, appointments or specific follow-up as consented by you.

Complaints

 Code of Conduct

The national Code of Conduct sets standards for non-registered providers, who are not regulated under the national scheme by AHPRA.

The code became Victorian law on 1 February 2017. Any possible breach of this code by a non-registered provider may be grounds for a complaint to, or investigation by, the Health Complaints Commissioner.

Providers must:

  • Provide safe and ethical healthcare
  • Obtain consent for treatment
  • Take care to protect consumers from infection
  • Minimise harm and act appropriately if something goes wrong
  • Report concerns about other practitioners
  • Keep appropriate records and comply with privacy laws
  • Be covered by insurance
  • Display information about the Code of Conduct and making a complaint.

Providers must not:

Mislead consumers about their products, services or qualifications

  • Put consumers at risk due to any physical or mental health problems
  • Practice under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Make false claims about curing serious illnesses such as cancer
  • Exploit consumers financially
  • Discourage consumers from seeking other health care or refuse to cooperate with other practitioners if they do.

If you are not satisfied with the service, please contact me. I take complaints seriously and aim to resolve them quickly and fairly.

If you remain dissatisfied with my response, you may contact the Health Complaints Commissioner (HCC). The HCC responds to complaints about health services and the handling of health information in Victoria. Their service is free, confidential and impartial. To lodge a complaint with the HCC:

Fill out a complaint form online at https://hcc.vic.gov.au or
Phone 1300 582 113 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday to discuss your complaint.
