Services and Fees

What to expect on your first session

Your initial session will involve a clinical interview. This helps your psychologist learn about the presenting concerns and history to assist them with planning treatment.

Subsequent sessions may involve the provision of interventions and strategies, to build on your coping skills and work towards your treatment goals.

Sessions with JM Psychology are solely conducted via telehealth as phone or video consults (Coviu). If your appointment is a video consult, your psychologist will send you a secure link prior to your first appointment.

Therapies

Our psychologists are trained in a range of evidence-based treatments. Upon assessing your presenting concerns, your psychologist will suggest a treatment plan using strategies from one or more of the following.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, and patterns of thinking.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and emotional distress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change or avoid them.

Play Therapy

Play Therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach primarily used to help express feelings, process experiences and develop coping skills through play. People may not always have the words to express their emotions, play becomes their language. This can be done using toys, art materials, and games in a safe and structured environment.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with concepts of mindfulness and acceptance.

ADHD Skills Training

ADHD Skills Training focuses on strategies to help individuals manage the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and improve daily functioning. This approach teaches skills such as time management, organization, impulse control, and focusing on tasks.

Fees and Cancellation Policy

The fee for a standard 50-minute session is $195. This fee is taken at the end of your appointment. If you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you would recieve a Medicare rebate after your appointment ($98.97). This means an out-of-pocket of $96.03 for those appointments.

Our fee is lower than recommended rates, and those of other local private practices to provide an accessible service.

JM Psychology operates sessions online and face to face. Payments are taken online through Halaxy.

If you require a support letter or report from your psychologist, please inform us during the intake process to determine if we can accommodate your request.
