Can I book an Intake Session?

Yes or complete an intake form before the first session.
Do I have to be in an office space for face to face counselling?

No, we have the option of a walk by the river or water, sitting in a park, or another safe and private space that is mutually agreed upon. There are plenty of options! Phone counselling and online counselling are methods widely utilised also, and each bring their benefits.
What approaches and therapy styles does Counselling and Wellbeing by David use?

My counselling is eclectic in nature. With this approach, I tailor my counselling to meet the unique needs of each individual. That is after all, what we all are. I utilise the following approaches (not limited to): Solution Focused Therapy Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Play and art therapy
Are there any rebates and do I need a Mental Health Care Plan?

We do not provide rebates under Medicare for Mental Health Care Plans. This means you do not need to see your GP or obtain a Mental Health Care Plan to access my services. There are no restrictions on the number of sessions you can access in a 12-month period. By not operating under Medicare, I can offer a truly personalized approach without being bound to prescribed treatment modalities.
Am I locked into counselling?

No, there are no set number of sessions or lock-in periods. I will support you for as many sessions as you need.
How often do I need to have sessions?

The frequency of sessions will be discussed with you and can vary from once a week to once a month, depending on your individual needs.
What if my counsellor is just not quite right for me?

That is absolutely fine. If you or I feel that we may not be quite the right match for each other, that is no problem at all. I will assist with referring to another counsellor or allied health professional.
Will every session be the same?

No, your counselling sessions will vary as you progress on your journey. Each session is tailored to your current needs and goals.
