1️⃣ Do I need to know exactly what I want to talk about? No. Many people come to their first session feeling unsure, scattered, or not quite able to put things into words yet. We’ll take the time to gently unpack what’s been going on and work out where support will be most helpful. 2️⃣ What if I’m not in crisis — is therapy still appropriate? Absolutely. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from support. Many people come because they’re tired of “coping”, feeling flat, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit. 3️⃣ How long are sessions and how often do people usually come? Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Frequency is something we decide together — some people start weekly, others fortnightly or as needed. There’s no fixed formula. 4️⃣ Is there any obligation to continue after the first session? No. There’s no pressure or expectation to commit beyond your first appointment. You’re free to decide whether this feels like the right fit for you. 5️⃣ What is Telehealth like? Is it effective? Telehealth sessions are conducted securely online and are well supported by research. Many people find it more accessible and comfortable, particularly when juggling work, family, or energy levels. 6️⃣ Can I use Medicare or WorkCover? Yes. Medicare rebates may be available with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. WorkCover support depends on your claim status. Details are outlined below, and you’re welcome to ask if you’re unsure. 7️⃣ What if I feel nervous or emotional in the session? That’s very normal. Sessions move at your pace, and you’re always in control of what you share. This is a space designed to feel steady, respectful, and human.
