Shannon is registered with medicare to provide services under the Better Access program. This program enables 10 sessions to be rebated per calendar year.

To access this program, chat to your GP about obtaining a Mental Health Care Plan prior to your first session.

To be eligible, the GP must offer a diagnosis such as anxiety or depression.

When arranging your appointment, you may wish to advise the receptionist as you will require a longer appointment. 

On booking your appointment, advise us that you would like to access a rebates through your health insurer, and a receipt will be provided for you to attach to your claim.

Check your insurance policy to see the total rebate available and the number of sessions you can claim for. 

During the first session an assessment is conducted. Just like taking your car to the mechanic, Shannon will assess what's happening with you in order to determine how she can help and what approach to take. It is hoped that by the end of that session you feel hopeful and optimistic, and can see a path forward.

Following this, treatment sessions commence and of course, results vary depending on the individual, their psychological makeup, the length of time the issue has been present, and their willingness to adopt their newfound insight into themselves. Additionally, their capacity motivation to use the skills and strategies introduced throughout the therapeutic journey will impact on the speed at which they move towards embodying the thriving version of themselves that they desire to be.

Sessions are currently delivered via Zoom, however, in-person sessions are expected to be available in the near future.
