|  | Some common questions... How Many Sessions Are Needed? For some it can be as few as one or two, for others it may be regularly for a year. Most clients see improvements relatively quickly and can resolve their main issues within 6 to 8 sessions over a few months. Deeply entrenched issues and psychoanalytic personal growth work tend to take longer. How Much Does It Cost? Standard Fees vary from $80 to $170 depending on whether it is a private or clinical setting and on whether you see a counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist. Most offer discounts for those experiencing financial constraints. Health Services Counselling fees are laid out below Health Services Counselling Fees* - Individual Session $110 incl 10% GST Couples/Families $132 incl 10% GST Lifeline (Welfare Clients) $0-20, no gst *Sessions starting later than 5.30pm or weekends are $130 individual or $150 couples including GST **Session rates go up roughly 5% from March 2009, enquire directly for career coaching & corporate rates & exact rates increases Is It Medicare/Private Cover Rebatable? There is no Medicare rebate and unfortunately only a very few of the private health insurers offer rebates.

We were both angry and frustrated. Counselling was something we were hesitant and nervous about doing. Tessa really helped us see things from the other persons perspective without assigning blame. Counselling has helped us identify how to resolve conflict without yelling or getting frustrated. We have a lot happier and peaceful relationship now. I would recommend it to anyone who is having ongoing problems in their relationship" K & D, couple "Like most people, we went in search of a counsellor when our marriage had hit rock bottom. A year on from our lowest point, we can happily say that our marriage is stronger and healthier than it has ever been. Although Tessa lay the stepping stones for us to find our own truth, our own answers. Apart from rebuilding our marriage, the greatest gift of this whole experience has been coming to realise how important it is to have a safe, quiet place where you can go and share your thoughts without judgement, express feelings without fear and just reflect on a busy week or month. Allowing yourself that one little hour will go a long way in healing your soul." A & K May 2008 "I have been meeting with Tessa fortnightly for 5 months. In that time she has provided exceptional care, professionalism and counselling which has improved my quality of life significantly. Her approach and guidance in each session is re-assuring and positive but challenges my beliefs and values for ultimate self reflection and awareness. "Making Contact is the first courageous step."
