At Stellar Psychology, we provide a range of psychological services, including individual ongoing therapy, one-off support, and EMDR therapy for adults and older adolescents (16+).

No, you do not need a referral to see a psychologist. However, if you wish to claim Medicare rebates, you will need a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Private health insurance may also cover sessions, depending on your policy.

Your first session is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll explore your background, challenges, and strengths in a supportive, non-judgmental space. It’s completely normal to feel a little apprehensive or worried for your first appointment, and we’ll take it at your pace. This session will also give us a chance to see if we’re the right fit for each other and make sure we're moving in a direction that works for you.

Therapy is sometimes a long-term process that requires active engagement and effort outside of sessions. While I will be here to guide you every step of the way, therapy is a collaborative relationship, which means motivation and commitment from both sides are key to making progress. We’ll work together toward your goals at a pace that works for you.

Sessions typically run for 50 minutes. The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others may attend fortnightly or monthly. This can be discussed in your first appointment.

Our fees vary depending on the service provided. The initial appointment and one-off sessions are charged at $250. Ongoing sessions are $225, and EMDR sessions are $337. Medicare offers a rebate of $96.65 per session for up to 10 sessions per calendar year with a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Private health insurance may also cover part of the cost.

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone seeking support, whether you're facing specific challenges or looking for personal growth. If you’re unsure, I encourage you to visit my How I Can Help section on the website to see if I might be a good fit for your needs. You can always reach out for a brief consultation to discuss your goals and see if we’re aligned.

You can book an appointment by sending an email to info@stellar-psychology.com.au or by filling out a form on my Contact page. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible to schedule a time that works for you. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey.
