Please contact me directly to discuss fees and if required, Initial consultations operate from 60 - 90 minutes, with ongoing sessions at 50 minutes at a flat rate. 

The frequency of counselling sessions with Beyond The Banyan Tree will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may attend bi-weekly or monthly.

I hold current registrations with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and in good standing with the Psychology and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). As a Registered Nurse, I am currently active and practicing according to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). 

 I like to ensure that each client is able to get a full and comprehensive consultation. Therefore, I like to ensure we establish communication beforehand to address your needs. It is important that the client/counsellor relationship fits for you, and I alike! I offer 10-15 minute free consultations prior to confirmation of services. 

Please reach out and ask. If I can't facilitate assistance for your current/longstanding issue, I will provide information on referral sources appropriately. You never have to float alone!

I am bound ethically with the governing bodies that oversee all Counsellors and Psychologists/other health practitioners in this field. Duty of care extends to the counsellor, client, greater parties. Everything in session is confidential. I cover this in the first session with discussion on privacy/confidentiality.

That is OK! I work across all modalities including face to face (with an office space in Denmark), including consultations (if appropriate) in a neutral space. Telehealth and telephone sessions are also available.
