Mental Health Care Plans and Medicare

At Tranquil Minds we do not  accept Mental Health Care  Plans.  What this means is, you do not require a referral from your GP. to access our service.    However,  we do offer sessions fees that are comparable to the average Gap fees payable under a Mental Health Care Plan.   This also means that we are not limited to the number of sessions we can offer you and the session fees remains the same regardless of how many sessions may be needed and our waiting times for appointments remain low. By not operating under the Medicare umbrella we are also not bound to the prescribed treatment modalities preferred by Medicare and can offer truly personalised  treatment plans for you that could included such modalities  such ..   Narrative Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Emotion Freeing Techniques..... to name a few.

In order to enable you to get the help you are looking for I have attempted to keep my fees affordable.  They are priced to be competitive and are discounted quite substantially from the recommended fee structure for comparable services. Cost does matter especially when it is more than a one-off payment and it goes beyond one or two sessions to achieve a successful outcome. However, cost alone should not be the sole motivation for choosing a therapist, therefore, to increase the likelihood of being satisfied with outcomes, it is important to consider, training, expertise and endorsement when choosing your therapist.

Our preference is to conduct sessions face to face with payment due on the day, however we do offer phone or video (Zoom) sessions, and these require payment,  prior to the session commencing. (an invoice will be emailed 24 hrs. prior)

CANCELLATIONS

  Life does get busy, and we understand that there are times when it may be necessary to cancel your appointment, however, we require a full 24 hours' notice of your inability to attend, wherever possible. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice typically cannot be filled with such short notice and therefore will attract a charge of 50% of the session fee.  Failure to provide any notice (no shows) will result in you being Invoiced the full session fee to help recover costs associated with being unable to utilize the session time.
