“In therapy, I see myself in the mirror differently.” - Ricky Williams
Welcome! I’m Kate, a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor of Psychologists. I value work that focusses on meaningful changes and fostering confidence in clients and supervisees.
Services and Approaches
At heart, my approach is human-centred and compassion-focused, infused with warmth, humour, and honesty. I am trained a range of evidence-based therapies, such as Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Behavioural Parenting, Exposure-Based Treatments (e.g. Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, Exposure Therapy for Specific Phobias) and I tailor my approach to each unique adult or teen.
Individual Therapy
In your first appointment, we’ll explore your background and the challenges you’d like to address. Together, we’ll create a plan using evidence-based, supportive approaches. I have experience with a wide range of therapeutic modalities to address anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, OCD and self-exploration.
ASD and ADHD Assessment
My ASD and ADHD Assessments are currently available online, making them accessible to adults Australia-wide. I offer a free phone chat to walk you through the process and answer any questions. We’ll have a brief intake call before we proceed.
Queensland Police Service
I have worked with first responders, both in group therapies and individual therapy. At present, I provide therapy for Queensland Police Service (QPS) staff, under the QPS 'Self-Refer Program', which provides personnel with anonymous, confidential, and fully-funded psychological support. Simply mention if you are coming under the QPS Self-Refer Program when you book.
NDIS Capacity Building
Capacity building sessions are appointments that focus on helping you develop skills and confidence so that you can manage challenges more independently in your everyday life. Let our reception team know that you are wanting NDIS capacity building support at the time of booking.
Veterans
I enjoy working with veterans and understand the structural and cultural influences involved in defence. Veterans sessions are often funded under the Department of Veteran's Affairs White and Gold Cards. It shows strength to seek mental health treatment and veterans are often affected by multiple issues, such as chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD and/or depression.
Board-Approved Supervision
My supervision space is supportive, experiential and reflective. Our work in supervision is to help you enhance your formulation skills, strengthen your therapeutic effectiveness, and grow your confidence in your professional identity. I am experienced supervising clinicians in private practice and university settings.
Fees for Psychological Services
Fees and Rebates
Funders. I accept referrals for clients paying for sessions under:
-
Mental Health Care Plans
-
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
-
NDIS (Capacity Building Support)
-
QLD Police Service (QPS) Self-Refer Program
-
Workcover
-
Private Health Insurance
Session fees. There is typically no out of pocket fee for clients funded by DVA, Workcover, QPS or NDIS. For other clients, fees vary depending on the type, length, and location of the appointment, as well as the day of the week. Please email me for further information. However, typically an out of pocket fee of around $70 ($90 for the initial session) applies for Medicare clients. Fee reductions can be considered under conditions of financial hardship. NDIS clients' sessions focus on capacity building and are billed in line with the NDIS's set schedule of fees for this type of support.
Referrals and Rebates. Clients can ask their doctor for a referral under DVA or a Mental Health Care Plan. Sessions under DVA are covered in full and each referral can be made for up to 12 sessions. Under a Mental Health Care Plan referral, eligible individuals can receive a Medicare rebate of approximately $144 per session, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year (out of pocket costs can apply). Clients who pay privately may be able to take their paid invoices to claim a rebate their private health insurer, if applicable.
Session Length. Face-to-face, telephone and telehealth sessions typically last for 50 minutes under DVA and Medicare, whereas under the NDIS they typically last around 60 minutes. Occasionally sessions will extend up to 90mins where indicated, for example, during exposure therapy and chairwork (a Schema Therapy technique) sessions.
Fees for ADHD and ASD Assessments. Each person's assessment may vary, depending on the nature of their presentation and referral, but usually the cost is between $1500-1700, inclusive of a report.
*Please note, I do not do court reports or medico-legal reports.
