First, we find out about your main concerns.
Many people call us asking us how to choose the best Psychologist or Counsellor. When you call we will ask you about the issues that are bringing you to counselling.
We can tell you about the different Psychologists and Counsellors available and the type of approach they each use in their work. We can also tell you about the therapists’ particular areas of expertise. For example, you may be looking for someone with strong experience in trauma, or depression or anxiety or another specific issue.
No, psychologists cannot prescribe medication. If you feel you require pharmaceutical support in addition to talk therapy you will need to consult with your GP or a psychiatrist.
Your first appointment will be like an introductory session. It’s an important opportunity for you to explain what has been going on for you. It’s also a chance for you to check out whether you connect with the Psychologist at this first meeting. The psychologist will ask you questions to make sure she has a clear understanding of what is bringing you to counselling and what you are wanting to achieve from your sessions. This will help them determine the best approach for your treatment.
Yes, providing you have a current Mental Health Care Plan in place from your GP you can claim a rebate through Medicare. It is important to note that there will still be an out of pocket payment as we do not offer bulk billing within our network. If you need a free service you can contact Lifeline for more information, or contact your local community mental health care team through your local hospital. You can also ask your Doctor for a bulk billing Psychology practice.
A Psychiatrist is a Medical Doctor with further specialist training who can prescribe medication. A Psychologist can not prescribe medication, but can help you with therapy. If you require or want to consider medication, your Sydney Psychologist or Counsellor will work with your Psychiatrist or GP to provide joint care.
A mental health professional who holds expertise in the human mind and our behaviours. Psychologists are trained to understand all aspects of psychological functioning and the theoretical approaches that inform psychological research.
In Australia, psychologists must hold board-approved education and be registered with a professional body to practice.
Start by deciding if you want online or in-person counselling. If the latter, you can search by city or region. If the former, you have a much wider pool of choices.
To narrow the field and find the right psychologist for you:
Use the services of a professional network. Associated Counsellors & Psychologists provides a unique matching service that pairs clients with a suitable mental health professional, for instance.
Ask for recommendations from friends.
Ensure the psychologists you’re considering are registered with a professional body.
Be clear about what you’d like to achieve so the psychologists can assess whether they’re the right person to help.
