Individual Therapy

Social Mind Health offers confidential and individualised therapy to individuals who are 16+.

 

No referral required.  

Simply phone 0400 983 139  or email [email protected] to make an appointment.

 

Better Access Program (Medicare)

Under the Better Access Program you can receive rebates for therapy sessions if you have a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.

 

Please note it is important that you tell the medical practice that you are booking an appointment for this reason, so they can book an extended appointment time to enable your GP to have enough time to complete the plan. 

 

Couples therapy

The Gottman Method draws on the knowledge of 40 years of research and clinical practice to help couples break through barriers, and improve the level of connection, intimacy and understanding within their relationships.
