Why home visits? →Psychological difficulties do not occur in isolation. They affect everyday routines, relationships, work, parenting and family life.
Workshop Psychology provides appointments in your home, offering an alternative to travelling to a clinic. This can make it easier for the right people to participate, reduce the practical burden of attending appointments, and allow support to remain connected to the setting in which everyday life takes place.
Sessions are thoughtful, collaborative and practical. Together, we work to understand what is happening, identify patterns that may be maintaining the difficulty, and develop realistic ways forward.
Psychological support for adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, adjustment challenges or difficult periods of change.
Therapy can help you understand the factors contributing to the problem, develop more effective ways of responding, and make changes that are consistent with what matters to you.
Learn about individual therapySupport for couples experiencing recurring conflict, communication difficulties, emotional distance, loss of trust or uncertainty about the future of their relationship.
The work focuses on understanding the patterns between you, hearing each person’s perspective and developing more constructive ways of responding to one another.
Learn about relationship counsellingSupport for families dealing with conflict, communication difficulties, changing relationships or stressful transitions.
Family therapy looks at the patterns between family members rather than treating one person as the sole problem. Different combinations of family members may participate depending on the situation and goals.
Learn about family therapyCollaborative support for teenagers and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, school difficulties, family conflict or the challenges of adolescence.
Appointments are designed to give the young person a genuine voice while involving parents or other family members where this is helpful and appropriate.
Learn about teen psychologyPractical psychological guidance for parents dealing with behaviour, emotional difficulties, family conflict, developmental changes or uncertainty about what to do next.
Parenting support is tailored to the child, the parent and the wider family context. It is not about applying a standard set of techniques or blaming parents when things are difficult.
Learn about parenting supportAn appropriate private space is needed for the appointment. We can discuss who should attend and how to prepare for the session before the first visit.
Provide your suburb, the type of support you are seeking and a brief description of the situation.
I will respond to clarify the service required, who may need to participate and whether your location falls within the home-visiting area.
The first session is used to understand the situation, discuss what you would like to change and agree on a useful starting point.
Availability may vary depending on your location and appointment time. Include your suburb or postcode when enquiring so I can confirm that I travel to your area.
This is a flat session fee covering the appointment and home visit.
Medicare rebates may be available for some eligible individual psychology services. To claim a Medicare rebate, you will need an appropriate referral from a GP or another eligible medical practitioner.
Relationship counselling, family therapy and parenting support are generally provided as private-fee services. Eligibility for a rebate can be clarified before your first appointment.
I am a registered psychologist with more than 14 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, parents and young people.
My approach is active, thoughtful and evidence-based. Rather than applying a standard formula, I work with clients to develop a clear understanding of the problem and identify practical changes that fit their circumstances.
The name Workshop Psychology reflects this way of working. Therapy is approached as a collaborative process: examining what is happening, testing new ways of responding and refining the approach according to what proves useful.
You do not need a referral to make an appointment or access psychology services privately. A referral is required if you are eligible and intend to claim a Medicare rebate for an applicable service.
Not necessarily. The people who attend will depend on the situation and the goals of the work. This can be discussed before the first appointment and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Relationship counselling will usually involve both partners, but you are welcome to make the initial enquiry individually.
This depends on the young person’s age, needs and circumstances. Parents may participate in part or all of some appointments, while the teenager may also have time to speak privately. Confidentiality and its limits will be discussed clearly.
You will need a reasonably private and comfortable space where the people involved can speak without unnecessary interruption.
Workshop Psychology is primarily a home-visiting service. Telehealth may be available in some circumstances by request.
I will respond to confirm whether the service is suitable and discuss the next steps.
