Hi! My name’s Nicole. Thanks for taking the courageous step in looking for some psychological support.

I’m a Registered Psychologist with over 10 years experience working with individuals across the lifespan. I strongly believe that life can be challenging for all of us at times and that we all deserve and benefit from seeking support.

It is such a privilege when clients open up and let me into their inner world. I place a great emphasis on creating a safe space where clients feel safe talking about their challenges .

By combining your lived experience and strengths, and my training, I believe we can collaborate as a team to help you make changes in your life and improve your wellbeing. To do this, I take an eclectic approach to supporting my clients, tailoring strategies from a range of evidence-based approaches.

I consult at North Adelaide on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Special Areas of Interest

My main areas of interest include supporting individuals manage and maintain their wellbeing when they are experiencing challenging life events. I have worked in a variety of environments supporting individuals of various ages experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss as well as in the immediate aftermath of trauma and supporting those experiencing PTSD. I have also provided support to care givers and individuals across the lifespan adjusting to disabilities or life-changing diagnoses in themselves or family unit.

By teaching you strategies to more effectively manage painful emotions, thoughts and memories and helping you clarify what is important to you in your life, I can assist you to build a life that enhances your wellbeing, meaning and purpose.

Fee Schedule

50-minute sessions, face to face or via telehealth, are $250 (business hours), which reduces to $157.10 after your Medicare rebate if you are under a Mental Health Care Plan referred by your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. For after hours services the session costs $290, which reduces to $197.10 after your mental health care fund rebate.

These are the standard length for subsequent individual sessions unless otherwise negotiated.

Health funds and payments

You can pay online via card for telehealth bookings in advance or on the day prior to your appointment or for face to face sessions use Eftpos in our practice before or after your appointment.
Our team will process your Medicare and private health rebates immediately after your appointment.

For telehealth appointments the claim may be made for Medicare by our team through our software. For private health we will send you a receipt in the case of telehealth services. Please note that although we may process payments in advance we are not permitted to process the rebates until after the appointment has finished by law.

If you have private cover you do not need a referral and will pay a variable gap depending on your level of cover and your health fund. Please check with your health fund before booking to understand whether you are entitled to a rebate for psychology services. If you are in the rooms we will process the gap but if doing telehealth we will send you a receipt for claiming after full payment has been made.

Referral Information

To access our services as part of Mental Health Care Plan (allowed up to 10 visits per calendar year (initial referral for 6 sessions), please email our reception team with your valid Plan and a referral letter from your GP.

We accept clients with a self-managed or plan-managed NDIS referral but do not take NDIS agency referrals. There will be a gap payment beyond the NDIS fee that is payable on the day of your appointment. Please call us before booking to make sure your plan fits our criteria for referrals within our practice.
