our fees

I believe that finding the right therapist is an important first step in your journey toward well-being. To help you make that decision, I can offer a free 15-minute introductory session (please email me at leigh@ljhcounselling.com to arrange this session).  This allows us to get to know each other a bit, discuss what you're looking for, and determine if my services are the right fit for your needs. This no-obligation session gives you the chance to see if you feel comfortable and confident that I’m the right person to support you.

Standard Counselling fee

$120

My standard sessions are designed to provide you with personalised, one-on-one support to address your specific concerns and goals. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues (not couples counselling), or other challenges.

​

Many private health insurers now cover counselling services with a Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. Check with your provider if you have one to see if you can get money back for these sessions

GP Referral /Mental Health Care Plan Sessions

$150

If you’re referred through a GP as part of a Mental Health Care Plan, the fee for counselling sessions is $150 per hour, $85 of which will be rebated to you from Medicare. This slightly higher fee reflects the additional admin work involved. 

You will be responsible for the full fee after two late cancels (within 24 hours of the appt) or no shows. The Medicare rebate cannot be processed for a late cancel or no show.

Holding Plant

My goal is to make high-quality mental health support accessible while also ensuring that I can provide the best possible care tailored to your needs. If you have any questions about fees or the services we offer, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
