Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a psychotherapy session?
An initial session will go for around 75 minutes with the opportunity for you to ask questions and we can start to address your needs and concerns. Further sessions go for 60 minutes. 90-minute sessions are available on request if you prefer a longer session.
What is IST and how long is a session?
Inner Space Techniques, or IST is a set of therapeutic and healing techniques based on the inner space of meditation. An IST session is 90 minutes.
What is walk therapy and what can I expect from a session?
Walk therapy is a confidential ‘walk n talk’ in an outdoor nature setting, adjusted to your pace, style and comfort; sometimes with sitting; and goes for 60 or 90 minutes. These walks can be changed to online where and when needed.
How many sessions will be needed?
The number of sessions will depend on your concerns and goals; however I recommend 4-6 sessions at a minimum. You may choose to have sessions weekly, fortnightly or monthly. From my experience, regular sessions for a period of time are more beneficial to enable us to work more deeply and for you to gain longer lasting benefits. However, it is entirely up to the individual how many sessions they have.
Where are the sessions held?
All sessions are confidential and are conducted online (Zoom) or in person in a supportive space located in the Adelaide CBD. There is also an option for in person sessions to be held south of the city, at Parawa (near Yankalilla) depending on availability.
Walks take place on the Fleurieu Peninsula, and in the Adelaide foothills.
What is the cost?
The fee for an initial psychotherapy session is $120, subsequent 60-minute sessions are $100.
IST sessions are $140.
Rates for walks are available on request depending on location and length.
Please note, psychotherapy services are not currently covered by Medicare rebates. If you are low income, a student or affordability is an issue for other reasons, please get in touch to discuss, reduced fees are available.
