There are a number of options available to access a Psychologist at Mothers Nature Psychology.
We offer our consultations via either a Home-Visit or via Telehealth - as a way of making psychological services more accessible during such a critical and transitional time as the perinatal phase.
Medicare rebates are available for all services if your GP or Psychiatrist has provided you with a Medicare Better Access to Mental Health Care Plan. If not, you will still be able to access one of our psychologists as a full fee paying client, or you may be able to claim for psychological therapy through your private health insurance if it is included in your cover.
Service appropriateness and eligibility can be determined during a free 15 minute enquiry call.
