The first step is to submit a form on the website by clicking on New clients above. I'll be in touch to have a brief conversation about what you're looking for and whether Kapwa Psychology feels like the right fit. If it does, I'll send through a link to book your initial consultation.

Not always. A GP referral and Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) is required if you want to access Medicare rebates. If you're attending privately, no referral is needed. For eating concerns, a GP referral and ongoing medical monitoring is required regardless of how you're attending.

You don't need to be in crisis, and you don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. Most people come to therapy feeling uncertain about whether things are bad enough, whether it will help, or whether they're ready to open things up. That uncertainty is normal, and it doesn't mean you're not ready.

If you've been wondering whether therapy might help, that's enough of a reason to reach out.

It might be. When therapy doesn't help, it's often less about you and more about fit, including the approach, the relationship, the timing, or maybe all three. EMDR and the ways of working at Kapwa are different from standard talk therapy, and for some people that difference matters.

The first session is mostly a conversation. I'll ask about what's brought you to therapy and what you're hoping for, and there'll be space for your questions too. You won't be pushed to go anywhere you're not ready to go.

There's no pressure to commit to anything from that first appointment. It's as much about you getting a sense of whether this feels right as it is about anything else.

Yes. There's no minimum commitment, and you're not locked into anything after your initial consultation. Some people come for a focused block of sessions and find that's enough. Others want to continue longer. We'll check in as we go.
