WORK WITH C PSYCHOLOGY
The following services are available:
Walk and Talk Therapy
Ever feel like you think better when you’re moving? Walk-and-talk therapy offers the chance to debrief and reflect, while we take a gentle walk in the fresh air. It’s a more relaxed way to access support for those looking to manage stress, mood, or everyday challenges without the formality of traditional therapy.
For anyone who likes to stack their self-care: movement, nature, connection, and support in a single session.
Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT)
Sometimes the body holds onto things the mind has tried to move past. EFT (sometimes called ‘tapping’) is more than just talking. EFT is a body-based stress-management intervention.
Charly is currently undertaking formal accreditation in Evidence-Based EFT. Clients seeking a focused, goal-directed intervention, are offered a package of six 60-minute EFT sessions at a reduced rate.
Often chosen by clients who want to feel a shift in their body, not just understand it in their head. Or clients looking to target something specific.
Psychology Sessions (Home Visits)
A 60-minute session delivered in the comfort and convenience of your home. Charly recognises that online therapy is not for everyone and that mobility, transport, and personal circumstances often create barriers to accessing quality in-clinic care.
Home visits provide a convenient, meaningful way to engage in therapy without the associated stress. Home visits are offered where clinically appropriate and within the service area. Surcharges may apply for driving that exceeds 15 minutes.
For those who find getting to a clinic is the barrier, not the therapy itself.
Psychology Sessions (Telehealth)
A 60-minute online session delivered through Zoom. Each session is personalised to your experience, drawing on approaches that are grounded in research and proven to help.
Telehealth offers flexibility, so you can stay connected to support wherever you are, even from the comfort of your own home.
Most popular service for anyone juggling a full schedule or a busy mind, wanting access to support as soon as possible.
FEES AND REBATES
C Psychology's commitment has always been to ensure that high-quality psychotherapy remains accessible. Consistent with this value, our fees are set well below the Australian Psychological Society’s recommended rate of $330 per session and are also lower than many comparable services in our local area.

For home visits additional surcharge may apply for travel over 15 minutes.
Medicare
To claim the Medicare rebate, you will need a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) referral from your GP or psychiatrist. A maximum of 10 sessions per calendar year are eligible for rebate under the Medicare MHCP, which if applicable, may also be utilized alongside other funding streams of psychological services (e.g., private health and NDIS).
Medicare rebates increase once you reach the Medicare Safety Net threshold. When your total out-of-pocket (gap) expenses for Medicare-subsidised services exceed the annual threshold (approximately $2,600 for individuals and around $850 for pension or concession card holders), Medicare provides substantially higher rebates for eligible services for the remainder of that calendar year. $98.97 is the minimum rebate for 60- minute psychology services.
With your bank details registered with Medicare, rebates from Medicare will be processed directly into your nominated account after your session.
National Disability Scheme (NDIS)
We support self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants, with fees in line with the NDIS Price Guide. A service agreement will be developed outlining the agreed number of sessions and whether any reports or additional supports are planned.
$232.99 per session
WorkCover Queensland
Psychological services are available for clients with an approved WorkCover Queensland claim. Treatment is delivered in accordance with the approved treatment plan and
relevant WorkCover fee schedules.
Private Health
Sessions may also be self-funded and/or supported by private health insurance. Some private insurance policies include benefits for psychological services; however, levels of cover and rebate amounts differ between insurers and plans. We recommend contacting your health fund directly to confirm your entitlements.
