About Danielle
I am a clinical psychologist (B.Psych (Hons), M.Psych (Clin), MACPA) with extensive experience providing evidence-based therapy to adults. I work with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and adjustment difficulties.
​
I understand that people come to therapy for many different reasons, and often at challenging points in their lives. My aim is to offer a space that feels supportive, respectful, and tailored to you. I take the time to understand what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to be different.
​
My approach is integrative and grounded in evidence-based treatments. I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), depending on your needs.
​
I work collaboratively with you to build insight, develop practical strategies, and support meaningful, lasting change, while ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease in the process.
​
I offer in-person sessions in Bondi Junction as well as telehealth appointments.

​

​
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
You do not need a referral to book an appointment. However, if you would like to access Medicare rebates, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan and referral from your GP.
​
How do I make an appointment?
You can contact me by email or phone. Email is often the best way to reach me, as I am in session for much of the day. We can briefly discuss your needs and arrange a suitable time for a first appointment. Prior to your first session, I will send you further information by email.
​
What are your fees?
$270 per 50 minute session.
​
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, will incur the full session fee.
​
Can I claim through Medicare?
If you have a Mental Health Care Plan and referral from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $145.25 per session, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
​
Can I claim through my private health insurance?
Depending on your insurer and level of cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health insurance.
​
What does a session look like?
Sessions are 50 minutes in duration. The first session focuses on understanding your current concerns, background, and goals for therapy. Ongoing sessions are tailored to your individual needs and may involve a combination of discussion, skill development, and reflection. Sessions are typically held weekly or fortnightly, and sometimes less frequently for maintenance.
​
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes. What you discuss in therapy is kept confidential. There are some legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, such as if there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or if information is required by law. These limits will be explained to you in more detail at your first appointment. If you are accessing sessions under a Mental Health Care Plan, brief written updates are provided to your GP as part of Medicare requirements.
​
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some people attend for a relatively short period, while others engage in longer-term work.
​
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. I offer sessions in Bondi Junction as well as via telehealth.
​
Do you offer couples or family therapy?
I offer individual therapy for adults. This can include working on your role within relationship dynamics and interpersonal patterns.
