How do private psychology appointments work?
You don’t always need a referral from a GP or other medical professional to see a psychologist at Amara Wellness & Psychology. Private psychology appointments are available at our North Perth practice, giving you the flexibility to access support when you need it, without needing a Mental Health Treatment Plan or other referral.
Accessing psychological support privately is simple. You can contact our team directly to arrange an appointment with one of our psychologists.
- Get in touch with our friendly team or book an appointment online.
- Meet with your psychologist and begin a therapeutic approach tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, stress, relationships, life changes, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, or other concerns, our psychologists are here to support you.
What are other ways to access psychology support?
Private appointments are just one way to access psychological support. Depending on your circumstances, you may also be able to access support through other referral or funding pathways, including:
Access eligible Medicare rebates for psychology appointments following an appointment with your GP.
If your policy includes psychology or counselling under Extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate for eligible appointments.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
Access confidential psychological support through an Employee Assistance Program provided by your workplace.
If you have experienced a workplace injury, you may be eligible to access psychology support through your WorkCover claim.
And more!
There may be other referral and funding pathways available depending on your circumstances. Explore our referral options to find the pathway that may be right for you.
Private psychology appointments can also be used alongside these pathways, including when available funding or Medicare-rebated sessions have been exhausted and you would like to continue your psychological support.
