Making a booking
You can contact me at [email protected] or 0430 622 909.
Please mention that you are seeking men's counselling in particular.
I see clients by Zoom or phone. I do not see clients in person.
Sessions are 50 minutes long.
The fee is $150 per session.
I work Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 11AM - 9PM (Victorian time--please be mindful of time zones when booking). I do not work Fridays or weekends.
If you contact me by email or text to book a session, please mention which days and windows of time work for you.
Further details
New clients fill out an online intake form which is emailed to them. That will include details for payment, which is by bank deposit. Payment can be made any time prior to the session, or just after the session.
Zoom clients receive a link early on the morning of the session.
There are no Medicare or private insurance rebates available for philosophical counselling. I do not see clients within the USA or Canada due to insurance limitations.
Nature of the service
Clearly, philosophical counselling is not a clinical mental health service. Here are three different kinds of service:
I worked closely with psychologists for years, and my understanding of their concepts is sophisticated compared to most people, but if you need clinical mental health services such as assessments, diagnoses, associated treatments, risk management, reports, and so on then you should seek them from a psychologist or psychiatrist; I cannot and do not offer them.
I work with any problem a client brings, and that may include clinical problems, but I treat all problems simply as "challenges in living". The focus of our work is growth in wisdom and virtue. That is an effort of intellect and will, which can resolve some problems in your life, while in other cases it can only help you to live better with them.
