Contact our experienced Senior Clinical Psychologist to discuss your needs and how we can best support you. This initial conversation helps ensure we’re the right fit for your journey towards better wellbeing.

You may be eligible for the highest Medicare rebates when seeing a Clinical Psychologist, saving up to $240 per session. After the rebate is applied, your out-of-pocket cost can be as little as $20 per session when the Medicare Safety Net applies. You may also receive the highest Private health rebates when seeing a Clinical Psychologist.

While it’s common to pay $330+ per session for many Psychologists, our sessions are significantly more affordable. You’ll also receive a 60-minute consultation, rather than a shorter 45-minute session, with no cancellation fees.

We believe that quality mental health care should be accessible and affordable. That’s why our services are eligible for Medicare and Private Health Fund rebates – just like visits to your doctor or dentist. All our clinical psychologists hold Medicare Provider Numbers (MPNs) and are fully accredited under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Psychology Board of Australia (PBA).

To make therapy even more affordable, we’ve streamlined our practice to keep costs down, allowing us to charge $70 to $80 less than the APS recommended consultation fees – so you can invest in your well-being without unnecessary financial stress.

Client testimonials

I went to see Richard with chronic pain and sleep deprivation. I have nothing but praise for his gentle, kind professionalism. The hypnotherapy even reduced my addiction to sugar. Thanks Richard for being there for me.

Judith M

I have attended PCCP with Richard. My personal experience with the Counselling and Hypnotherapy has benefited me enormously. I could not more readily recommend the following Clinic and Richard more confidently to anyone. Thank you for all you have done for me personally. Extremely grateful.

Sue M

Life changing. Cannot recommend Richard highly enough.

Melinda B

Excellent highly qualified medical provider with comprehensive experience

Pieter G

The studio-recorded tracks are superb. I've bought the 3-pack (with one track then pretty much for free) ... getting 2-file types per track. These beautifully compliment the in-house (Practice) experience. Great hidden gem amongst the plethora of non Clinical Psychology trained Hypnotherapists. Richard also offers Medicare 'care-plan' rebates as well as Private-Health cost reduction - very few Clinical Hypnotherapists are this professional and reasonably priced. Awesome..

How the process works

What (The Problems People May Be Facing)

Life can present profound challenges, leaving you feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed. At times, we’re hindered by deeply ingrained beliefs and emotions, often formed during our earliest years. These experiences shape how we think, feel, and act—sometimes creating barriers that feel impossible to overcome alone. If you’re yearning for a happier, more fulfilling life but feel blocked, you’re not alone, and support is available.

How (How You Can Be Helped)

Through research-backed techniques such as NLP, Hypnosis, EMDR, and Brainspotting, deep-rooted beliefs and emotions can be released, allowing you to reclaim your sense of purpose and control over your life. With expert guidance, you can replace unhelpful thought patterns with empowering ones, learning to look within for answers rather than relying solely on external factors. This transformative process is crafted around your unique needs and personal goals, ensuring you find the happiness and peace you seek.
