More sessions may be added as necessary depending on your situation and current challenges. Please note the general time frame for couples therapy is anywhere from 10 - 16 sessions onwards.
Costs:
Unfortunately you cannot use a mental health care plan to claim a Medicare rebate for couples therapy.
Some private health insurance companies may cover couples therapy. You can call your insurance provider and ask them if they cover Item 300 - Family and Couples Therapy. We do not process private health insurance rebates but can provide an appropriate invoice for you to forward to your provider.
