Location
Please note I am currently moving to new consulting rooms and will provide an update shortly. I am able to provide virtual consultations in the interim.
Fees
Fees cover your session time, brief additional phone consultations, contact with other healthcare professionals, and general correspondence.
Fees for an initial assessment session (90 minutes) are $280
Thereafter, fees for standard 50-minute treatment sessions are $195
Comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments (including adult ADHD or Autism Spectrum assessments) typically cost around $1600-$1800. This reflects the additional assessment time, cost of materials, and report-writing costs involved. Please discuss this at the outset of your assessment.
Please note, missed sessions or those cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may incur a cancellation fee.
Financial Assistance
Some clients may be eligible for partial subsidies or rebates for attending psychology appointments, for example those with private health insurance or with a Community Services Card. Please check with your insurance provider or on the WINZ website (https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/products/a-z-benefits/disability-allowance.html). I am able to provide full receipts to enable you to claim.
