Counselling with Dorian
(face-to-face)
Self-Referred and GP/Specialist-Referred
Self-Referred
clients without a GP/specialist referral
Self-referring clients can contact Dorian directly and start counselling without the need to see their GP. The benefit of self-referral is you can start counselling with Dorian immediately and without the need for a mental health diagnosis or Mental Healthcare Plan from a GP.
Self-referred clients have additional confidentiality as their information stays with Dorian and is not shared with their GP or a third party (unless there is an emergency or a serious safety risk).
GP/Specialist-Referred
with a Mental Health Care Plan
Clients can be referred for counselling with Dorian through their GP with a Mental Health Care Plan. This allows clients to receive a Medicare Rebate for up to 20 Sessions per calendar year with Dorian (please note a gap fee is still payable each session).
A GP referral to see Dorian allows for collaboration between both your GP and Psychologist, providing comprehensive support especially if further specialist referrals are required or medication is necessary.
