"My initial session with Shani was exactly what I needed, and I didn’t know what that was. Her calming, peaceful energy allowed me to relax into myself and she helped me get clear on what I needed. It was tailored to me, not only did I walk away with a plan but she reminded me that I was exactly where I needed to be ."

FAQs
Do you work with NDIS funding?
Yes, if you are plan, or self-managed SJP Wellbeing can provide therapeutic support, depending on the plan goals. If counselling, or ‘other’ therapy is included (usually in relationships, or capacity building) we can help.
Can parent/carers use a child’s NDIS funding?
Yes, if the plan includes therapeutic support and is plan or self-managed parents/carers can utilise NDIS funding.
Can I use my mental health care plan (medicare) from the GP?
Unfortunately not, MHCP utilises Medicare as a rebate, and currently counselling, psychotherapy, and coaching do not qualify for Medicare because they do not fit inside the medical model of care. This does have benefits as there are limitations to psycho-therapeutic supports allowed within Medicare. Because of this we have created a reduced fee pathway for those requiring MHCP rebates, and our fees are likely to be below the standard gap payment for a psychologist.
It is important to note that in cases where a GP has referred to a psychologist, there may be a reason for this, such as a clinical diagnosis required. Please get in touch to discuss the guidelines for utilising the Reduced Fee Pathway. See RFP Information - PDF
Do I need a Dr’s referral?
No, you do not need a referral from a Dr to engage a counsellor, coach, or psychotherapist. However, many clients are referred, and it is welcome.
Do you work with children?
Sometimes. Typically we work with young people (10-25) and adults, however, there are instances whereby children younger than that can benefit from our integrative style of counselling. In many cases, there is more than one person in the family who will benefit from being in therapy. Often our work will be with a parent and we will collaborate with a partner agency that can cater better to a young child’s needs. Such as play, or expressive therapies, we are committed to providing a wrap-around service and providing families with appropriate experts in their diverse needs.
