Frequently asked questions

What can I expect in my first counselling session with Jasmin?

In our first session, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of our work together. It’s a chance for us to see if we’re a good fit and for you to ask any questions you might have.

How long are the counselling sessions?

Sessions are usually 50 minutes long. How often we meet depends on your needs - some people prefer weekly sessions, while others find fortnightly or monthly sessions more helpful as we progress.

Where in Brisbane are you based?

I work from Total Wellness Therapies in Paddington, Brisbane. The counselling space is calm and inviting, designed to help you feel comfortable and at ease. It’s private, quiet, and set up to give us the best possible environment for our work together. Sessions are also available online, via video-conferencing for those outside of Brisbane.

I also offer nature-based counselling sessions in Clayfield and Scarborough, QLD. Find out more about nature sessions here.

Therapy fees and rebates

Total Wellness Therapies: Individual sessions are $200 per 50-minute session. As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, I offer Medicare rebates of approx. $82 for clients with a Mental Health Care Plan from their GP. This usually applies to up to 10 sessions per year.

**For Private Health Rebates, please check with your individual Private Health Fund. Currently in Australia, only some Private Health Funds cover sessions with Accred. Mental Health Social Workers.
