The best psychiatric care cannot be rushed.
Every consultation is intentionally unhurried, allowing time to understand not only your symptoms, but the life, relationships and circumstances that shape them.
This is an independent private practice providing highly personalised psychiatric care via telehealth throughout Australia.
Eligible patients with a valid referral may receive a Medicare rebate.
Why appointments are longer
Most psychiatric consultations are around 60 minutes.
Your first appointment with me is 90 minutes because understanding your experiences, medical history, relationships and goals takes time.
Rather than trying to reach conclusions quickly, I believe careful assessment leads to more accurate diagnoses, more meaningful treatment plans and better long-term outcomes.
