What Psychology appointments do we provide and how much do they cost?
Introduction to Online Psychology
A 20-minute introductory to online psychology allows clients who are unsure of how a session would take place online or to see if our Psychologist may be the right fit for future psychology appointments. It allows clients to ‘test’ out the service before committing to an initial consultation. *It should be noted that this session will not involve formal assessment or diagnosis of mental health issues or involve any intervention strategies.
Low Cost Counselling Services
Psychology – Standard Appointment
Psychology – Couples or Family Appointment
$240.00 Couples or family appointments are for 2-5 clients to attend.

*Please note: The Australian Psychological Society 2021-2022 recommended schedule of fees has set the standard 46 to 60 minute consultation fee at $267. This is a recommendation only. The Mindful Hub strives to provide fair pricing among our services for both client and practitioner.
Psychology Consultations
The Mindful Hub Psychologists provide psychological services for children, adolescents, families, couples and adults in a mindful and welcome environment.
Our psychologists work collaboratively with you to develop treatment goals and intentions and from there, the most appropriate interventions will be selected to help you accomplish your goals, and regain balance and control in your life.
Here at The Mindful Hub we provide a variety of evidence-based psychological approaches including (but not limited to):
* Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
* Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
* Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
* Brief Solution-Focused Interventions
Where and when can you have sessions?
Conveniently, being an online service, individuals are able to choose their own safe (uninterrupted) place for therapy sessions which aims to allow for a more comfortable mindset before the session even begins.
The Mindful Hub allows for flexible appointment times during the day, evening and over the weekend, so be sure to check what appointment times are on offer from our various practitioners.

Private Health Insurance
You may be able to claim some rebate for psychology sessions from your private health insurer. You will have to check your extras cover. We cannot process the claim with your private health insurer. Most health insurers do not allow you to claim both Medicare and health insurance for the same invoice.
Low Cost Counselling
Low Cost counselling (LCC) is simply psychological counselling at a reduced rate as the psychologist who is providing the service is provisionally registered. The Mindful Hub works in collaboration with the Federation University Master of Psychology (Clinical) team and their students in their final placement of training.
So, what is a Provisional Psychologist?
A provisionally registered psychologist is a student who is undertaking an approved internship from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). A Provisional Psychologist is in their final years of training and working towards gaining their full General Registration as a Psychologist. They are highly skilled and work under the guidance of a Board Approved Supervisor until their full general registration is received.
Who is this for?
LCC aims to allow all individuals to have access to counselling or seeing a Provisional Psychologist at a reduced rate and caters for individuals’ circumstances such as financial hardship.
(Please note there are no rebates available for low cost counselling services).
Is the student qualified?
Yes, the provisional psychologist is qualified (Bachelors Degree in Psychology, Honours or Grad Diploma in Psychology and/or a Masters Degree or 2 years experienced learning) and registered with AHPRA.
What experience/qualifications do they have?
A Provisional Psychologist has a bachelor’s degree within the field of Psychology, then a Honours or Graduate Diploma of Psychology and then either a Masters degree in Professional Psychology or is completing two years supervised practice with a fully registered Psychologist as their mentor (known as the +2 pathway).
In regard to experience, a Provisional Psychologist undertakes placements in both the Master’s programs and within their supervised practice if completing the +2 pathway. Within these placements Provisional Psychologists work with individuals across the lifespan, children, adolescents, adults and older adults as well as with a range of different presentations.
