The first session is focused on understanding you — your background, current challenges, and what you’d like to achieve through therapy. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, get to know your psychologist, and start to build a plan for moving forward. You can watch our YouTube video explaining the process below:

The length of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people find a few sessions helpful for a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term therapy to work through more complex or ongoing concerns. Your psychologist will discuss an initial plan with you and adjust it as needed over time.

Just yourself. If you have any relevant documents, such as a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP, previous psychological reports, or important medical information, bringing them can be helpful, but they are not essential.

If you have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP or psychiatrist, you are eligible to receive Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year — 6 initially, with an additional 4 after a GP review. You can watch our YouTube video explaining the process below:

Finding the right fit is important. If you feel that you’re not connecting with your psychologist, please let us know. We are more than happy to assist you in finding another practitioner within our team or guide you to a service that might suit you better.

At Skyline Psychology, we work closely with both children and their parents. Therapy often begins with an initial parent session to gather background information and set goals. Depending on the child’s age and needs, therapy may involve individual sessions with the child, joint sessions with parents, and regular parent updates. Our aim is to create a collaborative approach that supports the child’s wellbeing both in therapy and at home.

The first session is mostly about getting to know you and your child. We focus on understanding the current concerns, gathering background information, and setting goals for therapy. It’s also a chance for you and your child to ask questions and get comfortable with the process.

The length of therapy depends on the individual needs of the child and family. Some concerns can be addressed in a few sessions, while others may require longer-term support. Your psychologist will discuss a plan with you early in the process and review progress regularly.

You don’t need to bring much, just yourselves. However, if you have any previous reports (such as school assessments, paediatrician letters, or relevant medical information), it can be helpful to bring those along. Also if you're planning on getting a Medicare rebate for therapy you will need a referral letter from a GP, Paediatrician, or Psychiatrist.

To access a Medicare rebate, your child will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP, paediatrician, or psychiatrist. Under this plan, you can claim rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year—initially 6 sessions, followed by a review with your referring doctor for an additional 4 sessions. We have a YouTube video that explains this in more detail below:

Absolutely. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective therapy. If you feel that the connection isn’t quite right, please let us know, we will support you in finding another psychologist within our team or help guide you to another service.

Yes, feedback is welcome and encouraged. Therapy works best when it’s a collaborative process. You are always welcome to raise any questions, concerns, or suggestions with your psychologist.

This is a very common and understandable concern. At Skyline Psychology, we work hard to ensure therapy feels supportive, not stigmatising. We focus on building your child’s strengths, resilience, and self-confidence. Therapy is framed as a positive step toward growth, not a sign that something is “wrong.”
