Referrals & Fees

Referrals

Mikayla accepts self-referrals directly from you, alternatively another professional is able to contact on your behalf with your consent. You do not need a GP referral to access counselling services. Mikayla is currently only accepting clients as a counsellor and is not taking clients as a provisional psychologist until the completion of her studies.

Fees

Please be advised that a small fee increase will take effect from July 2026.

Initial Session — 60 minutes | $150

The initial session is all about getting to know each other. We’ll explore what you’re experiencing, begin unpacking some of the factors that may be contributing, and start developing a plan to help you move towards your goals.

Standard Session — 60 minutes | $150

Ongoing sessions offer a supportive space to explore what’s going on for you. Together, we’ll unpack challenges, identify patterns, and explore practical tools to help you move towards your goals. Depending on your needs and what resonates with you, sessions may draw on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT and Schema Therapy.

Extended Session — 90 minutes | $180

Look… I love to talk—it’s part of the job. If you’re also someone who likes a little more time to unpack things properly, I get it! Extended sessions are available if you feel like a standard session isn’t quite enough time to get the most out of counselling.

Student / Concession Session — 60 minutes | $130

The same support and good chats, just at a reduced rate for students and concession card holders.

Student / Concession Extended Session — 90 minutes | $165

The same extra time and extra-long good chats, just at a reduced rate for students and concession card holders.

Cancellation Policy

We kindly request at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

When you book an appointment, that time is reserved specifically for you and is unavailable to other clients. Providing adequate notice allows the appointment time to be offered to another client and helps minimise lost clinical time.

Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as failure to attend a scheduled appointment (no-show), will incur the full session fee. The cancellation fee reflects the clinical time that has been reserved for you rather than attendance at the appointment alone.

If you are late to an appointment, your session may be shorter than the scheduled duration. The appointment will still finish at the originally scheduled time, and the full session fee will apply.

If you provide a contact number or email address, a reminder message may be sent prior to your appointment. Appointment reminders are provided as a courtesy, and clients remain responsible for keeping track of their scheduled appointments. If you do not receive a reminder and subsequently cancel late or miss your appointment, the full session fee will still apply. If you are ever unsure about an upcoming appointment, please feel free to get in touch to confirm the booking.

Go to the services page to learn more about the services, the presenting concerns we support clients with & see if this is the right fit for what you need. If you’re still unsure, make contact & I’ll let you know if I think it could be a good fit, or support you to find someone who might be better suited.
