Therapy with Debra
Debra has spent the last twenty years working in both public and private mother/baby units, whilst also maintaining a private practice. She specialises in individual psychotherapy with parents at the stage of conception right through to families with children under 5.
Offering therapy for individuals, couples and making herself available for group facilitation, is Debra’s primary professional focus. Therapy sessions are held privately from the inviting space of her home in Melbourne’s north east.

FAQs
What are the fees?
A standard consultation is $160 and each session is an hour long, including an initial session.
Can I access a Medicare rebate?
Yes. With a Mental Health Plan from your GP you will receive more than half of your payment back.
Can I use private health cover?
This may be available with some Health Insurance Companies.
Can I access therapy through Telehealth?
Telehealth is available when necessary, however office sessions are preferred and encouraged where possible to allow for a more personal and supportive treatment schedule.
Can I bring my baby?
Of course. Babies are encouraged and welcomed (and cuddled). It is recommended that childcare be accessed only when babies become more mobile and interfere with parent’s focus.
Can I complete the Circle of Security Program in therapy?
Yes. As a fully trained facilitator, the Circle of Security Parenting Program can be offered individuals and couples within therapy sessions.
