Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I understand you may have questions before scheduling a session with Mindful Mind Counselling. Below are some of the most common queries.
About My Approach
What types of counselling do you offer?
I offer individual counselling for adults and adolescents, with a focus on supporting those who’ve experienced adversity and are seeking greater authenticity, balance, and connection.
My role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, gently release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your inner strength.
How do you incorporate mindfulness and a holistic approach?
My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, recognising the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.
I often integrate mindfulness and body-based awareness to support nervous system regulation, presence, and self-understanding.
I may also weave in somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom.
Is spirituality part of your approach?
Spirituality is not required, but I welcome and respect individual beliefs.
If exploring spirituality feels meaningful to your healing journey, we can gently incorporate it in a way that feels safe and supportive.
How long are sessions?
Standard Session: 60 minutes
Extended Session: 90 minutes
You can choose the duration that best suits your needs.
What happens during a session?
Sessions are collaborative and paced gently.
You’ll have space to share what’s on your mind, and I’ll listen with empathy and without judgment.
Together, we may explore insights, body-based awareness, and strategies to support your healing and growth.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Everything you share is treated with care and confidentiality, in line with the ethical guidelines of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Australian privacy laws.
If there are rare exceptions (such as legal obligations or safety concerns), I’ll discuss these with you openly and transparently.
How many sessions will I need?
Every journey is unique.
Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others value longer-term support.
We’ll discuss what feels right for you and adjust as your needs evolve.
Booking, Fees, & Logistics
Where are your sessions held?
Online sessions are open to all clients.
In-person appointments are currently available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and some Fridays at Aligned Souls, Malaga, WA. Please check the scheduling portal or contact me for specific availability.
How do online sessions work?
Online sessions are held via a secure video platform.
All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet, private space where you feel safe.
What are your fees?
Standard Session (60 minutes): $120
Extended Session (80 minutes): $160
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept online payments (at the time of booking), cash, EFTPOS, credit/debit cards, and bank transfer (details provided upon booking).
Payment is kindly requested at the time of your session, unless you’ve prepaid during online booking or we’ve arranged otherwise.
What is your cancellation policy?
Life happens and sometimes plans change.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice. This helps me offer the time to someone else who may be waiting for support.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a 50% fee
Missed appointments without notice may be charged at the full fee
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You’re welcome to contact me directly to book.
How do I book?
You can enquire via the Schedule a Session page, call or text 0413 519 382, or email info@mindfulmindcc.com.
Do you offer Medicare rebates?
Not at this stage.
However, I’m committed to accessibility. If you’re experiencing financial hardship, please reach out and we can have a compassionate conversation about options.
Can I claim through private health insurance?
Some private health funds cover counselling.
Please check with your provider directly. Typically, you pay my fee upfront and then claim back from your insurer.
Taking the First Step
What can I expect in my first session?
Our first session is a gentle introduction.
It’s a chance for us to connect, for you to share what has brought you here, and for me to understand your hopes for counselling.
We’ll also cover confidentiality and practical details, so you feel clear and supported.
How do I know if this is the right fit for me?
The best way to know is to connect.
I offer a free, no‑pressure 15‑minute consultation where you can share what you’re looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of whether my approach feels right for you.
