So how does the Mental Health Directory work?
In providing a directory of psychological services, the aims are:
1. To provide you with information about services or supports that can contribute positively to your psychological health, and;
2. To connect you with these services.
Information as to the type of service that is provided by practitioners, their approach, their areas of specialisation along with their location and their associated fees are provided on the directory. Once you decide on who you think would be able to help you, send them an email or call them to organise when you might have your first session. You might also have a number of questions for the practitioner which you can ask at this stage.
After you have locked in a time to meet with the practitioner, either by phone or by email, you will then need to pay a 15% deposit for your first session through a secure online payment service. In paying the 15% deposit, you will be issued with a Psych-it receipt that will entitle you to an even greater discount off the cost of your first session. Once you have had your first appointment with the practitioner you will then determine with the practitioner how you will organise the ongoing payment of fees.
