TRAUMA-INFORMED COUNSELLING IN MELBOURNE & NORTH WARRANDYTE

Depression, anxiety, fear and stress are some of the most common, and most uncomfortable, emotions we experience. Left alone, they don't just fade; they build, and carrying it on your own is heavier than it needs to be.

Through counselling, TaylorMade helps you enhance your motivation, perspective and joy, focusing on the connection between your thoughts and feelings, your attachments, and the impact of your childhood experiences, so you're considering the whole picture, not just the symptom in front of you.

Our Approach

We provide an evidence-based, holistic approach to counselling, drawing on a range of practices including EMDR, cognitive-behavioural therapy, schema therapy, crisis intervention, compassion-based mindfulness, narrative therapy, attachment and trauma-focused therapy, developmental approaches and solution-focused therapy.

What You Can Expect

A welcoming, safe & comfortable space (you may even find your clinician barefoot & curled up in the chair!)
A judgement-free zone
Focused attention on your goals, with tailored strategies that work for you
A supportive, empathetic response, including a few laughs and maybe some spirited challenging conversations
Respectful, engaging interactions, and a clinician who celebrates the changes you make
Counselling appointments via Zoom or telephone can be arranged.

EAP Counselling

TaylorMade also specialises in EAP counselling: short-term, solution-based therapy focused on resolving workplace, personal or psychological issues.

Any requests for counselling appointments will be responded to in a timely manner and requests for crisis appointments can, in most cases, be accommodated for.

Every client will receive an SMS reminder with the date, time and location of their appointment 48 hours prior.

Forty-eight hours notice of cancellation is required as it allows us to use the time for others. If you fail to provide at least forty-eight hours notice, you will be charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the scheduled fee (plus the credit card processing fee) on the day of your scheduled appointment. If you cancel on the day of the appointment or simply are a no show for an appointment, you will be charged the full fee (plus the credit card processing fee). This fee will be automatically charged to your credit card at the time of the missed session.

** You will not be charged if you are a EAP or CPHPV client.

Medicare Rebates are available with specific clinicians (Linda & Brie) to clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

Our clinicians at TaylorMade West Melbourne are registered providers with WorkSafe Victoria, TAC and some private Health Funds along with various EAP providers.

TaylorMade Counselling is also happy to invoice NDIS self-managed clients.

CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations & Non-attendance

The 48 hours notice period is business hours and does not include weekends or public holidays.

Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of the full fee (plus credit card transaction fee).
Appointments cancelled (including no shows) with less than 24 hours notice will incur a cancellation fee of 100% of the full fee (plus credit card transaction fee).

All invoices must be settled before being able to book a future appointment.
