Does this sound like where you're at?
Your mind runs through the same worries on a loop, even when you tell it to stop

You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't seem to fix
You don't have to have all the answers before your first session — just a willingness to show up.
HOW WE CAN HELP
How we can help with anxiety
1
Understanding your anxiety, not just naming it
We help you explore what’s driving the worry — your history, your context, your nervous system — so the strategies you leave with actually fit you.
2
Practical tools you can use straight away
Alongside the deeper work, you’ll leave sessions with evidence-based strategies for the moments anxiety shows up in daily life.
3
Telehealth or in-person, your choice
See us face-to-face at Surrey Hills or Coburg North, or via telehealth from anywhere in Australia — whatever fits your week.
“Through insight we can understand ourselves, who we are within our system, our society, our culture, our family.”

Do I need a GP referral to see a psychologist for anxiety?
A referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP allows you to access Medicare rebates, but it isn’t required to book an appointment with us directly.
Does Medicare cover anxiety therapy?
Yes, Medicare rebates are available with a valid Mental Health Care Plan. We can also see NDIS self- and plan-managed participants and clients with private health cover.
Is telehealth available for anxiety therapy?
Yes, we offer telehealth appointments Australia-wide, as well as face-to-face sessions at our Surrey Hills and Coburg North clinics.
How long is the first appointment?
Your first session is typically 50 minutes and focuses on understanding your situation and what support looks like for you — there’s no obligation to continue afterward.
Do you see teenagers for anxiety, or only adults?
We work with clients from age 6 through to older adults, so teenagers are very much welcome. Let us know their age when you book so we can match you with the right psychologist.
What if I don't know exactly what's wrong, I just feel anxious all the time?
That’s a completely normal place to start from. You don’t need the right words or a diagnosis — our psychologists will help you make sense of it together.

Terms & Conditions
The free 10-minute intake call is available to new clients only, one per person, subject to practitioner availability, and offered on an ongoing basis (no set expiry). It is a brief conversation to see whether Insightful Living Co. is the right fit for you and to answer practical questions (fees, Medicare rebates, availability) — it is not a therapy session, does not involve clinical assessment or advice, and does not guarantee an ongoing appointment. Standard consultation fees and Medicare rebate rules apply to all booked appointments following the intake call.
