Does this sound like where you're at?
You feel flat, low on energy, or like you've lost your spark for things you used to enjoy
Getting through an ordinary day takes more effort than it used to
You've done "everything right" and still don't feel like yourself
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 low mood and depression
1
A whole-person approach
We look at what’s going on in context — your life, your history, your relationships — rather than just a checklist of symptoms.
2
Evidence-based, practical support
You’ll leave sessions with a clearer understanding of what’s going on and concrete ways to work with it, not just talk about it.
3
A pace that respects where you’re at
Some weeks you’ll have more capacity than others, and that’s completely normal — your psychologist will work with where you’re at, not where you “should” be.
“Through insight we can understand ourselves, who we are within our system, our society, our culture, our family.”

How do I know if what I'm feeling is depression?
Low mood shows up differently for everyone — flatness, low energy, or losing interest in things you used to enjoy are all common signs worth talking to someone about. A psychologist can help you understand what’s going on; we can’t diagnose over the phone, but the intake call is a good place to start that conversation.
Does Medicare cover therapy for depression?
Yes, Medicare rebates are available with a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. We also see NDIS self- and plan-managed participants.
Is telehealth an option if I don't have the energy to come in?
Yes, telehealth is available Australia-wide alongside our Surrey Hills and Coburg North clinics, so you can choose whatever feels most manageable.
What happens in the first session?
Your first appointment is about understanding your situation and what support could look like — there’s no pressure to have it all figured out beforehand.
How long does therapy for low mood usually take?
This depends entirely on you and your circumstances. Your psychologist will talk through a suggested approach with you directly rather than promising a fixed timeframe.
What if I don't know exactly what's wrong, I just feel tired 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.
