Consultations with David and Alli

How long? Usually 60 minutes in duration or an initial appointment for 1.5 hours for couples attending a joint session

What does it cost? $100 inclusive of GST for the hour or an initial consultation $150 inclusive of GST for 1.5 hours for some couples. (You can request a counselling session with both David and Alli present which is $200 inclusive of GST per hour session). Telephone calls or email dissussions longer than 15 minutes will be charged to your account. 

When do I pay? Fees are due at the end of a consultation and can be paid in cash, cheque, credit or EFTPOS.  Cheques can be made out to David and Alli Nielsen.  Counselling fees are not usually reimbursed by private health funds, though counselling related to your employment may be tax deductible.  Top level cover in some funds may give a refund for counselling.  We encourage all of our clients to check with their insurer first.

We operate on a sliding scale based on family and individual income for full-time students and Health Care Card Holders.  Please discuss any matters related to fees when you make your appointment.
