Below you’ll find the current fees for [individual counselling in Darwin] and [relationship counselling in Darwin] at Breakthrough Psychology.
No referral is required to book an appointment. You’re welcome to book online at a time that suits you.
Individual Counselling
Individual therapy is tailored to your needs and may focus on anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions. You can learn more about my approach on the Individual Counselling page.

- Ongoing sessions (50 minutes): $300
Medicare rebate:
With a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $145.25 per session.
This means the approximate out-of-pocket cost is:
- Initial session: $454.75
- Ongoing sessions: $154.75
Sessions are practical, evidence-based, and focused on meaningful change.

I offer both a structured relationship assessment and ongoing couples therapy. You can read more about this on the Relationship Counselling page.

This is a comprehensive process completed in one day and includes:

As the Northern Territory’s only Certified Gottman Therapist, I use the Gottman Method to support couples to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship.
