Appointments
To make an appointment, please call 0411 966 210. Please note it is likely that you will have to leave a message. However, your call will be returned as soon as possible, usually by the next business day.
Appointments are available in two locations in the Inner West. Eve offers appointments in Leichhardt (on Mondays) and in Glebe (on Tuesdays). After hours appointments are offered but are subject to availability. Appointments are typically for 55 minutes. Most people find it helpful to have therapy sessions once a week or once a fortnight. The frequency will usually decrease towards the end of treatment.
At your first appointment, an assessment will be conducted. This means that the appointment will be mostly spent asking a lot of questions about your problems to get a clear understanding of what is troubling you. It is also often necessary to ask questions about other aspects of your life, in order to have a comprehensive view of your circumstances. Generally, the active part of therapy would begin after this session, in other words, from the second session onwards.
A GP's referral is not necessary to make an appointment. However, it may be useful, as your GP may be able to refer you to psychological services under the Medicare Scheme for mental disorders, if this is appropriate. The scheme provides for Medicare rebates for up to 12 sessions. Refer to the “Fees” section, or ask your doctor for more information about this scheme.
