How Cherie works

Cherie provides therapeutic assistance to people in a respectful and meaningful manner.
The therapeutic techniques are tailored to clients and their needs.

Cherie’s predominant treatment modalities are:

  • Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) which addresses the impact of thoughts on a person’s feelings and behaviour.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a mindfulness-based approach which involves working towards acceptance of those issues that are out of your personal control, and committing to action that improves and enriches your life.
  • Psychodynamic psychotherapy which involves assisting people to work through their difficulties given their life experiences and addressing what they want in their lives and what inhibits them from pursuing this.
  • Clinical Hypnosis
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Who Cherie works with

Cherie is able to treat adult clients with the following range of conditions:

  • Anxiety disorders (including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social phobia, illness anxiety disorder)
  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Perinatal and post-natal anxiety and depression
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and hoarding
  • Eating disorders and body image issues
  • Relationship or family problems

  • Sleep problems

  • Recurrent life problems

Fee Structure and Rebates

Clients require a Mental Health Care Plan (completed by a GP or psychiatrist) to be seen under the Medicare ‘Better Access’ program. Under this program, clients are eligible to receive 10 sessions per year with a Medicare rebate. Clients with an eligible Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) are eligible for the Medicare rebate of $137.05 (50+ minute appointment) for sessions with a clinical psychologist. The option for credit card payment and automatic Medicare processing is available to streamline this process. Cherie is also a provider for most private health funds. 

The consultations are a standard 50-minute duration but Cherie requests that you allow an hour for your appointment. The rate charged for Cherie’s clinical psychology consultations is considerably lower than the current Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended rate and the fee will be discussed prior to your appointment. This is a private billing practice and as such an out-of-pocket fee is incurred.
