H-L Therapy is a group of therapists in private practice (i.e. psychotherapists, hypnotherapists, counsellors, art therapists, and accredited mental health social workers). We have just joined Bark.
We are different from many other providers of therapeutic services because, in addition to a wide range of psychological techniques, our practitioners are also skilled in different guided visualisation, hypnotherapy, meditation, relaxation, and artistic exploration techniques.

What do you love most about your job?
Seeing people regain their confidence, improve, and become confident and self-assured. Observing a big difference in the clients when compared to how they were in their first session. Seeing people who previously struggled emotionally becoming stronger. When they come to their therapy appointment, enter the room, and you can just see it - there is no need for words. You as the therapist can see the change because their whole face is transformed: they smile, their skin has a different tone, and they look relaxed and more radiant. And you know that they are becoming better. It is a privilege to observe this.
What inspired you to start your own business?
From Alicja Weidner / Principal Therapist; H-L Therapy: My professional working experience along with lifelong training in psychology, sociology, communication, and psychotherapy provided me with the knowledge, tools, and experience to support other people, and inspired me to open my own therapy practice.
In 1994 I completed my Bachelor of Social Work and later in 1999 my Masters of Gerontology, both at the University of South Australia. Following my university studies, I worked for over 20 years in various government organisations, providing counseling, therapy, and managerial services. During that time, I stumbled across something, which at that time was not frequently used in therapy: guided visualisation techniques. Now they are used by many practitioners and called 'meditations'. It is amazing how well people are improving - just by using their own ability to visualise scenarios and possibilities. I felt that with guided visualisation techniques I was able to really help people. And this was my first step towards fine tuning my knowledge in various psychotherapeutic techniques. This knowledge was then expanded by further studies in clinical hypnotherapy, mindfulness, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In 2015 I have completed my Certificate in Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapy, which was followed by Diploma in Hypno-Counselling. A year and a half later, after conducting over 500 hypnotherapy sessions, I become a Clinical Hypnotherapist and have developed a high level of expertise in this therapeutic modality.
In 2016 I have founded my therapy business and over the years, it has slowly grown and it is now well established. Currently, there are five of us at H-L Therapy and we are passionate about supporting people in achieving their best potential.

MEDICARE REBATES.
All H-L Therapy practitioners are trained in the provision of mental health counselling but our accredited mental health social workers are Medicare providers and are able to claim Medicare rebates.
To access Medicare rebates you would require a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your doctor. We can advise you how to go about this / please contact us to discuss this further.
The total fee for mental health counselling varies subject to the complexity. Medicare reimbursed
$79 for each appointment. This rebate is processed and is payable to the client after each session.
Some people may prefer to pay privately rather than use Medicare rebates, and this is also an option.
Hypnotherapy and Art Therapy are not provided as a part of Medicare subsidised services but can also be purchased by privately paying clients.
Psychotherapy
We support the clients by applying various psychotherapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
