How much does therapy cost in Bondi Beach?

Therapy sessions in Bondi Beach typically range from $150 to $350 per session, depending on the practitioner's qualifications, experience and specialisation. Clinical psychologists and specialist therapists in the Eastern Suburbs tend to sit at the higher end, while counsellors and psychotherapists often charge less. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of around $93 per session for a clinical psychologist or roughly $67 for a registered psychologist, which brings your out-of-pocket costs down. Some Bondi Beach therapists also offer sliding-scale fees or reduced rates for concession card holders.

What should I look for when choosing a therapist in Bondi Beach?

Start with qualifications and registration. In Bondi Beach, look for AHPRA registration if you want a psychologist, or PACFA/ACA membership for counsellors and psychotherapists. Beyond credentials, check whether the therapist has experience with your specific concern, whether that's anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties or family issues. The therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of good outcomes, so having an initial conversation to see if you feel comfortable is time well spent. Practical factors like proximity within the Eastern Suburbs, session availability and whether telehealth is offered can also make it easier to stay committed to the process.

How many therapy sessions will I need in Bondi Beach?

There's no single answer that applies to every Bondi Beach client. For focused concerns like mild to moderate anxiety or a specific life stressor, many people notice meaningful progress within six to twelve sessions. More complex issues such as trauma, chronic depression or deeply rooted relationship patterns may benefit from longer-term work. Under a Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plan, you can access up to ten individual sessions per calendar year. Your Bondi Beach therapist should discuss goals and expected timeframes early on and review progress regularly so you both know how things are tracking.

Can I get Medicare rebates for therapy in Bondi Beach?

Yes, many Bondi Beach residents access Medicare rebates for therapy. To qualify, visit your GP and request a Mental Health Treatment Plan (sometimes called a Mental Health Care Plan or MHTP). This plan entitles you to up to ten Medicare-rebated sessions per calendar year with an eligible provider, such as a clinical psychologist, registered psychologist or accredited mental health social worker. The rebate amount varies by provider type but typically covers a meaningful portion of the session fee. Counsellors registered only with PACFA or ACA are not eligible for Medicare rebates, so confirm your Bondi Beach therapist's registration before booking if rebates are a priority for you.

Hello, my name is Madeleine Power and I am a counsellor and life coach in Bundoora. I have recently moved to a new clinic space and do not currently have a waitlist. Therefore, I will generally be able to see you within a week. I offer counselling and life coaching on a Sunday from Bundoora, or online via Zoom. I have been working across the fields of counselling, youth work, social work and teaching for the past 20+ years and I bring this on-the-ground experience and expertise to every counselling session. My focus is always on supporting each client to clear what is not true to them, thus allowing them to feel and be themselves in full. I offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Strengths-Based Counselling to pre-teens, teenagers and adults from all walks of life. Although I work with people experiencing a range of conditions, my areas of expertise include: anxiety and stress; building confidence and self-worth; relationships; young people; and the LGBTIQ+ community. There is a common myth that counselling is only for people who have experienced a significant loss or trauma in their lives. But the truth is that almost everyone can benefit from counselling. Whether you are experiencing anxiety related to your home, work or school life, or you simply want to feel more confident and balanced in your life, I can support. If you would like to find out more, please visit my website: www.innersparkcounselling.com.au

I had 10 sessions with Rachel Sietzema to address some long standing behaviours that were affecting the quality of my relationships with my loved ones. Rachel and I connected instantly and I was able to trust her and be honest with her from day one. Rachel tuned into me and supported me with tenderness, compassion, wisdom and professionalism, while guiding me through a process that allowed me to face up to my responsibilities for my feelings, thoughts and actions. She employed a range of techniques to help me access my deepest emotions and beliefs and gave me the courage to make permanent changes to the way I operated. Rachel always knew where we were with the therapy process even when we had a longer than usual break. I could have gone on seeing her forever and I'm sure we would have always found something to work on but I finished seeing her when I felt confident that I had achieved my therapeutic goals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Rachel, for your guidance. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to be heard and is willing to make changes in their lives.

Peter has genuienly given me so much purpose & understanding of my world in such a fun, inclusive and strategic way to enable to assist in achieving these incredible results! I have so much respect and appreciation for all the work Peter has done in helping me understand my inner world & outer world

I’ve recently finished my time in therapy with Rachel, and it’s been truly life-changing. From the very beginning, I felt supported and seen. I especially loved attending sessions in person—it helped me feel more connected and present throughout the process. Therapy with Rachel completely shifted how I see myself and my relationships. I hadn’t realised how anxious and disconnected I was until I began this journey. With her guidance, I learned how to regulate my emotions, stay grounded, and connect more deeply with who I am. One of the most empowering outcomes was finding the clarity and strength to leave a relationship that wasn’t serving me—something I never thought I could do. Now, I feel freer, more social, and at peace with the unknown. I’ve come to terms with my past and developed a real sense of self-compassion. I’m incredibly grateful for Rachel’s support and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Ive been working with Peter for the past two years, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The depth and breadth of expertise they bring—ranging from business strategy to personal development, breathwork, health, and even pathologies—is truly remarkable. Each session is structured to help distill thoughts, refine them, and create a clear roadmap with short-, mid-, and long-term objectives. This structured approach ensures that every conversation translates into tangible progress, making it an invaluable asset. As the CEO of a small but rapidly growing company, I’ve found their guidance to be an indispensable sounding board—something that’s often missing in-house for companies this size. The ability to get well-rounded, high-caliber advice on such a vast array of topics has been an enormous value-add to both my business and personal life. Additionally, every recommendation—whether it’s a book, a supplement, or a strategic insight—is always spot-on. If you’re looking for a coach who can truly elevate your thinking, provide clarity, and help you execute at a higher level, I couldn’t recommend Peter more highly.

John is phenomenal with what he does! I am so thankful for the service and support, to say the least! Initially, I have personally found it hard to approach therapy because finding the "right" therapist (per say) that would best serve my needs is a prevalent reality. However, finding John and being able to glean from the quality of his work and expertise, reshaped my views on therapy being less threatening and stammering. Rather through my experience, John approached the treatment modality through passion and servanthood, which allowed me to confront the depth of therapy in a sufficiently digestible way that caters to my capacity. I cannot string together the best words to describe my gratitude for everything John has offered and walked through with me. I have discovered so many practical tools, knowledge, and aspects about myself that I can confidently say have helped increase (and continue to increase) my emotional intelligence.

Kirt was the only counsellor who reached out to me on bark, and incredibly quickly, after a chat to figure out if she was a good fit I've spent the past few months working with her and haven't had a more understanding and respectful counselling experience prior. I look forward to working with her indefinitely :)

FAQs

In Bondi Beach, the main distinction is training and registration. Psychologists complete a minimum of six years of university education and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which allows them to provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors typically hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA and are not AHPRA-registered, so their sessions are generally not covered by Medicare. Both can deliver excellent outcomes for Bondi Beach clients. Many people in the Eastern Suburbs choose a counsellor when they want flexible, relationship-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
