$131.05 a session with a Medicare plan. Here’s the arithmetic.<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Cost is the most common reason people put off therapy for years, so it belongs on the front page rather than behind an enquiry form.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Say it is for a mental health plan when you book, so they allocate enough time. A standard fifteen-minute consult is not long enough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Four sessions a week are held at no cost for people on a Health Care Card, a pension, or in genuine hardship. You do not need to prove hardship or explain your finances: say you need one and reception will find the next available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
