Our Approach – Mount Evelyn Counselling
Tired of the same old thing? Same old arguments? Same old distresses? Longing for change, but you just don’t know how to get there.
Most people are not interested in re-hashing problems. They just want them fixed. We can help you find answers and make changes for the better.
Fee Structure
For Psychologists, there are a ranges of set fees aligned to the specific service. Medicare rebates are available when you have a doctor’s referral and a Mental Health Care Plan through Better Access to Mental Health.
For counsellors, the fees are structured on a sliding scale basis.
A number of Private Health Insurers cover Psychology sessions and some also cover Counselling sessions. Each fund has its own guidelines which we encourage our clients to contact their insurer about.
If you need to cancel an appointment, there may be a fee charged if the session is cancelled within 24 hours of the session scheduled time. There is also a ‘no show’ policy where a cancellation fee is payable for not attending an appointment.
About Us
Mount Evelyn Counselling Inc. was founded in 2010 by three practitioners. Their desire was to develop a practice that served the local community in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne and the Yarra Valley.
Since then, the team has expanded as psychologists and counsellors have joined the practice with a wide range of skills and specialized areas of expertise. This has allowed the practice to broaden the services we offer clients. See our practitioners page for the range of services we provide.
Our counselling centre is located in heart of Mount Evelyn next to the Mount Evelyn Primary School. We can meet with you face-to-face in one of our four consulting rooms or connect with you on-line through telehealth.
Mount Evelyn Counselling has connections with several local schools where practitioners meet with children in the school environment.
Through on-line counselling we now can reach well beyond this area to support individuals from across Victoria and interstate who seek our services.
We have several practitioners who have lived experience of rural living and understand the challenges faced outside capital cities and the different pace of life experienced in these settings.
Working with Us
Are you tired of working for private practices where they talk about serving the clients, but the real objective is maximizing the profit of those who own the practice?
Mount Evelyn Counselling Inc deliberately set out to be different.
We are a group of Christian psychologists and counsellors who formed our own incorporated association to provide a not-for profit counselling centre so we can genuinely serve our clientele while earning a decent income from our professional work.
Mount Evelyn Counselling is an egalitarian team of professionals committed to providing excellence in psychological care to our clients. We are widely connected with medical centres, and Christian and state schools in outer eastern Melbourne and the Yarra Valley.
We are not merely offering you employment. We are looking for Christian psychologists and counsellors who share our faith and values to join our association as a member and become a part of our professional community.
If you would like to discuss opportunities for joining our team, please contact our reception office who will arrange for someone to speak with you.
