What To Expect

Below is some helpful information about how psychology sessions work at Inner Northern Psychology

Initial contact

Please reach out to us via phone, email, or our online submission form if you would like to inquire about an appointment.

Our professional and supportive admin team will endeavour to answer any questions that you may have. In addition, our admin team will also ask you some questions in order to match you with the most appropriate psychologist for your circumstances.

First psychology session

It is natural to feel a little nervous before your first appointment. Rest assured, our team of experienced psychologists are warm, non-judgemental and will do their best to help you feel at ease.

Prior to your first session, we will email you some information about Inner Northern Psychology. We will also email you a link to complete an intake form, which includes a consent form and important information about fees, confidentiality and our privacy policy, together with your contact and payment details.

Each session will run for approximately 50 minutes. We recommend attending weekly or fortnightly sessions to begin with. Frequency of sessions can be discussed with your psychologist to best fit your needs.

For the most efficient and effective treatment, the first session generally involves a detailed assessment of your current life situation, your difficulties and any contributing factors and history. You can ask your psychologist any questions that you may have and set a collaborative course for the direction of your sessions. There is often a lot to cover in this first session, and it is typical for it to take one or two sessions to get through all this information. Most people find this initial meeting a helpful first step.

Face to Face Sessions

We are located at 361a Brunswick St in the heart of Fitzroy. You can find our charcoal grey door between two restaurants: Viet Rose and La Vineria. Simply make your way up the stairs to our waiting area and take a seat.
Payment and Medicare rebates are processed automatically during your appointment, so please ensure you have completed your intake forms and provided payment details prior to your initial appointment.

Telehealth Sessions

Online appointments work in exactly the same way as a face to face appointments, but we deliver therapy via the internet. Before your session, your psychologist will email you a link to your initial appointment. Please keep an eye out as this may be diverted to your junk email inbox. The flexibility of telehealth means that we are able to offer sessions to clients from around Australia or local clients who simply prefer the comfort of home for their sessions.

Accessibility

Our clinic on Brunswick Street requires ambulant capacity. We have stairs that take you from the door on Brunswick St, up to the first level where our clinic is located. If you struggle with stairs, unfortunately Inner Northern Psychology may prove difficult to access for you. We are deeply sorry for this. We are of course more than happy for limited mobility clients to be seen via our telehealth platform.

If you have any questions or concerns along the way, our team is always here to help.
