Choose the concern that fits best
Many concerns overlap. Start with the page that feels closest, select more than one in the enquiry form, or choose “Not sure where to start”. The pages below explain common patterns, how therapy may help, important limits and the next step.
Not sure where to start?
A first enquiry does not require a diagnosis or a detailed history. Briefly describe what is getting in the way, who the appointment is for and whether you prefer Melbourne or telehealth. The practice can then check service fit, age group, availability, referral or rebate pathway and the most appropriate appointment type.
What psychology therapy may involve
Psychological therapy is a collaborative process. The approach is matched to the person, concern, goals, strengths and clinical needs rather than delivered as a one-size-fits-all program. Depending on suitability and the treating psychologist’s scope, work may draw on CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, person-centred, strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches.
-
Understanding the patterns, triggers and context affecting wellbeing and daily functioning.
-
Agreeing on practical goals and a treatment plan that can be reviewed over time.
-
Learning and practising strategies in sessions and between appointments where useful.
-
Coordinating with a GP, psychiatrist, allied health provider, referrer or support person when consented and clinically appropriate.
-
Reviewing progress, barriers and whether another assessment or service pathway is needed.
How getting started usually works
1. Send a short enquiry or book a psychology session. Select the main concern or choose “Not sure”.
2. The practice checks service fit, age group, location or telehealth preference, current capacity and the referral or funding pathway.
3. The first appointment clarifies the concern, history, functioning, goals, strengths and any safety or medical factors.
4. You and the psychologist agree on a plan, review progress and adjust the work as needed.
Appointments, referrals and rebates
Private self-referral is welcome. A referral is not required simply to contact Meyer Institute or book a private appointment. A GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician referral may be needed when you wish to claim an eligible Medicare rebate. Private health, NDIS, WorkCover, TAC or other funding pathways depend on the service, approval and current arrangements and should be confirmed before treatment begins.
Tell us what is getting in the way
Select one or more concerns, tell us briefly what you would most like to be different, and choose your preferred appointment mode. A Meyer Institute team member will review the enquiry and contact you about the next suitable step.
FAQs
How do I know which concern page to choose?
Choose the page that feels closest, select more than one concern, or choose “Not sure”. The pages are guides to help route an enquiry, not diagnostic tests.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is required for a private self-referral. An eligible referral is needed if you want to claim a Medicare rebate, and other funding pathways may have their own requirements.
Are appointments available in person and online?
Meyer Institute offers selected Melbourne locations and telehealth Australia-wide where clinically suitable and available. The correct mode is confirmed during the enquiry process.
