“Mrs. B came to therapy because she found herself unable to cope in social situations. She would get so anxious she would feel nauseous…”
“S was having marital difficulties, she was depressed, having difficulties sleeping, her appetite was off and she had gone to a psychiatrist who wanted to put her on antidepressants. As she did not want this she was referred for therapy by her GP…”
You do not need a referral to come and see a Clinical Psychologist, however, if you have a referral from your GP you can tax deduct your visits as a medical expense.
Many Private Health funds also cover part of your consultations. Please inquire with your fund if you have the right cover.
