About Me I am a Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar with experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. Areas of Interest I work with adults and adolescents (16+ in South Australia; 18+ in other states). Whilst I mainly work with men, I also see women and I welcome people from all walks of life. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk things through and find practical ways forward. Some of the areas I often support clients with include: * Depression, anxiety, or anger * Navigating major life stressors (such as separation) * Recovering from traumatic experiences * Challenges with addictive behaviours * Relationship difficulties * Finding healthier ways to cope with and express emotions Availability I offer consultations in person or via telehealth on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and telehealth-only appointments on Mondays. After-hours sessions may also be available on request. Approach to Therapy My therapeutic approach is neurodiversity-affirming, and I primarily work within a trauma-informed Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) framework. I take an integrative and flexible approach, drawing on strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Schema Therapy to best support each person’s individual needs. I do not provide couples counselling or medico-legal reports. Fees & Rebates Psychology consultations are $230 per 50-minute session. I work with clients supported through private health funds, Medicare, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). If you have a valid referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from your GP, you may be eligible to claim a Medicare rebate of $98.95 per session, which leaves an out-of-pocket cost (gap) of $131.05. Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year. Getting Started If you are considering starting therapy and would like to see if we would be a good fit, I invite you to email me (lachlan@menspsych.com.au) to arrange a free 15-minute consultation. This is a chance to talk through what’s going on for you, ask any questions, and get a feel for what our work together might involve.
