Refer Yourself
Patients can self-refer or be referred by their GP or Psychiatrist.
Dr. Dawborn sees patients with a wide range of mental health concerns - including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, substance misuse, personality disorders, PTSD and complex PTSD.
-
Appointments
In many cases, about six to twelve appointments are appropriate.
Longer term issues will need more time – for example, entrenched patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving, impacting your everyday life.
Concessional patients will reach the extended medicare safety net (EMSN) in 6-8 consultations.
Non-concessional patients will reach the extended medicare safety net (EMSN) in 18-21 consultations
-
Unlimited Medicare Rebates
Patients requiring longer term psychotherapy can have continuing unlimited consultations under Medicare. This is because Dr Dawborn is a GP.
Patients having brief or long term psychotherapy can also be seen under a Mental Health Care Plan.
All personal therapy appointments are for 50 minutes. Couple sessions are for 60 minutes.
