Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a referral to make an appointment. However, if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan and referral from your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician.
Do you offer telehealth appointments?
Yes. Appointments are available both in-person and via telehealth for clients located anywhere in Australia.
Who do you work with?
Karina works with adolescents, adults, older adults, and couples experiencing a range of emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties.
How long are appointments?
Most appointments are 60 minutes in duration.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, your goals, relevant background information, and any questions you may have. Together, you and Karina will begin developing an understanding of your concerns and explore how therapy may be helpful.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. A brief phone consultation is available for new clients who would like an opportunity to ask questions before booking. This is completely optional.
What therapeutic approaches do you use?
Karina draws primarily from Schema Therapy and also integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, somatic approaches, sleep-focused interventions, and Jungian Dream Analysis where appropriate.
