ACT of Living counsellors and psychologists have returned to face to face counselling. You can find out if your chosen counsellor or psychologist has returned to in person counselling by phoning or emailing them directly – contact details are on their webpages.
While Victoria emerges from lockdown, it is more important than ever to take care of your mental health. In person counselling is the best way to do that. We have taken additional steps to protect your physical health when you attend in-person counselling at 203 High St, Northcote.
Until at least the end of March 2022, telehealth sessions (by video or phone) will also be rebated by Medicare. If you are making a decision about attending in-person sessions, it will be helpful to know about safety measures we have taken and our expectations of you to ensure your attendance is safe and as convenient as possible.
-
We have introduced completely contactless billing and are no longer processing physical cards (Medicare or payment) through an EFTPOS terminal. You can read more about our new system here.
-
We have staggered appointment times, so there are 10-15 minute gaps between each practitioner’s start and finish times. This minimises any contact between you and other clients.
- Counselling rooms are disinfected each day.
-
There is a maximum capacity of 3 people, including the counsellor, in any of the counselling rooms.
-
Obviously, if you have flu-like or cold symptoms, have been or suspect you have been in contact with a possible COVID case, or are awaiting results of a COVID-19 test, or need to isolate for any other reason, please do not attend. Your counsellor will be able to provide a telehealth session if these criteria apply to you.
We look forward to seeing you either at 203 High Street, or wherever you are via telehealth. To make an appointment call us, or fill in our contact form and we’ll be in touch shortly.
