WANDERLUST

BASELINE COUNSELLING

Providing Triage (First Step) Counselling services to create a soft and sturdy first space to land and a clear pathway to accessing ongoing support through our networks of incredible Psychologists, Counsellors, Mental Health & Health Specialists.

Navigating the Mental Health Care System can be complicated/overwhelming. We aim to make this process a whole lot easier for you.

The sessions run for 50 minutes and can be held outdoors in beautiful parks (Perth) or Online via Video Call.

Who is this service for?

  • Humans who are requiring some support but don’t know where to start.

  • Humans that are unsure of what steps to take to begin accessing support.

  • Humans who are unsure of the type of support or type of practitioner they would most benefit from.

  • Humans that are slipping through the cracks without access to medicare and unsure how to access quality support without huge out of pocket costs. (We can refer you to high quality, low-cost support)

  • Humans who would like to be matched with a Mental Health Support system that would best suit what they are currently tackling.

What makes our approach different?

We believe that being outdoors is the most beautiful environment to make you feel comfortable, confident and ready to tackle challenges. The fresh air, the vitamin D, the nature, the grass/sand at your feet. Reconnecting with nature is so good for both our physical and mental health.

In addition to this, the comfort you gain from being in a non-clinical space provides you with the ability to really self-reflect and dive into what it is that is not working for you, what you’d like to change and what you need to do to make that change.

We love the analogy: You don’t teach someone how to ride a bike by doing it for them, you gently guide them, holding the handle bars and empowering them to steer in the direction they’d like to move in.

Fees & More Deets…

We are providing triage support, which can range from 1-3 consecutive sessions. Within these sessions, we aim to provide a safe and sturdy space to approach what you’re tackling, work together to figure out where specifically you may need some support and chat through support options and referrals. It is also an option to access this triage counselling between psychological sessions or whilst on a waitlist for ongoing support services.

The fee is $139 +gst per 50 minute counselling session. (Unfortunately you are not able to use your mental health care plan or private health cover for this service. We are not an ongoing service and this one-off fee covers not only the triage support but the referral to your ongoing support system)

We acknowledge that this fee may not be affordable for everyone. If you are struggling financially and would really benefit from this triage service, please hit the contact form button below so we can provide you with some lower cost/free triage options, as well as some options for payment plans.
