We are not accepting new clients at this time.
Dr Julianne Livingston, Clinical Psychologist
Visiting this site is already a positive move - finding quality support for your mental health and wellbeing is important. I'm here to help.
As a clinical psychologist with experience across private practice, public health services, hospital, and university settings, I offer adults therapy for a range of mental health conditions, emotional issues, and life challenges. This includes:
- anxiety & worry
- low mood and depression
- low self-esteem and low confidence
- insomnia
- intrusive thoughts and compulsive coping behaviours, often referred to as OCD symptoms
- healing from trauma and past experiences.
What to Expect
Using a non-judgemental and compassionate approach, we can work together to:
- build a shared understanding of your difficulties, strengths, and what you are wanting to get out of therapy
- this might involve deepening insight, learning new skills, making positive changes, and could include healing from your past
- foster your personal growth and resilience.
I offer evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs including:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills
- Schema Therapy
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
Psychology Supervision
I'm also a Board-approved supervisor who really enjoys supporting provisional and fully registered psychologists in their practice.
Through supportive supervision, I offer a space where you can work through challenges, sharpen your clinical skills, and grow your confidence.
Interested in working together? I'd love to hear from you!

Starting Your Therapy Journey
With a GP Referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan:
- you can access up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions per calendar year.
- the referral must be dated and signed by your GP
- send me your GP referral and plan before your first appointment
Good to know:
- Referral can be to me, another psychologist, or just "Psychologist"
- After you've used all the sessions on your initial GP referral (usually 6 sessions), you'll need to obtain a GP re-referral to access further Medicare rebates (up to 10 a year).
Psychiatrists can also refer you through a referral letter.
Self-referral: You're welcome to reach out to me directly! However you won't be able to claim Medicare rebates without a doctor's referral.
Using Private Health Insurance?
- First, check your policy's psychology coverage and claiming process
- Let me know if you're using private insurance
- You'll claim rebates directly from your insurer after receiving a receipt from me
- You can't claim both Medicare and private health rebates for the same session
Fees & Medicare Rebates
Session Fee: $260 for 50 minute session (plus payment processor fee: 1.9% + $1)
Medicare Rebate: $141.85 per session, with a valid GP referral.
Your out-of-pocket cost: $118.15 per session
I can lodge your Medicare claim for you for easy reimbursement!
Cancellation Policy
I value your time and mine. Please read my cancellation policy carefully:
- More than 2 business days' notice: No charge
- Less than 2 business days' notice: Full session fee.
Important Notes:
- Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm
- Weekends and public holidays don't count towards notice periods
- Cancellation fees are not eligible for Medicare or private health rebates
- Good news: If I am able to fill your cancelled appointment, I'll waive the cancellation fee for you.
This policy helps serve everyone fairly while being flexible where possible. Thank you for understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both!
I'm happy to offer both in-person and telehealth appointments to meet your needs.
While I find it most helpful to meet face-to-face for our initial session, I'm committed to working together to find what works best for you.
We strive to keep wait times minimal. Please feel free to contact me for an estimate of wait times and to discuss your needs and specific options.
I do not provide psychological services under WorkCover or TAC funding arrangements.
I also do not provide psychological assessments, reports/documentation, or treatment relating to workplace or personal injury, liability, or damages.
To maintain the integrity of therapeutic work, I don't work with family members or close friends of current or former clients. Nor do I provide therapy to people with whom I have existing personal or professional relationship.
If you're unsure about your situation, please contact me for guidance.
Please reach out to me by email or use the form below to schedule a free, brief phone call to discuss your needs.
