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, and university settings, I offer adults therapy for a range of mental health conditions, emotional issues, and life challenges. This includes:
anxiety & worry

intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours
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.

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

Session Fee: $260 for 50 minute session (plus payment processor fee: 1.9% + $1)
Medicare Rebate: $145.25 per session, with a valid GP referral.
Your out-of-pocket cost: $114.75 per session
I can lodge your Medicare claim for you for easy reimbursement!

Frequently Asked Questions
Both!
