Psychologists and therapists in Rose Park, Adelaide

OneBodyMind is a collective of independent mental health professionals who share consulting rooms on Fullarton Road, Rose Park. You are not allocated to anyone.

Therapy works best when you feel at ease with the person in the room. Decades of research point the same way: a good working relationship between you and your therapist — sometimes called the therapeutic alliance — is at least as important to how therapy goes as the particular approach they use. So let yourself be guided by rapport. Whose profile reads like someone you could talk to? Who has worked with what you are carrying? Does it matter to you to see a woman or a man, or to meet in person rather than online? There are no wrong answers, and you do not have to decide everything before you book.

If it helps to know more first, our What we help with pages describe anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, relationships, chronic pain, adult ADHD and autism and more, and our Types of therapy pages explain the approaches in plain language. They are there to inform your choice, not to make it for you.

If your GP has referred you to a particular practitioner, we recommend booking with them. If the referral names no one, the choice is yours; a Mental Health Treatment Plan can be used with any eligible practitioner here.

And if, after a session or two, it does not feel like the right fit, that is a normal part of finding the right person. Say so — reception can help you find someone else, and changing practitioner does not need a new referral.

A standard consultation is in the range of $260 to $290, quoted before any Medicare or private health rebate. With a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare rebates part of the fee for sessions with eligible practitioners under the Better Access initiative; the rebate varies between practitioners and is confirmed when you book. Telehealth is billed at the same rate as face-to-face and attracts the same rebates. Couples therapy is not covered by Medicare. The practitioners at OneBodyMind do not bulk bill. NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed are welcome; the practitioners are not NDIS-registered providers, so NDIA-managed (agency-managed) plans cannot be used here.

The details — how the referral works, how many sessions a plan covers, what happens with private health extras — are in what a session costs, Medicare and referrals and NDIS participants.

Arrive a few minutes early and use the self check-in on arrival — it works the same at any hour, and the instructions come by email and text before your appointment. Bring your Mental Health Treatment Plan if your GP has not already sent it to us. The first session is about understanding what has brought you in and agreeing on a way forward, and it is usually the same length as the sessions that follow unless you ask for a longer appointment. What you discuss is confidential, within the limits your practitioner explains at the first session. What to expect at a first appointment walks through it step by step, and you can take a look inside OneBodyMind first — reception, the playroom and the consulting rooms.
