Counselling in Footscray, VIC

Every counsellor and therapist we hold in Footscray and nearby, with published session fees side by side. Counselling costs vary widely and are mostly self-funded, so the fee is the number that matters. We hold no one's private data - published fees and public listings only.

What's covered, and what's not
Medicare
Generally not covered. Rebates apply only if you see a registered psychologist or accredited mental-health social worker, not a counsellor.
Private health
Many funds rebate counselling under extras cover. Check your fund and the counsellor's provider recognition.
Other options
Some counsellors offer sliding-scale fees, or sessions funded through NDIS or a workplace EAP. Ask the practice.
Because counselling is mostly paid out of pocket, the session fee is the clearest number to compare - there is no subsidy evening out the differences. Fees below are as published by each practice.

We rank only on public data - distance, published fees and availability - never on who pays. No counsellor can buy a higher spot or pay to appear. Counselling has no government quality rating, so this page compares cost and access only, not clinical quality or fit.
