Medicare Rebates Psychologists and Social Workers in Brunswick, VIC

Lisa Torney
Social Worker, AMHSW
1 Endorsed
Brunswick, VIC 3056
I can provide Medicare rebates if you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP and am highly experienced working with the LGBTIQA+ community.
Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact our emotional well-being and mental health. Often people tell me they have not felt comfortable discussing sexuality with other therapists and seek me out to explore issues of concern without judgement. As an accredited psychosexual therapist and mental health social worker I have worked for nearly 30 years supporting people to improve their sexual and interpersonal relationships, manage depression, anxiety, low self esteem, body image issues, sexual pleasure post trauma, grief, loss, communication difficulties and other concerns.

Nelly Uhlenkott
Psychotherapist, MA, AASW
Brunswick, VIC 3056
People come to see me for many different reasons, such as experiencing depression or anxiety; having relationship difficulties (with partners, family, friends, or colleagues); living with the impacts of trauma; going through major life transitions or loss; managing addictions; exploring aspects of sexuality; dealing with a harsh inner critic; or feeling "stuck”/lost and seeking direction, meaning, or purpose. I often work with individuals and relationship partners who are exploring, or currently navigating, non-monogamous (ENM/poly) relationships. While many of my clients identify as LGBTQIA+, I welcome clients of all backgrounds.

Brunswick, VIC 3056
Medicare rebates of $89
Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, behind on things, or like you’re working twice as hard just to keep up? I provide neuro-affirming counselling for adults with ADHD, with a particular interest in supporting women and LGBTIQA+ clients, including those diagnosed later in life. Many people I work with have spent years masking, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves to meet expectations, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand how your brain works, reconnect with your strengths, and develop practical ways to manage focus, emotional regulation, and everyday life.

Waitlist for new clients
My ideal client is someone navigating the complex terrain of neurodiversity or mental health challenges. They are adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, stress management, parenting support, or life transitions. Their goal is to live more authentically, to gain a better understanding and advocate for themselves in a world that often demands conformity. They seek not just to cope, but to thrive, using their strengths to create a life that is fulfilling and aligned with their values.

Mark Webb
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Brunswick, VIC 3056
I can process Medicare rebates ($145.25) and receipts for clients who wish to claim rebates from private health insurers.
Life can challenge even the most capable among us. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, despite your strengths, you’re not alone. I understand how hard it can be to reach out, especially when you’ve always been the one others rely on. As a Clinical Psychologist, I focus on two areas: men’s mental health and couples therapy. For men, the pressure to “hold it together” often leads to burnout, anxiety, or emotional shutdown. I’m drawn to couples who feel stuck either in repeated conflict or emotional distance. I work well in complex environments when there’s a fundamental willingness to engage in the process.
