Here are some answers to common questions asked by prospective or existing clients of Reflection Psychology Group’s clinics in McKinnon and Camberwell.
Sessions with a psychologist run for between 50-55 minutes. Sometimes however, your psychologist may suggest that an extra 30 minutes or a double counselling session would be useful in certain circumstances.
Expect to be made to feel as comfortable as possible in a very calm and private counselling environment. Our friendly reception team will ask you to complete some simple forms prior to the session. Your psychologist will then come out to meet you. The majority of the first session will be spent getting to know one another and having as many of your questions about the process answered by your therapist. If you can walk out of the first session feeling a connection with your psychologist, with them having a greater understanding of how they help you, you have had a good first session.

Whilst some issues can be resolved after just a few sessions other issues can sometimes be more complicated and deeply entrenched. Whilst our psychologists will attempt to help you overcome your issues as quickly as possible, they also do not believe in “band-aid therapy” or unsustainable quick fixes. We know that sometimes effectively overcoming a long-standing issue can take a lot more time but your psychologist will always discuss this with you based on your needs.
From an academic and professional perspective, there is a distinct difference between a counsellor and a psychologist. A psychologist must complete at least six years of training and becomes an expert in how people behave and the emotions that affect their behaviour. Training to become a counsellor can range from a course over a few days through to a Masters and focuses on helping people understand and change their lives. However, from a practical perspective, a psychologist counsels clients and, therefore, is often known as a counsellor. So, yes, there is a difference between a psychologist and a counsellor but we’re happy to be known as counsellors and for our clients to use our “counselling services”.
Clients must be comfortable with their psychologist and at Reflection Psychology Group we have a large team of vastly experienced psychologists across our clinics and within our team you will find a psychologist you are happy with and comfortable to work with.
Our counselling sessions and group sessions or classes are supported by Medicare when you have a referral, in the form of a Mental Health Care Plan, from your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. Eligible people can receive:
