Humans Being Counselling 17 Glenferrie Road, Malvern, Victoria 3144

Welcome to Humans Being Counselling, located at 17 Glenferrie Road, Malvern, Australia. As an establishment focused on health and well-being, we strive to create a calming therapeutic environment that extends beyond the counseling room. From the moment you walk through our doors, you will be greeted with a sense of tranquility and serenity.

At Humans Being Counselling, we understand the importance of sensory stimulus in promoting relaxation and self-compassion. That's why we have incorporated elements such as lush greenery, soft furnishings, calm music, and warm herbal tea into our space. These evidence-based techniques not only aid in creating a sense of calm but also encourage clients to develop healthy coping strategies and soften any discomfort they may be experiencing.

Our dedicated team is committed to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall quality of life. With years of experience and specialized training, we are equipped to address a wide range of mental health concerns. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other challenge, we are here to provide the support and guidance you need.

We understand that the current COVID-19 lockdowns have brought unique challenges to home sharing. To assist you during these times, we have created a comprehensive guide to house-sharing during lockdowns, offering practical advice and strategies to navigate these difficult situations.

It's no secret that the demand for mental health providers has skyrocketed in recent times. However, many individuals are facing long waiting periods for appointments. At Humans Being Counselling, we strive to offer timely assistance, ensuring that you receive the support you need when you need it most.

In addition to our counseling services, we also offer sessions with a professional organizer who can help you reclaim your evenings and create a more organized and peaceful living space. Kirsty Farrugia, one of our closest mates, has had an amazing career across entrepreneurship, music, and mental health social work. Last year, she launched Humans Being, our counseling service.

During your initial session, our compassionate counselors will take the time to understand the nature of your difficulties. We ask a lot of questions to ensure your comfort and ease, reflecting our understanding of your challenges and seeking clarification to ensure we are on the same page. Together, we will develop a plan for improving your well-being and life circumstances, setting goals for therapy.

Please note that appointment availability may be limited, depending on the availability of our clinicians. We strive to keep our fees below the rate recommended by the Australian Psychological Society, which is currently $261 for a 50-minute session.

The amount you will be out-of-pocket when seeing a counselor depends on various factors. If you have a Mental Healthcare Plan, Medicare will rebate a substantial portion of each psychology session, ranging from $79 to $125.50. Additionally, if you have private health insurance with 'extras,' you may be entitled to a rebate. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to inquire about your entitlements or seeking a better quote from a health insurance comparison company if necessary.

Please be aware that we have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel your appointment within 24 hours, a full fee payment will be required.

Before your session, our practice manager will have a quick chat with you to understand your situation and concerns. Based on your needs, they will match you with the most appropriate clinician from our team. Feel free to read the bios of each clinician on our team page and let us know which one resonates with you the most.

Currently, we work with individuals aged 12 and above. For younger children, we often collaborate with parents to gain a better understanding of the situation and provide support through parenting strategies.

At Humans Being Counselling, we are committed to your well-being and are here to support you on your journey towards mental health and personal growth. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards a happier and healthier life.
