Do I need to speak English to use The Talk Shop?

No. Sessions with our Filipino-speaking psychologists are conducted in Filipino. You do not need any English at all.

Is what I share in sessions kept confidential?

Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is strictly confidential under Australian law and the Australian Psychological Society Code of Ethics. The only exceptions are where there is serious risk of harm — your psychologist will explain these limits at your first appointment.

Does Medicare cover psychology sessions conducted in Filipino?

Yes. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, Medicare rebates apply regardless of the language your session is conducted in. Up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year are covered, with rebates processed same-day or next day.

Can I see a psychologist via Telehealth in Filipino?

Yes. Telehealth sessions in Filipino are available from anywhere in Australia. This is particularly useful if you are not located near one of our Melbourne clinics.

You can book online at thetalkshop.com.au/book or call 1300 224 665. Just let us know you'd prefer a session in Filipino and we'll match you with an available clinician.
