You finally decide to talk to someone, and you’re told to wait months. At The Talk Shop, same-week psychology appointments are available, with low-cost private options and telehealth too. You don’t need a GP referral to book privately — ask our team which pathway fits. Appointments across Melbourne CBD, Mooroolbark, Brandon Park, Reservoir, and online. Starting the conversation sooner makes the next step clearer. If you’re ready to book, or you’re referring someone who needs care soon, talk to The Talk Shop.
The hardest part is often deciding to reach out. A long waitlist can stall the momentum it took real courage to build. We keep the next step simple:
Not sure which is right? That’s exactly what our team is here for — ask us and we’ll point you to the simplest way to get seen.
You can book directly with one of our psychologists without a GP referral. Private sessions are often the quickest way to be seen this week, with low-cost options available.
If you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your GP. Under Better Access you can access up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year on eligible sessions. We handle the paperwork, and can start you privately while your plan is arranged.
Choose a time that suits you, or call 1300 224 665 and we’ll find the soonest fit across our locations or telehealth.
Meet in person or online — often within the same week. No referral needed to begin privately.
Together you’ll map out the next steps, and if a Medicare pathway suits you, we’ll help set it up.
In-person appointments at four Melbourne locations, plus telehealth across Victoria.
Our AHPRA-registered psychologists work with adults across a range of common concerns, using evidence-based approaches matched to your goals — including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma and PTSD, sleep difficulties, life transitions, and self-esteem.
If you’re a GP or health professional with a client who shouldn’t be waiting months, we can help. Send a referral and our team will arrange the soonest available appointment, in person or via telehealth.
