What the video says

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.

Told to wait months? You have another option

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:

Private appointment — no referral needed

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.

Medicare rebate pathway

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.

How we help

Evidence-based support for everyday struggles

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.

For GPs & referrers

Referring someone who needs care soon?

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.
