self & seasons psychology

Therapy for the seasons that reshape us: holding space for change, growth and motherhood

Welcome

Self & Seasons Psychology is a telehealth service based in Adelaide, South Australia, offering evidence-based psychological therapy across Australia.

Born from a deep respect for the significant life transitions —“seasons”— that we move through across our lives, Self & Seasons Psychology offers a supportive space to feel heard, understood, and gently re-empowered, from wherever you feel comfortable.

Behind Self & Seasons Psychology is Isadora Aldam: Clinical Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor. Isadora has experience across private, government, and not-for-profit settings. After starting a family of her own, she recognised (and experienced!) the changes in identity, relationships, life structure and purpose that can come with significant life transitions, and the importance of providing therapy that feels accessible, non-judgemental, warm and comfortable.

Sessions & fees

All therapy sessions are scheduled for 50 minutes and held via Zoom.

Brief intervention (a few sessions) and longer-term support are both welcomed.

Sessions can be accessed with or without a referral:

  • Without a referral (self-referred)

    • Simply contact us directly to book in

    • Sessions will cost the full fee ($200 per session)

  • With a GP referral (Mental Health Care Plan):

    • We offer sessions under Medicare’s Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative, which may reduce the cost of up to 10 sessions per calendar year. To access this, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.

    • With a Plan, you can receive back $145.25 per session (Medicare’s fixed rebate for Clinical Psychologists). You will be required to pay the remaining ‘gap fee’ of $54.75 per session.

    • Please visit your GP to complete a Mental Health Care Plan, and have them fax it directly to us (fax number: 61871185334).

If you have private health cover, you may also be eligible for subsidised sessions. Please check your level of cover with your provider & mention this when contacting us.

Unfortunately we are unable to offer bulk-billed sessions.
