FAQ

• Is couples therapy covered by Medicare? No, couples therapy is not a Medicare-rebatable service in Australia. Any providers offering this should be approached with caution. It’s important to entrust something as vital as your relationship to qualified professionals.

• Does Catherine support individuals, or just couples? While Catherine specializes in couples and marriage therapy, she also supports individuals to live their best lives possible, offering personalised guidance and support.

The Relationship Health Test is paid for separately unless you choose a discounted package option, which includes the test along with additional savings on your sessions. All couples must complete this test before entering into marriage or realtionship counselling.

• Can private health funds provide rebates for couples counselling? Some private health funds offer small rebates, but the discount package options available through The Edge Counselling generally offer better value than private health rebates.

• What if I’m struggling financially? If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please reach out. We are open to discussing flexible arrangements to ensure you get the support you need.

• What’s involved in the Relationship Health Test before couples therapy? Before the first session, both partners will receive a questionnaire link via email, which takes about 30 minutes to complete.

This process saves time and money by offering clear insights right from the start.

• Private Health Rebates? What kind of discounts are available for couples counselling? Discounted package options include the Relationship Health Test and provide greater savings than any private health rebates.
