Christian Psychology

Betterlife Directions is a Christian based organisation and our professional staff are influenced by their Christian faith. Like many Christian organisations we offer our services without discrimination to all. If you wish to discuss matters of faith during your session please let us know, and we will do our best to accomodate your requirements. We believe that emotional wellbeing is largely influence by the leading of a balanced lifestyle, and it is with this belief that the balance between your physical, social, psychological and spiritual wellbeing is considered during your session.

No referral is necessary. Your doctor, and other health professional may suggest and/or refer you for counselling but it is not necessary as self-referral is very common.

Absolutely! In fact we make the process of claiming through private health insurance easy.

All Betterlife Directions offices have HiCaps terminals installed, which means that all you need to do is swipe your health insurance membership card and pay the gap. We claim the rest of the session fee directly from your health insurer, meaning you don't have the worry of running around town, or waiting for your rebate.
