A 1-hour counselling session, online or face to face, costs $150 including GST. If you’re thinking about booking your first appointment, you can also use the complimentary 10-minute enquiry call.

We accept credit card, debit card, bank transfer, and cash for our counselling services. To ensure a smooth scheduling process and minimise no-shows, we kindly request payment in advance of the appointment at least for the first appointment.

Please contact us as soon as you can if you need to cancel or reschedule. If you give 24 hours’ notice or more, no fee applies. With 0–24 hours’ notice, a 50% fee is payable. If something major comes up, we can look at it case by case. You can reach Marie on marie@mhmcounselling.com.au or 0421 425 169.

No. MHM Counselling sessions are not currently eligible for Medicare rebates, and private health rebates are not available at this time.

No. It is not required to have a referral from a GP or any other practitioners to book any alcohol addiction counselling sessions.

Your first session is a gentle starting point. You and your counsellor will talk about what brings you here, what you’d like to change, and what has or hasn’t helped before. It’s also a chance to ask questions, build trust, and decide on a way forward that feels right for you.

It’s different for everyone. Some people start with fortnightly sessions, then space them out as things feel more manageable. Others like the occasional booster session for extra support. You choose what fits your pace, and we’ll tailor the work around your goals.

A good fit usually feels calm, respectful, and easy enough to return to. If you’re looking for confidential support with your relationship with alcohol, and you want someone who understands both the practical and personal sides of change, MHM Counselling may be a helpful place to start. A first conversation can help you decide.

Yes — confidentiality is central to the way we work. What you share in session stays private, with the usual legal and safety exceptions. If you’d like to talk things through before booking, you’re welcome to use the complimentary 10-minute inquiry call first.

That uncertainty is often exactly why people reach out. You don’t need a label or a crisis to start a conversation. If you’ve been wondering whether alcohol is taking up more space in your life than you’d like, counselling can help you explore it gently and without judgement.

We do. You can choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for you — online or in-person. Some people like the ease of logging in from home, while others prefer sitting face-to-face. Either way, the support stays the same: calm, confidential, and focused on your goals.

We’re based in Myaree and also support people from Fremantle, Perth, and surrounding areas. If you’re looking for a confidential space to explore your relationship with alcohol, you’re welcome to connect with us whether you live nearby or prefer online counselling.

You can book by getting in touch directly to arrange your first appointment or a complimentary 10-minute inquiry call. If you’re unsure whether counselling feels right for you, the inquiry call is a gentle place to start — no pressure, just a chance to ask questions and see if we’re a good fit.

No — you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. You can come in unsure, curious, or somewhere in between. Counselling is a place to slow things down, look at your drinking with care, and explore what feels right for you, whether that’s moderation, a break, or stopping altogether.

There’s no set number, because your needs are personal. Some people want short-term support to get clear on their next steps, while others stay longer to work through patterns over time. You and your counsellor can review progress together and decide what pace feels right as you go.

Yes. Your goals can be about moderation, taking control back, or moving toward sobriety if that’s what you want. The focus is on what feels realistic and meaningful for you, not on forcing one path. Together, you can work out the support that best matches where you are right now.

Please get in touch as soon as you can if you need to change or cancel. We’ll do our best to help you reschedule, and this also gives us a chance to offer the appointment to someone else who may need it.
