    $193.99 per hour.

Areas of Experience
Georgie supports a range of presentations, including neurodivergence, anxiety, school refusal, emotional regulation, mood challenges in teenagers, and provides parent support. For full details of her clinical interests and approach, please see her About page.

Referral and Availability
Due to high demand, we recommend calling our clinic to check on Georgie’s current capacity before making a referral. New appointment spots typically open at the end of each school term for the following term. Please email referrals, including MHCP and relevant reports, to:
hello@adelaidehillscaftherapy.com.au

Children Under 9 Years
For clients under the age of 9, Georgie works primarily with parents/caregivers rather than directly with the child. In these cases, the MHCP should be in the parent or carer’s name. Alternatively, younger children can be referred to our counsellors and play therapists, who are
tertiary trained, registered mental health professionals and experienced in child-centred best practices. These practitioners offer evidence-based approaches and therapeutic strategies suited to young children; however, sessions with these practitioners are not currently eligible for
Medicare rebates.

Please contact our clinic for further information, availability, or to discuss the most appropriate referral pathways for your client. We value your partnership in supporting local children, adolescents, and families.
