You can get face to face therapy at any of our three offices across Adelaide, these include Bedford Park (Flinders Medical Centre), Salisbury (John St) or Port Adelaide (Marryatt St).

You won’t need to wait for an appointment. Appointments can usually be scheduled for the next business day. A health professional is always available to talk to you on the day of your enquiry.

The inpatient program is subject to a waiting list but decisions to enter into the voluntary inpatient program are discussed at sessional visits with your health professional.

For the face to face high intensity program we recommend twelve face to face weekly therapy sessions however, we have found that some people show significant improvement or full recovery within four to five sessions. The number of sessions varies from person to person. For the phone based self-guided help program, we recommend five weekly phone-based sessions.

Both programs commence with a 90 minute initial assessment/screening. Sessions thereafter are approximately one hour in length.
