Earth Element provides talk therapy and strategies to help you implement change; we do not diagnose disorders or prescribe medications.

How long will my appointment go for?

Initial consultations, standard and after-hours counselling appointments are all 50 minutes in duration.

Does Earth Element provide a Medicare or private health rebate?

Medicare or private health rebates are not available at Earth Element. Counsellors are unfortunately not covered by Medicare for counselling, and Earth Element is not registered for private health rebates.

What is Earth Element's cancellation policy?

Earth Element requires a minimum of 48hrs notice for cancellations or reschedules. This ensures that other clients in need don't miss out on appointment timeslots. The standard consultation fee of $130 applies to all appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice. A full consultation fee will be charged for non-attendance.

Where is Earth Element located?

At Geneva House - Level 1, Suite 4/32 Myers St, Geelong.

Enter Geneva House via the door closest to the left (you will see a ramp from the driveway leading to this door). Make your way up the two sets of stairs to your right. Once on the landing, follow the passage to your right and down the steps to the small waiting area. Your counsellor will meet you here at your allocated appointment time.

Does the room have disability access?

Earth Element is located on an upper level accessed via stairs. If you are unable to use stairs but would like to schedule an initial consultation to decide if Earth Element Counselling is right for you, schedule a telehealth appointment or please contact us directly using the "contact" button on our website to discuss alternative options.
