What our clients say
5.0 on Google Reviews
The team at Pause made me feel completely at ease from my very first appointment. I finally feel like I have the tools to manage my anxiety.
Highly professional and deeply empathetic. The telehealth option has been a lifesaver for my busy schedule.
Finding a psychologist for my daughter was daunting, but Pause made the process so smooth. We've seen such positive changes.

Good questions
Frequently asked
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
No. You can contact us directly as a private paying client. If you'd like to claim a Medicare rebate, ask your GP for a Mental Health Care Plan.
How much does a session cost?
Fees vary by clinician and service type. Bulk billing is available for eligible clients — please contact reception for a detailed fee schedule.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. Secure video sessions are available across regional NSW for most services, with the same Medicare and NDIS rebates as in-person care.
Are you NDIS registered?
Yes — we provide therapeutic supports and specialist behaviour support for self-, plan- and NDIA-managed participants.
