At Marcus Ross Counselling, I aim to keep counselling both professional and accessible.
Support is available through online counselling across Australia, with in-person counselling coming soon in Ballarat.
Standard Session
Individual Counselling (50 minutes)
$140 per session
This is the standard fee for all counselling sessions.
Sessions provide a safe, confidential space to explore what’s going on in your life, gain clarity, and work towards practical change.
Concession Rate
Individual Counselling (50 minutes)
$120 per session
A reduced rate is available for:
- Health Care Card holders

This is offered to help make counselling more accessible for those experiencing financial pressure.
Free 20-Minute Connect Call
$0
I offer a free 20-minute Connect Call for new clients.
This is a relaxed conversation where you can:
- Ask questions about counselling
- Share a little about what’s going on
- See whether working together feels like the right fit
No pressure. No obligation.
Important Information About Medicare
You do not need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) to attend counselling sessions.
Unfortunately, Medicare rebates are not available for sessions at Marcus Ross Counselling.
However, our fees are set to be comparable with the typical out-of-pocket “gap fee” that many clients pay when seeing a psychologist under a Mental Health Care Plan (which is generally capped at 10 subsidised sessions per year).
This means you can access counselling:
- Without needing a GP referral
- Without waiting lists
- With flexible appointment options
- With full privacy and confidentiality
Payment Information
Payment is required at the time of session.
Details for payment will be provided when booking
Cancellation Policy
I understand that life can be unpredictable.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice.
Late cancellations or missed appointments may be charged at the full session fee.
Private and Confidential Support
All sessions are strictly confidential in line with professional counselling standards and ethical guidelines.
