However, a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan or specialist referral is required to claim Medicare rebates or access specific funding pathways. \n What does a \"neuro-affirming\" approach mean? + We view neurodivergence (like ADHD and Autism) as natural brain variations, not deficits. We focus on validating your experience and building support strategies aligned with your unique cognitive profile. \n I am interested in EMDR, but worried it will be overwhelming. What is the process? + EMDR is phased. We never jump into trauma processing immediately. We first focus on building safety and equipping you with practical emotional regulation and grounding skills. \n How many therapy sessions do I need? + The number of sessions varies based on your unique needs. We will discuss a tailored treatment plan and estimated timeframe during your initial consultation and review your progress regularly. <a href=\"https:\/\/breathe-n-smile.com\/en\/what-is-therapy\/\" style=\"color: #209cee; font-weight: 600;\">Learn more about our therapy approach \u2192<\/a> \n Can a psychologist write a certificate for university special consideration? + Yes. Following a clinical assessment, we can provide supporting documentation and certificates for university special consideration, workplace accommodations, or formal academic adjustments based on your psychological needs. \n I am a NDIS support coordinator, how can I refer a client? + You can refer self-managed or plan-managed NDIS participants directly via our online contact form or by emailing their referral details and plan goals to our administration team. <a href=\"https:\/\/breathe-n-smile.com\/en\/referrals\/\" style=\"color: #209cee; font-weight: 600;\">Visit our referrals page \u2192<\/a> <\/section>\n<section id=\"locations\" style=\"padding: 60px 0; background: #fff;\"> <h2 style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 40px;\">Our Clinic Locations & Contact<\/h2> <strong style=\"color: var(--primary);\">Phone:<\/strong> <a href=\"tel:0431828769\" style=\"text-decoration: none; color: inherit;\">0431 828 769<\/a> <strong style=\"color: var(--primary);\">Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:admin@breathe-n-smile.com\" style=\"text-decoration: none; color: inherit;\">admin@breathe-n-smile.com<\/a> \n <h3 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Essendon Psychology Clinic<\/h3> <p>82 Keilor Rd, Essendon North VIC 3041<\/p> <p style=\"font-size: 0.9em; color: #666;\"><em>Conveniently located with easy street parking and tram access.
