About Me
About Me
Hi There. I'm Dr Lucy Coyne a Clinical Psychologist and Director of Discovery Psychology Services. I have been working as a psychologist for over 25 years. I completed my training at Griffith University and completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology. I am a Medicare provider (Clinical Psychology), a board certified supervisor and a Full Member of the Australian Psychological Society and the College of Clinical Psychologists.
I have worked in private practice in North Lakes for 11 years. Prior to this I worked for Queensland Health in services that provided assistance to adults, adolescents and children experiencing severe and complex mental health problems. I am available to work with people experiencing a range of life difficulties and also more complex mental health conditions. I have worked closely with the Australian Institute for Suicide Prevention (AISRAP). I believe in maintaining a strong connection with up-to-date research and do this by participating actively in the professional psychology community. I recently completed a 3 year core-training course in Intensive Short Term Psycho-dynamic Therapy. I have also trained in EMDR therapy.
I have a keen interest in nutrition as well as health psychology and integrative medicine approaches to wellness. In more recent years I have also become interested in mindfulness meditation and its benefits to mental health and application to eating disorders and the treatment of anxiety, depression and chronic pain. I also have developed a particular interest in the impact that nutrition and food on mental and physical health.
Fees
Fees
My fee is $215 per session. Sessions are scheduled for one hour and consist of a 50 minute appointment and 10 minutes I set aside to make notes. Please note that the APS recommended fee is $300 an hour. This expense is out of reach for many people who require assistance and my rates reflect this. A reduced fee of $185 applies for concession card holders or full-time students. Please note that this is not a bulk billing practice.
Clients who attend with a mental health care plan will receive a medicare rebate of $141.85 Clients may be eligible to receive a rebate through their private health fund.
Cancellation policy
When an appointment is booked, I reserve the whole hour especially for the client. Therefore failure to provide 24 hours notice to cancel or re-book an appointment will result in a $50 cancellation fee. This fee may be waived in the case of exceptional circumstances.
