GP Referrals

Partnering with GPs for Practical, Short-Term Mental Health Support

Why GPs Refer to Bridge to Balance:

Short-Term Focus: Targeted support (trauma, grief, anxiety, crisis) without committing patients to long-term therapy.

Fast Access: No waiting lists. Clients are seen promptly. Can be held before seeing a psychologist.

No Diagnosis Required: Clients don’t need a Mental Health Care Plan to access support.

Affordable: No out-of-pocket confusion. We explain our pricing against Medicare and the rebates and how it can be more cost effective to see a counsellor, long term.

Practical Tools & Strategies: Focused on building capacity and real-life coping skills.

Flexible Delivery: In-person and Telehealth options available.

How I Work with GPs:

You refer directly—no paperwork or eligibility hoops. I keep communication open and professional (with client consent). Ideal for clients with stress, burnout, or mild-moderate distress who need practical help fast.
