What To Expect At Your Visit
I take a flexible approach to therapy, and am passionate about seeing the whole person rather than a diagnosis. My therapy style is empathic, open, and non-judgemental, and I am invested in helping people gain the most out of therapy. I offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help transform troubled relationships to happier, healthier relationships.
I have experience working in a variety of areas, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, panic disorders and anger. I draw on various
evidence-based therapeutic frameworks including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Interpersonal therapy (IPT)
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
-
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
-
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
-
Family Systems Therapy
My work is primarily with people 14 years and above, except in the case of family therapy. I am also a certified facilitator of Circle of Security Parenting Program.

Fees, Cancellations and Rebates
Psychology sessions are 50-60 minutes in duration.
The cost of a session is $230 (the recommended APS fee is $311 for a 40-60 minute consult).
I endeavour to keep my fee below this.
You may be able to access a rebate by asking your GP for a
Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). The Medicare Rebate is $96.65 leaving a gap of $133.35.
Most Private Health Funds provide rebates for Psychological session, depending on your level of cover. Contact your Health fund to find out how much they will cover for your sessions.
Unfortunately no bulk billing applies, however in some circumstances a concession rate will be considered.
Payment is made on the day of the session, and the Medicare rebate is processed and will be in your account within one to two days.
Cancellation fee of $100 applies where 24 hours notice is not given.
Who am I?
Cheryl Fairbairn
Medicare Provider No. 6120552Y
My background in complex trauma and mental health has increased my interest in an integrative approach to therapy. Quite often the symptom that brings people to therapy can provide a window to the real internal conflict which needs to be resolved. No problem is too big or too small and we only have our perspective to guide us. Our world view differs due to our individual differences (environment, nature/nurture).
I have included EMDR in my training as it is an evidenced based therapy assisting clients reprocess trauma they may have experienced, also assisting clients with depression and anxiety. Anxiety, depression and addictions can often be traced to childhood traumas which have been trapped, leading to psychological conflict.
My areas of interest include PTSD and Complex trauma, grief, addictions and Eating Disorders (bulimia and binge eating disorder) and anxiety and depression.
I have experience in couples counselling, implementing Gottman Relationship Therapy and training in Family Therapy, also offering Circle of Security Parenting Program.
