You don't have to explain yourself here.
Therapists who understand because they’ve lived it too.
Deep-specialisation therapy for people and relationships where lived experience and advanced training actually match your situation. We work with LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, kink-aware and neurodivergent clients every day. It’s not a niche we accommodate. It’s the practice we were built to be.

Before you reach out
Everything else — fees, rebates, session formats, what first sessions are like — is one quick message away.
How do I get started?
Send a short enquiry through the website, or call or SMS 0480 706 922. Our practice manager replies within one business day with suggested therapists and available times. You can also book a free 15-minute fit call with a therapist before committing to a full session.
How much does therapy cost?
Individual sessions are $235 to $285 depending on your therapist's registration, and relationship sessions are $355 (two people) or $410 (three or more), with concession rates available. Medicare rebates apply with our psychologist, clinical psychologist, and mental health social worker. NDIS clients are welcome.
Do you offer Medicare rebates?
Yes — with a valid referral and Mental Health Care Plan, Medicare rebates are available for sessions with our psychologist (rebate $101.55), clinical psychologist (rebate $149.05), and accredited mental health social worker (rebate $89.50). Counselling and psychotherapy sessions are private-fee.
Can I do sessions online?
Yes. Most of our sessions are telehealth, available anywhere in Australia. In-person sessions run six days a week at our wheelchair-accessible office at 3 York Place, Carlton.
What if my relationship has more than two people?
We routinely work with polyamorous and multi-partner relationship structures. Sessions for three or more participants run 75 minutes, and our therapists are experienced in non-monogamous dynamics — you will not need to explain the basics.
Is Unison a crisis service?
No. Unison is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in immediate danger call 000, or contact Lifeline 24/7 on 13 11 14.
