Accessible Therapy
Low-Cost Clinic
Philosophy of Practice
“Accessible therapy for all — our student clinic offers affordable counselling in a safe and supportive space.”
We believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. Our Low-Cost Clinic offers affordable counselling with Masters-level students under the careful supervision of experienced therapists.
Each practitioner brings the same ethical standards and narrative approach as our experienced clinicians, at a reduced fee to make therapy more accessible.
The cost of each session is $60 inclusive of GST.

Meet the Practitioners
Low-Cost Clinic - Amanda Kemperman
Social Worker — currently completing a Master of Counselling (Behavioural Health) at Flinders University — Member of PACFA
“The ideas we hold shape how we see ourselves and experience the world around us. Together, we can explore these ideas with curiosity, making space for ideas that reflect your values and what matters most to you.”
Amanda is a Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s most difficult challenges. Throughout her career, she has worked with adults, young people, and parents navigating mental illness, child abuse, and family violence.
Currently completing a Master of Counselling (Behavioural Health), Amanda provides a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore what is happening in your life. She takes a curious and collaborative approach, inviting you to explore the ideas, beliefs, and ways of making sense of your experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and the world, and how these may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices.
Together, you will make sense of what may be keeping you feeling stuck or distressed, recognise your strengths, knowledge, and abilities, and develop practical ways to create meaningful, lasting change that reflects your values and what matters most to you.
