Mermaid Waters Psychologist

Yes, and we’re closer than most people realise. Mermaid Waters and Clear Island Waters share the same postcode (4226), so we’re practically neighbours. Most clients from Mermaid Waters are with us in under five minutes by car, and there’s free onsite parking when you arrive.

No referral needed — you can book directly with us. If you want to access Medicare rebates on psychology sessions, you’ll need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP first. This involves a short appointment with your GP where they assess your mental health needs. Once you have a plan, rebates apply for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year.

We’re a private practice and fees vary depending on the type of appointment. Our full fee schedule is on our fees and FAQs page. Medicare rebates apply if you have a Mental Health Care Plan, which reduces your out-of-pocket cost. NDIS participants are welcome, and we also accept WorkCover referrals — contact us to talk through your situation before booking.

Book online through our website or call (07) 5651 6527. If you’d like a bit of guidance before committing — whether that’s about which psychologist might suit you, or what to expect from an initial session — just get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.

Start by getting in touch. You don’t need to have a diagnosis or a clear picture of what’s going on. A lot of families come to us after a long stretch of school struggles, behavioural concerns, or just a sense that something isn’t quite right. Dr Sophie Pitt works specifically with children and young people, and the first step is usually an initial appointment to understand the full picture before deciding on a direction.
