Information for Referrers

About Samantha Duroska

I am a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing compassionate care to our local community and to clients Australia-wide via telehealth.

Originally from Germany, where I completed my clinical training, I feel very grateful to live in such a beautiful part of the world. I am regularly in awe of the people and nature that surrounds us in Bellingen.

In therapy, I draw from the principles of CBT while integrating Imagery Rescripting (IRRT) as an emotion-focused tool. This combination allows for emotional and trauma processing, as well as practicing self-compassion and self-soothing.

I believe that therapy should be straightforward rather than overly complicated, and that every individual can thrive with the right support.

I welcome clients aged 18 and over presenting with:

  • Trauma & Complex Trauma:

    CPTSD, physical or emotional abuse, childhood neglect, and developmental or attachment trauma

What makes a referral valid?

Following Medicare’s guideline, a valid referral should include the following:

  • Signed by hand and dated and contains either the practice address or provider number.

  • States an eligible diagnosis or symptoms (from the ICD -10 codes).

  • Patient’s date of birth and address.

  • The number of sessions the patient is being referred for, which under Better Access is a maximum of six sessions at a time.

  • States that a Mental Health Treatment Plan has been created.

  • Requests the provision of psychological treatment.
