Our program is designed for people who have seen a GP for depression or anxiety and who are waiting to see a psychologist. An understanding of your condition, skill building and early engagement is key to your success; we are here to get the ball rolling.

We know many people may have had a negative experience seeking support - left feeling dismissed, judged or without practical guidance. Before we get into the nitty-gritty of psychological skill-building, we go back and give you the foundational knowledge we wish everyone started off with. Helping you make the changes needed to start feeling better ASAP is our goal. You don't require any prior knowledge; so, even if you are yet to see a GP, you can benefit from our program.

Great question. We don't want you to purchase this program if it won't benefit you! If you've connected with a wonderful GP and they've given you the lowdown on your symptoms, provided you with a comprehensive social and lifestyle management plan and commenced you on mental health skills training… you don't need us. If you've sought care from a psychologist, you won't need us either. We are aimed at people who would like to build introductory knowledge and skills.

Our program is 1.5 hours long, to be completed over a few days; we've designed it with a view to being easy, practical, and time-efficient... because we're all juggling life and carrying enough mental load. If you're looking for an in-depth analytical course that explores Freudian theory, we might not be the best fit. As experienced GPs, we know what our patients need to put their best foot forward and start feeling better ASAP. We are here to provide pragmatic general advice and easily implementable skills training with the aim to help you feel better.

Nope, Nada, No, definitely not... This program is not a substitute for the invaluable, personalised care provided by Australian General Practitioners. We understand that finding the right GP who truly connects with your mental health needs can be difficult. GPs often have limited time, and with increasing demand, accessing the support you want and need isn't always easy. That’s why Dr. Shiromi, who is passionate about mental health and wellbeing, developed this program. It’s designed to complement the care you receive from your GP, helping you build a strong foundation for long-term outcomes while you await your psychology appointment. Our program is here to enhance your journey, not replace the vital role of your GP.

Yes, for sure! Our program is designed and curated to work alongside Australian general practice and psychology providers. Actually, the feedback we’ve received from clinicians is great. They’ve found that patients who have completed our program are well-informed, knowledgeable, and have a skill set to help manage their symptoms while they wait for one-to-one care. This not only gives you a head start but often means that when you do walk into your psychology appointment, you are already engaged and doing all the things. You often present with some insight on how you came to feel, think, and behave the way you do, often with an understanding of your individual thought flaws and what needs work. We’re here to teach you the basics so you can jump into the deep end and work with your psychologist to start feeling better ASAP.

Yes absolutely, you can complete our program anonymously, in that we do not collect or disclose information pertaining to your personal mental or physical wellbeing. We understand that seeking help for mental health is not straightforward and can be associated with feelings of hesitancy, guilt, and failure… we have a lot of work to do as a society to help break the stigma. In the meantime, it’s our mission to ensure the provision of timely quality mental health care for all. Our program is self-directed. You’re looking at us through a screen in a didactic program format, we can’t see you! We don’t ask you questions or record answers like a traditional face-to-face medical consult and we don’t collect any information from the consolidating psychology skill building activities. We do collect basic information for enrolment and payment purposes, details of which can be found in our terms and conditions. 

Ok, here’s the low down. The whole program, 3 GP-led self-directed consults with supplementary PDFs and bonuses is a once off payment of $297 AU. That’s 1.5 hours of video consult material, time equivalent to 4 extended GP appointments. The cost to see a private billing GP for just one twenty-minute consult can be between $100- $200, often more to see a psychologist. That’s around $700 value before we even add in the bonuses!

You know what you are getting with us, we care, we’re not here to judge you and we are committed to getting you on the right path. We truly feel we are providing quality content and value. Our team is passionate about mental health and have worked hard to condense and pack in all the important stuff you need to start feeling better. Mental illness isn’t a choice, it’s not something you can fix by just wanting for it all to get better… it takes effort and skills. We’re here to guide you. You have access to the program for 60 days, plenty of time to complete it... but we are here to motivate and help you turn things around ASAP; we recommend you complete the program over a few days.
