ALEX FORT
clinical Psychologist.
Psychology that meets you where you’re at.
Meet Alex (she/her), our warm and incredibly skilled clinical psychologist. Alex is all about meeting you exactly where you’re at, whether you know exactly what you want to work through, or have absolutely no idea where to begin. Her approach is personable, thoughtful and supportive, creating a space where you can talk things through, unpack the hard stuff and be fully yourself while doing it.
With lived experience herself, Alex has a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ+ people and those still figuring out where they fit. She brings warmth, curiosity and zero assumptions to the therapy room, whether you’re exploring sexuality or identity, navigating coming out, or just wanting somewhere you don’t have to explain yourself before you can get started.
Alex values therapy as a collaborative process and takes the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, needs, and goals. She creates space for curiosity, reflection, and growth, without pressure, expectation, or rushing the process.
What ALEX supports.
Alex believes therapy should feel supportive, empowering, and tailored to each individual. She meets you where you’re at, offering a safe space to explore what’s happening in your life and how it’s affecting you, at a pace that feels right for you.
Working across all ages and stages from children to adults, Alex has a particular interest in supporting people through periods of change, challenge, and life transitions. This includes navigating adjustments in relationships, identity, family dynamics, work, health, and emotional wellbeing.
Her work is evidence-based and trauma-informed, guided by compassion and practical understanding. Alex helps even the hardest conversations feel lighter, safer, and more manageable, supporting clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence over time.
Alex draws from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:

Fees.

You do not need a doctor’s referral to see Alex privately. Please note that Medicare rebates are not available for private (self-referred) sessions.
To access Medicare rebates through the Australian Government’s Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative, you will need a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With an eligible MHCP, clients can receive a rebate of $149.05 per session for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
Clients are responsible for the full fee at the time of consultation, with Medicare rebates claimed after the appointment. Please email us your referral or relevant paperwork prior to your first session.
Psychological services are provided by registered psychologists in accordance with the Psychology Board of Australia’s professional standards and ethical guidelines.
Telehealth consultations are available Australia-wide. Service availability and eligibility may vary depending on location, practitioner type, and regulatory requirements.
The Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. (AAPi) recommend a fee of $318 for a standard consultation. To support greater access, Same Wellness sets fees below this recommendation where possible. Our fees are independently set based on the cost of delivering care and allow us to sustain our practice while continuing to provide high-quality support.
Medicare rebates may be available for eligible clients with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) prepared by a GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician. Eligibility and rebate amounts are set by Medicare and may change. Clients are responsible for the full fee at the time of consultation, after which Medicare rebates can be claimed.
You may be eligible for a Medicare benefit to subsidise this cost. Alex is a registered Medicare Provider to deliver psychological services, so you may be able to claim a Medicare rebate of $149.05 per session (leaving a gap payment out of pocket after Medicare benefit). Note: Session fee is to be provided in full by the client at the time of appointment, for which a Medicare benefit can subsequently be claimed (in most cases immediately following the appointment).
For you to be eligible for a Medicare rebate, a referral must be received directly from your treating doctor such as your General Practitioner (GP), Paediatrician or Psychiatrist with a current Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) prior to your first appointment. Your MHTP will require review typically after the 6th session; your treating doctor and psychologist will liaise to determine if additional sessions are required. Individuals may be able to access Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year (1 January to 31 December) under their MHTP.
