Liane Anderson

Liane Anderson trained as a psychologist at the University of Queensland, and has been practicing as a therapist for over two  decades. Alongside university Liane also has read and studied extensively and is passionate about understanding what makes people who they are and what helps to make life worth living. Liane has a special interest in assisting clients through acute and longstanding trauma, as well as anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, serious illness, and relationship issues (though not couples counselling). Liane also enjoys working with clients to shift longstanding, deep or hard to change roadblocks to their well being. While being more functional or less miserable is certainly an aim, Liane is more interested in assisting people to be more fully alive and thriving.
Liane works from Frankston (Near Monash University).  Parking is available.  Private health, WorkCover, TAC are catered for.  Those at a distance can be catered for with video or phone consults if needed. Liane works with adults and older teens and does not cater for children.
The Medicare rebate currently is $86.15 and can be claimed at the practice.

COVID-19
Due to physical distancing requirements and to limit any possible spread, appointments will be either by phone or video until further notice.  The video platform I am using is Coviu which is SECURE and stable. Click on THIS to be taken to information about how it works on your end. It does not require you to have any platform software or app installed. I send you an email invitation just before the appointment and you follow the prompts.
A back up video platform is Skype for those who prefer that however that is not as secure. I cannot use FaceTime.

You just need a good internet connection either via wifi , 4 or 5G. However, due to so many people working remotely (or at home watching Netflix etc) the internet and the platforms are under stress and at times will falter or fail. If this happens we will switch to phone. Please be patient. Or you can choose to do phone anyway if you prefer that. You need to be somewhere private for the 50 minutes. This can be your car if there is nowhere in your house. You can also drive to somewhere private as long as you get mobile coverage there.  

Payment and Medicare will be processed as per normal by reception. 
​
If you are in financial hardship due to COVID-19, this can be catered for. 

If you live alone or are isolated at home from friends and family, be aware there are Facebook groups popping up that you can join to feel connected.  Creative options are surfacing every day via Instagram and other platforms. You can also form Whatsapp groups with friends to keep in contact and use Skype and Facetime if you have access to these options. They are all easy to set up and someone who is a bit tech savvy can talk you through it over the phone if needed. 
Remember we are all in this together and we will come through if we all help each other.  

If the coverage on any platform is getting to you, then stop watching or reading. You can get the main messages via reputable sources. Eg the ABC. Beware of viral videos and messages of dubious origin spreading panic and negative messages.
