For Referrers

This page is written for GPs, psychologists, credentialed mental health nurses and allied health professionals considering referring a patient to Mindscaper. If you're a prospective client, welcome — you might find this useful context too.

About Mindscaper

Mindscaper is a private Mental Health NP practice (Adelaide CBD + telehealth across SA). Built for patients who don't fit neatly into a single referral pathway — those who need integrated psychotherapy and medication management in one relationship, with one practitioner.

Who I work well with:

  • Complex and developmental trauma

  • Personality vulnerabilities

  • Neurodivergence with mental health co-morbidities

  • High-functioning but exhausted

  • Unexplained medical symptoms with psychological complexity

  • Addiction (especially where it intersects with trauma or neurodivergence)

  • Persistent suicidality and unrelenting crisis

If your patient has fallen through the gaps or needs something in between, I'd welcome the conversation.

A note on persistent suicidality:

These patterns make sense given the history. They're met with curiosity and understanding, not alarm. However, Mindscaper is a solo practice. If you have concerns about immediate or acute risk, email first at referrals@mindscaper.com.au so we can think together about fit and timing.

What Mindscaper offers:

  • Integrated psychotherapy + medication management (one practitioner, full picture)

  • Therapeutic grounding in IFS and DBT and Brainspotting +(EMDR 2026)

  • Neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, physiologically informed practice

  • 40 or 60-minute sessions

  • Face-to-face (Adelaide CBD) or telehealth

Medicare access:

Direct access—no GP Mental Health Care Plan required. No session cap. Out of pocket from $115 after rebates.

Where collaboration changes the picture:

Some presentations sit outside my standalone scope but welcome within a team framework:

  • Eating disorders: I'm open if a collaborative care team (dietitian, medical, psych support) is in place or being built

  • OCD: I provide integrated assessment and medication management. For high-intensity ERP or complex protocols, I refer to specialist OCD practitioners

  • Psychosis: Not a primary psychosis service. For acute or treatment-resistant presentations, I refer to tertiary psychiatry. However, for clinically stable patients seeking trauma-informed support, a collaborative conversation is welcome

What falls outside my scope:

  • Perinatal mental health (antenatal/postnatal)

  • Gambling disorders

  • Children and adolescents (adult practice, 18+)

  • Acute inpatient stabilisation

  • Forensic presentations or medico-legal work

A note on ADHD:

I'm not accepting new referrals for primary ADHD diagnostic assessments. However, I support ADHD management as part of genuine pathway planning with prescribers where stimulant initiation is indicated—so your patient isn't bounced around without support.

How to refer:

No referral form. No GP Mental Health Care Plan required.

Direct your patient to mindscaper.com.au to book. A brief email to referrals@mindscaper.com.au with context is welcome (but never a barrier).

Response time: Up to 7 business days. If your patient's urgency exceeds this, they likely need acute mental health services, Mental Health Triage, or emergency presentation.

Shared care:

Collaborative arrangements are genuinely welcome. With patient consent, I'll provide brief updates following initial assessment—just note this in your referral email.
