Have you ever noticed that emotions feel different in your first language?

That’s because your mother tongue isn’t just words — it’s where your feelings live. 💛

From love to grief, some emotions are simply easier to express in the language you grew up speaking.

At The Talk Shop, our multilingual psychologists help you speak from the heart — in Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Farsi, Gujarati, Kurdish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Spanish, and more. Because therapy should always feel like you.

Why Bulk Billed Psychology Sessions Are Rare

Accessing mental health support shouldn’t be a luxury.

But here’s the thing… the Medicare rebate hasn’t kept up with the real cost of psychological care — and that’s why fully bulk billed psychologist sessions are becoming harder to find across Melbourne.

The good news?
✅ There are affordable options available.
✅ Low-cost counselling with Provisional Psychologists
✅ WorkCover, NDIS, TAC & VOCAT funding pathways
✅ Flexible telehealth sessions to make access easier

Our latest blog breaks it all down clearly — so you can make informed choices about your care.
