Mindfulness practise helps us to disengage from being consumed and compelled by the question: What am I supposed to do now? Mindfulness practise involves simply identifying our body / felt response in the very moment of feeling confronted by a perceived threat. A perceived threat moment can be the blank-bored eyes of a seemingly disinterested child if you are a teacher or parent. It can be the rejecting stare of a lover or employer in flight. Mindfulness practise involves awareness of one’s body felt response in that perceived-threat moment without recourse to usefulness. It is just awareness for its own sake. Therefore, there is no judgement about relevance of the awareness consciously linking the awareness back to the question: what do I do now? Mindfulness creates a space for your unconscious sense of safety and common sense to inform action in that nothingness or no-agenda space.

Bulk Billing Psychologist & Bulk Billing Counselling Melbourne

John Bacash is a Bulk Billing Psychologist who offers Bulk Billing Counselling via Telehealth. Telehealth is available to clients because of COVID-19 restrictions. Introduced in 2020, it has become widespread in medical treatment. This means psychologists and clients don't need to take long trips to a medical clinic or a counselling centre to connect. Rural and regional clients and psychologists no longer need to spend in transit to meet. Travel is no longer a necessary factor in treating and receiving treatment. COVID-19 has catapulted the medical profession into the digital age.

There are pros and cons to telehealth. Some say the immediacy of in-person sessions adds to the quality of a session. When there is face-to-face contact, it is harder for us to hide our reactions from each other. However, this can be a good thing. Others say the degree of separation via telehealth allows for a more relaxed atmosphere in a session. Sometimes, people need to have defences and a place to hide til they are ready to open up.

There is greater privacy with telehealth than in-person sessions. There is no need to front up to a receptionist who is not medically trained and tell them you are there to see a psychologist while you are feeling like you are falling apart.

The psychologist is probably providing telehealth from their home, so they do not have to pay rent for an office, and they don't need to travel to that office by car or public transport. So, the psychologist is better positioned not to charge a gap fee for their services.

John Bacash views counselling as a community service. We are here professionally and primarily to help others. The government, through Medicare, funds psychological counselling to meet health needs in the community. It is an appropriate use of taxpayers' money. So John Bacash is happy to provide Bulk Billing Counselling as a Bulk Billing Psychologist Melbourne and Australia-wide.

John Bacash is a Counselling Psychologist offering Bulk Billing Psychologist services via Telehealth. He also provides in-person sessions as a Counselling Psychologist in Melbourne. So he blends in-person gap fee paying sessions in Melbourne with Bulk Billing sessions. This blend reduces client fees without compromising the quality of services and availability. Bulk billing means no cost to the client, no out-of-pocket expense, or upfront payment.

Individual & Couples Counselling Psychology Melbourne

John Bacash Psychologist

We need to hold that empty space. We need to hold that no-agenda space, a certain type of nothingness. We can do this by embracing openness and by accepting unknowing. Add to this faith in our mysterious, gifted and true selves. Then we discover spontaneity and creativity, rationality and love as one living experience.

John uses mindfulness approach for adjustment involving anxiety and depression, couples' conflict and life transition issues. He prioritises mindfully negotiating needs and vulnerabilities, values and goals as an approach to Couples Therapy. He normalises experience of depression and anxiety by processing possible solutions and options using non-judgemental awareness, Mindfulness.

John identifies our respective comfort zones and aversions, our predictable and unpredictable world views, our knowing and unknowing domains by using Jungian Type Psychology, the Enneagram and Raymond Cattell’s Sixteen Personality Factor Test. Together with non-judgemental awareness, Mindfulness, and Meditation these psychometrics assist in relationship counselling and individual counselling.

Finally, John is a strong believer in considering the question: ‘Why now?’ What is presented as the problem is often not the real reason a person decides to see a psychologist. A focus on timing can normalise our experience avoiding the need for labels, endless analysis of the past and pretentious predictions about the future, about what one should or should not do.
