Torgeir Solemdal

Hi, I’m Torgeir ("Tor-gear"). I am a clinical psychologist and I've spent two decades helping people navigate their most challenging moments - across universities, clinical settings, and private practice. I will understand you. I will understand what goes on for you, and what keeps you stuck - so together we can find a different path.

Cost

Eligible DVA clients (Gold Card) incur no out-of-pocket fees. All billing is managed directly with DVA. You must have a GP referral to access sessions. If you possess a DVA White Card, please consult the Department of Veteran Affairs to confirm eligibility for psychology services.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is strictly protected. Therapy is confidential and independent from defence command structures. However, there are some reporting requirements to your GP. We discuss confidentiality in our first session to answer any questions you might have.

Anywhere

You can access your session from anywhere. We use telehealth for our sessions. It is easy, secure and simple to use. You receive a link to your appointment at the time of booking. There are also in-person appointments available on the Gold Coast.
