We understand that finding the right psychologist can be challenging. That's why we encourage you to explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about our counseling services and what we can offer you. If you have any unanswered questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your mental health.

It's important to understand the difference between a psychologist, psychiatrist, and counselor. A psychologist, like Ruane J. Lipkie, has undergone a minimum of six years of university training to provide empirically validated and proven therapy. They are members of a registration board and are continuously developing their skills under the board's supervision. On the other hand, a psychiatrist primarily treats patients with medication and holds a medical degree. A counselor, although valuable, does not have a registration board and is not held to external performance standards. Please note that Medicare rebates are not available for a counselor's services.
At A Life Logic, we are a registered provider with Medicare, making our services accessible to a wider range of individuals. Our standard fee for counseling sessions is $175 (means tested), and rebates are available from Medicare. For more detailed information about our fees, please visit our Fees page.
Confidentiality is of utmost importance to us. All counseling services are treated as private and confidential, and the information gathered during your sessions is solely for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment purposes. As outlined by the APS Code of Ethics, limitations to confidentiality only apply in cases where there is an immediate or specified risk of harm to someone's safety or if a client's file is subpoenaed by a court of law.
To book a counseling session, please fill out the form below, and we will respond to you as soon as possible. Please note that appointment requests are subject to availability, so we encourage you to reach out to us promptly.
At A Life Logic, we are dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and find happiness. Let us be your partner on this journey towards personal growth and well-being.

Reviews
"My partner and I sought Ruane’s relationship counselling a few months ago, and she has been instrumental in helping us identify our personality differences, and their ripple effects into our relationship. Not only has this helped us in becoming more accepting of each other’s natural traits, but she helped us tackle large gaps in our behaviour keeping in mind these differences in personalities. I have personally recommended Ruane’s services to friends, and do not hesitate to recommend her to others."
"I had several sessions with Ruane & I found she spent the majority of the session taking about different patients stories or herself. I would be lucky to get 5 minutes at the end of a session to talk. I wish I had read the reviews on here prior to becoming a client, as I can see Ruane shames people that give low scores by mentioning private information which is both unprofessional & unethical."
"I saw Ruane as a student when I was going through a period of emotional turmoil and difficulty. As another reviewer has said, she spent a lot of time taking about herself (at the time, her new diet, weight loss advice for some reason? I hadn’t asked for this advice) but as this was the first psychologist I had seen, I thought this was the norm. It felt difficult opening up to her because I didn’t feel like she listened, everything I said was redirected back to herself, and eventually I just stopped telling her about my struggles. Her sessions were also very expensive from what I recall (in excess of $150) and I felt very stressed about the money that I was spending on these sessions. After a while I tried to start seeing her less but she was very reluctant to let me and kept trying to convince me to come weekly or at least every two weeks otherwise my ‘progress’ would be lost. At the time I was also struggling alot with sleep due to my anxiety and she tried to sell me some very expensive naturopathic sleep powder from a friend I think. I didn’t feel that it helped unfortunately. My new psychologist is lovely and helped to give a name to thought processes like catastrophising (and also how to interrupt and challenge these thoughts) which I found much more helpful."
"Ruane is a caring, empathetic and intelligent woman who cares a lot about her clients. During my time with her, she has gone above and beyond with my therapy. She has helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. The world needs more people like Ruane."
"I began seeing Ruane in June of this year during a difficult, unforeseen phase in my life and it has been one of the best decisions I made for myself and my personal self-healing journey. Thanks to Ruane I have come a long way since then and continue to improve with each session. Ruane is professional and knowledgable but also compassionate and understanding towards her clients - she has helped me immensely and I would recommend her services to anyone who may be struggling, considering seeking professional help or wishing to make positive changes in their lives. I have sought help through other therapists and Ruane has stood out among them with her ongoing advice and support."
