manage what matters

Mantle do not discriminate and will see anyone, but we are specifically a Men’s Mental Health Service and experts in male psychology – including straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer.

Mantle accepts rescheduling of appointments up to 1 hr prior if you contact us. If you are unable to attend, you need to let us know 24 hours prior, not 1 hour prior, or you will be billed for the time.

Mantle uses technology that is encrypted end-to-end. This means your session is 100% direct (peer-to-peer). All video, audio and screen share transmissions are protected with no digital footprint.

Yes – details of what you disclose remain between you and the psychologist you speak with. In the same way that a physical consultation at a clinic would.

A Mental Health Plan is a treatment strategy outlined on a simple document by a GP in consultation with you. It looks at your mental health needs and goals, then outlines treatment options and support services to reach those goals. Often, a Mental Health Plan is needed for you to qualify for subsidised treatment, i.e. to get a Medicare benefit. It might sound like a complicated process, but it’s as simple as making a booking with your GP and having your Mental Health Plan forwarded to [email protected] Once received, we will contact you and take care of the rest.

In some cases, the first step in accessing services for treatment of a Mental Health challenge will be a consultation with a General Practitioner (GP/ Doctor). Your GP can work with you to write a Mental Health Plan and refer you directly to Mantle. Email your Mental Health Plan to [email protected] and we’ll be in touch swiftly.

There’s no software needed. Just a computer, tablet or smartphone with a microphone, camera and speaker. It’s ideal to have an up to date browser, and 350kb/s min. internet connection (which is low). Test your speed at speedtest.net if you’re unsure.

In the unlikely event that your consultation stops due to technical reasons, we will try reconnecting with you, and failing that, we’ll reschedule your session.

It’s ideal that you’re in a quiet, comfortable, distraction-free environment. If you can’t remove yourself from home or work, options such as your car – where you can talk privately can work.

Mantle’s Psychologists have decades of experience, so yes – we can work with you directly on what’s going on with you.

Our Clinical Services are designed for treating and supporting traditional mental health related matters and suit those on a Mental Health Plan (MHP) as well as Men facing challenges like anxiety, depression, anger, or other lifestyle difficulties. Performance Coaching is ideal if you don’t want to specifically be ‘treated’, but prefer to be ‘coached’. You may feel you don’t have a ‘clinical’ issue, but have worries in your life, and wish to improve in specific areas that need attention. Do note this service is not executive coaching (Mantle don’t offer this service), although they may have similar elements. While accessing one of our services you may be better suited to one over the other. That’s okay, as it’s possible to easily switch between services.

Simply contact your GP and get them to forward your existing MHP to us at [email protected] All our staff are registered APHRA Psychologists, so regardless of whether you’ve just received a MHP from your GP, or require a new psychologist to take you to the next step, we’re here to help.

In Australia, while some GP’s still offer bulk billing services, other GP’s charge a standard fee on top of the Medicare rebate (which starts at $38.75 for a 10-20 minute appointment). Usually one GP consultation is all that’s required for an MHP, and it’s good to keep in mind that seeing your GP for a plan means you are potentially eligible for subsidised Medicare sessions with a Mantle psychologist.
