Psychological Assessments: Fee varies depending on cost of tests used, time taken to administer the assessments and time taken to interpret results and write the report. Please enquire for a quote.

Sessions that exceed standard session time will be charged extra on pro-rata basis.

Fee Reduction: I see a limited number of clients because of the nature of therapy work itself and so that everyone who chooses to work with me receives my full focus and attention. Therefore, I am only able to offer a limited number of slots at reduced session fees to those experiencing financial hardship. These slots fill up very quickly. Please email me if you would like to be accommodated at a lower fee slot or subscribe to notifications here to stay updated on slot availability.

If I am unable to accommodate your financial situation, I will provide you with referrals.

All sessions are scheduled by prior appointment only.

Currently, only online slots are available.

Working hours are 11:30 am to 1:30 pm & 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm Tuesdays to Saturdays. Please note that several of these slots may already be taken by current clients. I will inform you of slot availability when you reach out to me for an appointment.

You are responsible for coming to your session on time and at the time we have scheduled. If you are late, we will end on time and not run over into the next person’s session.

You are responsible for paying for your session at least 24 hours in advance to book a mutually agreed appointment slot. I reserve the right to offer the requested slot to someone else who might need it, in case the session fee has not been paid to block the slot.

I ask for a minimum of 2 business days notice for missed/ cancelled sessions, otherwise full session fee is payable. Refunds for sessions cancelled during this notice period will be processed within 5-7 business days. You are responsible for ensuring timely and clear communication for a missed/ cancelled session within this window period. I will, wherever possible, try to offer you an alternative time within the same week, to reschedule a session that you have had to miss or cancel. If this is not possible, you will be asked to pay the full fee for the missed/ cancelled session. The offer to reschedule does not apply to ‘no- shows’ and cancellations at less than 24 hours' notice. This is standard practice in the field, and takes into account that you are not just paying for services rendered, but reserving a time slot which I will not be able to offer to someone else who might need it, on short notice.

There will be a 10% increase in standard fee rates at the completion of every year from the date of the first therapy session.

Confidentiality

With certain specific exceptions described below, you have the absolute right to the confidentiality of your therapy. I cannot and will not tell anyone else what you have told me, or even that you are in therapy with me without your prior written permission. I may legally speak to another health care provider or a member of your family about you without your prior consent, but I will not do so unless the situation is an emergency. I will always act so as to protect your privacy even if you do release me in writing to share information about you. You may direct me to share information with whomever you choose, and you can change your mind and revoke that permission at any time.

The following are legal exceptions to your right to confidentiality:

If I have good reason to believe that you will harm another person.
If I have good reason to believe that you are abusing or neglecting a child or vulnerable adult, or

if you give me information about someone else who is doing this.
If I believe that you are in imminent danger of harming yourself.
If you tell me of the behavior of another named health or mental health care provider that informs

me that this person has either (a) engaged in sexual contact with a patient, including yourself or (b) is impaired from practice in some manner by cognitive, emotional, behavioral, or health problems.
Young people aged 18 years and below wherein parents or guardians have the right to see or know what is put in their child's records.

I will further discuss the issue of confidentiality more in-depth in our first session.
