What happens next?
It can be a little daunting taking the first step of making a booking with a new therapist. To help this process for you, I have detailed what to expect after you make an enquiry or a booking.
Contact from Deeper Perspectives
After making a booking, I will contact you so I can get an idea of what you are wanting from our sessions, check that I am the right person for you, and answer any questions you may have.
You will receive a text from me, letting you know I have received your booking and make a time to discuss further. This discussion can be via phone call, text, or email, whichever you feel comfortable with.
Fill in Forms
After making contact with you, I will send you some forms to fill in. These need to be completed before our first session as it covers important things like consent, privacy, and your details. If you feel uncomfortable completing the forms online, or any other issues, I can provide paper copies.
Payment
First sessions are always pre-paid and the appointment is NOT confirmed unless payment has been received. After our first appointment, payment is taken at the end of the session by card or deducted from your account if we are working online.
First Appointment
You’ll receive a reminder text the day before your session, confirming the day and time of our session. Our first session is normally me getting to know you and your story, create rapport, and set goals together.
Future Appointments
Future appointments can be made at the end of our session or you can use the online booking system. Usually appointments are fortnightly but may be weekly or monthly, depending on how you are going.
It is important to be consistent with your therapy appointments in order to gain the most benefit. It is recommended to book at least 3 appointments ahead to ensure you secure your preferred time and not have too much gap between sessions.
Cancellation Policy
When an appointment is made, this is time reserved just for you.
Life can frequently get in the way of our plans and so care has been made to create a cancellation policy that allows flexibility but also ensure appointments and time is not wasted.
Communicating with me as soon as you think you will need to change or cancel an appointment, allows me to offer this time to others who may really need it.
48 Hours Before Appointment
Reminder text is sent. Appointment is now confirmed unless otherwise advised.
24 Hours Before Appointment
Appointments cancelled from here onwards will attract a $69 fee (50% of session cost).
No Show / No Contact
If the appointment is missed, the full fee will be charged and will need to be paid before the next scheduled appointment.
