Our psychologists invest significant time planning and preparing for your sessions, prioritising your appointment without overbooking, to devote the entire session time exclusively to you.

We kindly ask for your cooperation in confirming your appointments by responding to our SMS reminders for each session. This helps us manage our schedule effectively and extend our services to others in need.

Rescheduling and Cancellations

If you need to change or cancel an appointment, you must tell us early. This rule applies to all programs.

The rule: Tell us at least 2 full working days before your appointment. Weekends and public holidays don’t count as working days.

The easiest way to think about it:

Your appointment is on…Tell us by the end of…
MondayWednesday the week before
TuesdayThursday the week before
WednesdayFriday the week before
ThursdayMonday this week
FridayTuesday this week

If there is a public holiday in between, you need to tell us even earlier. Ask us if you’re not sure.

If you tell us too late or don’t attend your appointment, you will be charged the full session fee.

Voicemails outside business hours don’t count. You must speak to us during business hours.

Sick or Emergency

Call us as soon as you can during business hours. We may be able to switch you to a phone or online session so you don’t lose your spot. If you only call us once your session has started, the full fee applies.

Late Arrivals

Arriving on time for your appointments is important. If you are more than 20 minutes late, we cannot run the session — there isn’t enough time left for therapy to be effective. In these cases, the full session fee applies (see fee schedule above).
