Appointments are scheduled in advance.

Sessions run for 50 minutes and begin and finish at the scheduled time.

New topics raised at the end of a session are usually carried over to the next appointment.

Session times cannot usually be extended.

If you arrive early, you may be asked to wait until your appointment time.

If you arrive late, the session will still finish at the scheduled time.

Contact between sessions is generally limited to administrative matters. Therapeutic support is provided during scheduled appointments.

If we happen to see each other in public, I will not initiate contact in order to protect your privacy. If you choose to acknowledge me first, I will respond briefly, but I will not engage in conversation about therapy outside of scheduled appointments.

Your privacy and confidentiality are taken seriously.

Information is handled in accordance with Australian privacy legislation.

Further detail is available in the Privacy Policy.
