THE UNORTHODOX COUNSELLOR GUIDELINES
It is very important to me that you feel comfortable and whenever possible to indicate when you are not, unless you are choosing to explore an area that is uncomfortable and, therefore, wish to do so.
Everything that transpires will be in the strictest of confidence. The exceptions are supervision, safety and third party interests. I get Supervision to maintain the quality of my practice; also strictly confidential. If you are unable to guarantee your, or your children’s, safety I am morally and legally bound to act. If your counselling is paid for by an organisation they are able to request relevant information, intimate details excluded.
Sessions usually last between an hour and two hours, I do not give permission for any taping on phones in session.
Sessions cost $130. GST Inc per hour for individuals and $160 Gst inc for couples.
PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY to avoid disappointment:
Payment must be made at the end of the session UNLESS PREVIOUSLY ARRANGED in order not to attract a $20 administration fee. 48 HOURS NOTICE must be given for change or cancellation of appointment OR THE TIME ALLOCATED WILL BE CHARGED. If you come to your appointment late time allocated can be cut short if time has been given to another party after your appointment.
An initial agreement is put in place to contact life line which is a 24 hour crises help line. If for any reason you feel you cannot garantee your safety or the safety of others. The contact number is 13 11 14. Please understand my number is switched off after hours and it is not to be used as a emergency line. Please call the police if you feel unsafe or feel anyone’s safety is questionable.
I avoid my business phone on a weekend and after hours. Monday to Friday 9:00 am - 5:30 m are office hours. I will get back to you when I am able to during office hours.
