The First Session
For your first session, it is always recommended that you arrive approximately 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment so that you have adequate time to fill out the forms and settle in.
It is very common to feel a bit uncertain, awkward or a little lost in your first session especially if you have never seen a psychologist before; hence it is always good to be as open and transparent as possible, and ask as many questions as needed. In your first session, it is a normal consultation process for your practitioner to gain a brief understanding of your background and present situation, the reasons why your came to therapy and what your goals and objectives might be, what your existing symptoms are and what your current priorities are in therapy.
It is also essential for you to understand that the first step you make in coming to therapy does not cement your commitment to continuing with therapy. One of the goals in therapy is to understand what is best and most comfortable for you, and working towards that together with you. Therapy is not for patient / client retention purposes but knowing that your progress is our priority.
Subsequent Sessions
Each subsequent session aims in moving you towards a more positive and wholesome lifestyle and being able to achieve the objectives and goals that you aimed to accomplish when you first started in therapy. Throughout the therapeutic process, you will gain new and different perspectives as well as sustainable techniques in which you are able to apply to various challenges. The aim in therapy is to assist you in building a stronger sense of self-worth and to allow you to independently apply these tools that you have learnt in therapy to be self-sustainable, and to be better-equipped in handling future life-stressors and to build an overall better general sense of well-being.
Cancellations or Postponements
We are committed to providing all our patients with exceptional quality care. When a patient cancels without providing ample notice, they hinder another from being seen. Therefore we politely ask that if you need to cancel or to postpone a scheduled appointment, please provide us with a 24 hour notice period to allow us the opportunity to reallocate your appointment to someone else who needs it.
Failure to do so will result in cancellation charges. We understand that unexpected events can come up from time to time but unfortunately we are unable to absorb the financial responsibility of missed or last minute cancelled appointments.
