What can I expect from the first appointment?
- In your first session, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and any concerns you have. This is your time to share your story at your own pace. We’ll also review confidentiality, answer your questions, and explore how we can best support you.
How long is each session?
- Each session lasts 50 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
- This depends on your individual circumstances. Weekly or fortnightly sessions are recommended initially to build trust and momentum. Over time, session frequency can be adjusted to suit your needs.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
- We kindly request at least one full business day’s notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Without adequate notice, the full session fee may apply unless there’s a valid reason.
What about emergency support?
- We operate during standard business hours and are not an emergency service. For immediate support, please contact:
- Emergency Services (Police, Fire, Ambulance): 000
- Lifeline: 13 11 14
- Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800 (for young people up to 25)
What are the costs?
- Online or Phone Sessions : $ 120
- Walk-and-Talk Sessions : $ 140
What languages do you offer therapy in?
- I provide therapy in English, Gujarati, and Hindi, ensuring culturally responsive care. I also have a strong understanding of Marathi, with semi-fluency in spoken communication, allowing for deeper engagement with diverse communities.
