Terms and Conditions

All information will be provided to you on paper at our first meeting, including how counselling works, your rights and what to do if you have a complaint.

In brief:

Confidentiality:

Everything that we discuss is kept completely confidential. According to NZCCA and NZAC guidelines, there is a limit to confidentiality when there is risk of harm to either you or someone else. We will discuss what this means in our first phone call and in our first session, so you can ask any questions you may still have about this.

Cancellation Policy:

I encourage you to attend all of your appointments as an investment into your wellbeing. After two missed appointments we may need to pause counselling until you are in a better position to be able to attend regularly.

Please contact me as far in advance as possible to change or cancel your appointment, or use the appointment calendar to make changes. Cancellations less than two hours prior to your appointment will incur the full fee amount.

Payment Policy:

If you are aged 18-25 I am pleased to offer you a reduced rate of $100 incl gst per hour.

If you are a current tertiary student, I am pleased to offer you a student rate of $90 incl gst per hour.

I will provide you with bank details for an online deposit, or you can pay in cash. I can issue you a receipt for your records. Payment can be made in advance and must be made within the week that the appointment occurs.

Safe Place Counselling is not a crisis service.

I am available for appointments, within the times shown on the appointment calendar. If you are experiencing distress and need urgent help, please contact the services listed here.
