SESSIONS

Sessions typically last between 50-55 minutes. The course of therapy itself is ultimately determined by the client and their needs. It can be embarked upon as a short, medium, or long term pursuit.  

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is of utmost importance and I ensure your privacy is protected. Please be advised that under Victoria law and my registration body, it is a requirement that I keep client documentation for seven years. These files will be kept in a locked filing cabinet or in a password protected computer-based file. Files are not protected from courts under Victorian law and therefore must be made available if subpoenaed. I may have to notify appropriate authorities or support service organizations if significant risk to yourself, or others is identified. All other communication will be done in consultation with you and only after direct consent has been given.

COSTS
