Summary

We’ll always do our best to fulfil your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong.

For circumstances where an initial discussion is not necessary we would expect you to provide us with enough information for us to give you an accurate assessment and therapy services.

If a session is cancelled by you less than 48 hours prior to the appointment, then 100% of the total cost will be payable.

If a session is cancelled by us at any time prior to the appointment we would refund 100% of the amount paid.

Initial discussion

Prior to any assessment we provide an initial discussion to ensure that we provide the most appropriate service and psychologist to meet the needs of the child or young person. The initial discussion lasts for an hour to an hour and a half and provides an opportunity for concerns, information and expectations to be shared with us. The initial discussion also includes the time for reviewing previous reports, creating an action plan and email correspondence.

Reports

We charge for reports. The price you pay will be dependent on the length of time the report takes, this will be agreed with you in advance. Costs for reports may be included in a quotation. If a report is subsequently requested following an assessment, or period of intervention, we will provide you with a quotation for the cost.

Reports are most valid when completed immediately following our input. We may be unable to provide comprehensive reports following any break in provision.

Changes and revisions

We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind about what input you would like us to provide. You can change your mind at any point with regards to the services you would like to receive. If you were to cancel services please see above with regards to how we treat cancellations.

Prior to working with you we will have sent you a quotation or costing. If you change your mind about what input you would like us we may provide you with an updated, or separate, quotation or costings.

Reports are based on our professional opinions. We are unable to change our professional opinions within a piece of work.

Sharing of information

Our consent form includes permission to share information with relevant professionals. Professionals usually include; education staff, GPs, therapists and other health professionals. Being able to share information supports a joined-up approach to support and knowledge.

For most services we charge based on consultations or an hourly rate of:

  1. RM200 for educational, clinical and counselling psychologists.
  2. RM220 for hypnotherapist.
  3. RM250 for psychiatrics consultations .
  4. RM150 hour for trainee psychologists and peer therapy.
  5. Travel charges for home visiting psychiatrist are calculated on an individual basis and included in quotations when necessary. (Usually its RM150 because our psychiatrist insist on driving his Porsche and we need to pay for that too). 

Pricing for service level agreements will be agreed individually with each setting. We offer therapy packages with discounted rate for anyone who needs more than four therapies.

Price promise

We are happy to discuss how we can match or better any existing provision you may be currently receiving. We do pay forward. Nobody should be hindered from the right attention and treatment because of financial issues. Talk to us and we will do our best.

Service level agreements

We provide schools and education settings looking for regular psychological input with service level agreements. Invoices for any services will be sent at the start of each school term.

A service level agreement will have it own bespoke terms and conditions.

We’ll carry out our services in accordance within the standards expected of a BSCH, GHSC for hypnotherapist and MSCP practitioner psychologist. Our trainee psychologists also work towards the MSCP standards and receive appropriate supervision from our team.

Insurance

We want you to be safe, but if anything goes wrong we want you to be covered as well as our therapist if you decided to release your stress against them. All our services are covered by medical malpractice insurance policies.

Hopefully you won’t need to access any of the above but it is good to know it is in place.
