Bookings
Appointments are scheduled through the Calendly app. A booking link will be sent to you once I have confirmed that I have availability to see you.
Once you receive the link, you are welcome to schedule sessions in advance if that feels helpful.
In the early stages of therapy — particularly when someone is feeling highly activated or in distress — weekly sessions are generally recommended. As the nervous system begins to stabilise, many people move to fortnightly sessions. You decide on the frequency of your sessions.
Monthly appointments are usually only appropriate once most of the therapeutic work has been completed, as longer gaps can interrupt the continuity of the process.
Medical Aid
We submit claims directly to medical aids.
My rate is usually slightly higher than standard medical-aid tariffs, and a small co-payment is often required.
Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB)
Where clinically indicated, we apply to medical aids for PMB funding.
Even on hospital plans, medical aids may authorise psychotherapy (as an alternative to hospital admission) for certain conditions such as depression or bipolar disorder.
Claims are submitted directly once approval is in place.
