Practical Matters
What are the fees for therapy? What about cancellation fees?
As we said, we value transparency, so we have provided our fee structure for you in the Individual Psychotherapy page. Our attendance and cancellation policy states that any last-minute cancellation within 48 hours before the therapy session or no-shows (not showing up for the session), will be charged the full session amount. This is because our therapists have booked their time for your session, and cancelling last-minute would mean our therapists are left with an empty slot that can't be filled. We respect our clients' time as well, therefore if your therapist cancels within 48 hours before the session, you can receive a full refund.
What about the initial payment for the session? How do I pay?
As per our payment policy, we strive to respond to you as soon as possible after you book a slot. We require the full payment for the session within 48 hours of booking an appointment with us, so keep an eye out for our email! At the moment we use bank transfers, but we are working on increasing our payment options for you. Please let us know if you might be using another payment option, and we will try our best to assist you.
Do you provide after-hours crisis response?
Unfortunately, our therapists are not at capacity to respond to crisis situations after-hours, and Minda is not a crisis centre. However, we understand that sometimes crises occurs when least expected. We will provide you with resources for a crisis, such as numbers to call, coping skills, and more. Please inform us of your potential risk of crisis when you register with us here.
