Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about therapy, my approach, and what to expect when working together. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out.
Our first session is a time to get to know each other. You’ll share what brought you to therapy, and I’ll ask questions to understand your experiences and goals better. There’s no pressure to share everything right away — we’ll go at your pace and build trust step by step.
My fee is R1190 per 50-minute session, which applies to both individual sessions and initial consultations with families. I do offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who need financial assistance, though these slots are often full.
Yes, I offer secure online therapy sessions, allowing you to connect from home or wherever you feel comfortable. Virtual sessions can be as effective as in-person work and offer flexibility to suit your schedule. Where possible, I prefer to meet face-to-face for the initial consultation, after which we can transition to online sessions if that feels right for you.
Yes — if your plan allows, you can usually claim sessions from your medical savings or risk benefits, where applicable. I am registered with most major medical aid providers, including Discovery, Profmed, Medscheme, and Metropolitan Health Group. We can also assist with applications for Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB) if relevant. Please note that the first two sessions are payable upfront; you can then submit them to your medical aid for reimbursement.
The length of therapy really depends on your goals and what brings you to therapy. Some people come for a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others find value in longer-term work. We’ll regularly review your progress together and decide on the pace and duration that feel right for you.
Yes, I am registered with Discovery Health as a Designated Service Provider (DSP) and also on their Mental Health Care Programme. This programme provides additional mental health benefits beyond your standard plan. Eligibility and coverage depend on your specific plan and condition, and I’m happy to guide you through the process.
PMBs are legally required treatments your medical scheme must cover in full for certain conditions. We will only assist with PMB applications when your diagnosis clearly qualifies and it’s clinically appropriate.
