Appointments & Bookings
Appointments and Booking Procedures
Appointments may be requested via Reception, Email, or WhatsApp. Confirmation will be sent within one business day; without confirmation, the appointment is not secured. Sessions are 50 minutes in duration. Adolescent clients are required to commit to a minimum of six sessions to ensure a comprehensive and effective therapeutic process. This commitment allows for a structured approach that includes the following stages:
Parent Intake Meeting:
This initial meeting involves the parent/s or guardians and Kerry-Jane. During this session, Kerry-Jane will gather an overview of the concerns, family history, and any relevant background information. Consent for treatment will be obtained, and the goals for therapy will be discussed and set.
Initial Adolescent Session:
The first session with the adolescent client focuses on building rapport and trust between Kerry-Jane and the adolescent. Kerry-Jane will assess the presenting issues, gather information about the adolescent's perspective, and begin formulating a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Continued Individual/Family Sessions (5 sessions):
These sessions involve targeted interventions using evidence-based approaches. Kerry-Jane will work with the adolescent individually and may also involve family members as needed. The focus will be on addressing the identified issues, implementing therapeutic techniques, and monitoring progress. Ongoing assessment will be conducted to ensure that the treatment plan remains effective and relevant.
Feedback Meeting:
The final session in the initial commitment period is a feedback meeting. During this session, Kerry-Jane will review the progress made, discuss the findings, and collaboratively plan the next steps with the adolescent and their parents. This may include recommendations for further therapy, additional support, or other interventions as needed.
This structured approach ensures that the adolescent receives consistent support and that Kerry-Jane can effectively monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan, which is crucial for achieving positive therapeutic outcomes.
Therapy Commitments
Short-term therapy commitments typically range from eight to twelve sessions, tailored to meet the specific needs of the adolescent and family. This extended commitment suits adolescents seeking deeper exploration or support for more complex challenges. It also allows for a more in-depth exploration of issues and the implementation of longer-term strategies to support the adolescent’s well-being.
Payment:
Payment is due at the time of the consultation. Non-payment will result in the suspension of further therapy sessions until payment is made. Telephonic consultations longer than 10 minutes are subject to additional charges. Appointments not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance will be charged in full. Missed sessions and late cancellations are not reimbursable by medical aids. For appointments on Monday, notice must be received by 16:00 on the preceding Friday.
