FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I NEED A REFERRAL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
No, you don't need a referral. We are happy to work with self-referred clients. If you would like us to liaise with your GP or any other professionals involved in your care, you are welcome to provide a referral letter outlining any relevant information, however, this is not necessary as Stephanie currently only works with Private clients in both the UK and Australia.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
This will vary depending upon your reason for seeking therapy. Some clients will benefit from a short-course of structured skills-focused interventions, whilst others will require longer-term support.
On average, most clients will require at least 6-15 sessions to see improvements, however, this can vary substantially. Some clients may feel 6 sessions is enough, whilst other clients may attend regular sessions for many years.
DO YOU PROVIDE SERVICES TO WORKCOVER, INSURANCE, OR NDIS CLIENTS? AND DO YOU PROVIDE INSURANCE OR COURT REPORTS?
Unfortunately, at the present time, we do not accept any Workcover, Insurance, or other third party payments. If you are a self-managed NDIS client we may still be able to assist!
We do not provide any court reports, insurance reports, or any other assessments or reports intended for 3rd party use.
WILL WHAT I DISCUSS REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL?
In general, absolutely! We understand many people are concerned about sharing deeply personal things and what the ramifications of that may be. We honour and respect this need for privacy and confidentiality and hold it in the upmost regard.
There are some times when confidentiality may need to be broken, such as if there is an imminent risk of harm to yourself or someone else, but these limits will be discussed with you in your first session and you will be given the opportunity to clarify any concerns you may have.
CAN I BOOK IN TO SEE STEPHANIE IF I AM A PREVIOUS CLIENT WHO HAS SEEN HER IN ANOTHER SETTING?
Absolutely! Every client has the right to choose their treating psychologist, and Stephanie welcomes the chance to continue working with those who may have developed a prior therapeutic relationship in another setting. If you have come across this website and would like to reconnect with Stephanie, please don’t hesitate to reach out! If you are based in Australia, please be aware Stephanie has relocated to the UK, and thus all sessions for Australian clients are held via zoom, between 5.30-9.30pm (Sydney Time). Stephanie is also no longer able to offer medicare rebates whilst not residing on Australian soil.
