  • We will email you with some electronic forms to complete, and after these are completed, you will receive your appointment confirmation.

  • During the appointment, you will typically discuss your current concerns and issues with your psychologist. I may ask you questions to gather more information about your situation and provide you with personalized treatment options.

  • Sessions are approximately 50 minutes in duration. Tania offers in person and telehealth consultations over a secure online video interface. Tania offers appointments on Tuesday, Friday and limited weekends.

  • The number and frequency of sessions will be determined through the assessment of a number of factors including: a) the severity of your concerns; b) if there are comorbidities; meaning if there may be a number of problems exist concurrently; c) how equipped, willing and able you are to implement strategies discussed during sessions.

    We do ask you to be agreeable to commit to at least 6 sessions.

  • The frequency of your appointments will depend on your individual needs and the treatment plan developed with you and your psychologist.

    Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may need less frequent appointments.

  • When you book, you will be asked to complete some short online questionnaires that assess your level of stress, anxiety and mood.

    In your first session, you will be asked questions so we can understand your current situation, and your past experiences. This will allow you and your psychologist to begin to consider treatment through a mutually agreeable plan.

  • You may be given information to read, or asked to try new strategies, or exercises after (or during) sessions. Implementing new strategies and new information can be challenging, but it is important attempt to be consistent to achieve maximum benefit. In session, time will be partially guided by the psychologist, supporting you to implement strategies, but also partially guided by you.

  • We understand that sometimes unexpected circumstances arise, and you may need to cancel your session. To ensure fairness and maintain our scheduling commitments, we have implemented the following cancellation policy:

    Cancellation with 48 Hours' Notice: If you cancel your session at least 48 hours in advance, there will be no charge, and you will receive a full refund of any fees paid.

    Cancellation within 24 Hours: If you cancel your session within 24 hours of the scheduled time, a cancellation fee will be applied. You will be responsible for paying 50% of the session fee as a cancellation charge.

    - The cancellation fee will be deducted from any refund that is due.
    - In case of a "no-show" or failure to provide any cancellation notice, the full session fee will be charged, and no refund will be provided.
