Question 1

Accepted Answer

Just to let my clients and future clients know there will be a fee increase – or should I say a return to my charges at the beginning of 2020 before COVID 19 hit us at the end of March, whereby I wanted to do the right thing and help everyone out. From Tuesday 6 th  April 2021 (after Easter) my charge will revert back to the pre COVID rate of $200.00.

I hope this is acceptable to you and we can continue to work together. FYI the cost set by the APS to see a Psychologist in Australia is $260.00 for a 50 minute session, a timeline that I very rarely stick to as you will well know!!
