Practice Policy

Welcome to Relational Home. Before we begin, here’s a brief overview of how I work and what to expect. By booking, you agree to these terms and the nature of this therapeutic setting. You don’t need a referral to see me.

Approach
My work is grounded in Gestalt Therapy — a relational, experiential approach that supports awareness of emotions, body, and patterns of relating. The focus is on what’s happening in the present moment to invite clarity, connection, and choice.

Credentials
I hold a Master’s in Gestalt Psychotherapy and maintain regular supervision and ongoing professional development.
PACFA Registered Counsellor (Registration No. 31718).

Ethics & Confidentiality
I follow the PACFA Code of Ethics, which ensures client care, confidentiality, and professional boundaries.
All information shared in sessions is treated as confidential. Exceptions apply only where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, abuse involving vulnerable people, or where disclosure is required by law. Wherever possible, I will discuss any necessary disclosures with you in advance.

Sessions & Cancellations

  • Fees are as stated on the booking page and are payable at or before the session.

  • 24-hour notice is required for cancellations; late cancellations may incur the full fee unless there are exceptional circumstances.

  • Sessions are expected to take place while sober and alert.

Communication & Emergencies
I respond to messages within one working day. This practice is not an emergency or crisis service.

About the Process
Therapy can bring insight and relief, but may also stir strong emotions. Change takes time and outcomes can’t be guaranteed — our work is a shared journey of awareness and growth.

Thank you for trusting me to support your process.
