Do I have to turn on my camera and microphone for online sessions?

Yes, I require all clients to have their camera and microphone turned on during online counselling sessions. This is to ensure your safety, support effective communication, and allow me to provide the best possible care. Being able to see and hear each other helps me respond to your needs and observe important non-verbal cues.

This requirement is in line with professional guidelines from the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), which recommend video-based sessions for safety and quality. If you have concerns or technical difficulties, please let me know before your session so we can discuss possible solutions or alternative arrangements.

Your privacy and comfort are important to me. If you have specific needs or questions about this policy, please contact me to discuss your situation.

How are your mindful movement sessions different?

I am a qualified instructor and provide individualised treatment plans. You can see me for any specific health conditions for rehabilitation purposes and the exercises are tailored to your needs. I provide these sessions in-person at a location of your choice i.e. your home in Melbourne, Australia or online via Google Meets. I have provided sessions for pregnant women, conditions that restrict your movement such as shoulder / back injuries, improving strength, flexibility and balance. Each session is tailored to your needs and ability.

How do I make a payment after booking a session?

Payments are required to be made by bank transfer or PAYiD prior to attending the session.

What is your cancellation policy?

48 hours notice is required to change or cancel an appointment. If less than 48 hours notice is given– the full fee will be charged.
