We know that the normal Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm is not always an option for people, so have options outside of those hours. Please contact us for availability of these appointments.
One of the biggest reasons we wanted to start this practice was to help with the long waitlists in our local area.
We will always have irregular appointments available for those needing to start their therapy journey immediately, while waiting for a regular session to become available.
Wait times for psychometric assessment appointments are kept to a minimum but can vary throughout the year.
