The practicalities....
AVAILABILITY I CONTACT ME I OFFICE HOURS I FEES I ZOOM I ADDRESS
CONTACT ME:
- Email me at brucemcnatty@gmail.com I aim to respond to emails within 2 working days.
- Phone 021-154-2034. I'm often busy with clients, so I may not answer. Feel free to text me, or leave a brief voice message.
- Confidentiality. No-one else will access your email or phone message, I attend to these personally.
AVAILABILITY FOR NEW CLIENTS - November/December 2024:
I have very few spaces available for new clients for the remainder of the year. Most evening appointments are now booked out, and I have a few day time spaces only.
APPOINTMENT HOURS:
Mondays: 10am - 6pm (last appointment at 5pm)
Tuesdays: 11am - 8pm (last appointment at 7pm)
Wednesdays: 9am - 5pm (last appointment at 4pm)
FEES:
- Fee per 50-minute session is slightly cheaper if paid on the day of your appointment. Payment via EFTPOS (debit, credit, etc) is preferred, as I don't keep cash/change on the premises. For Zoom appointments, fees are the same, and payment needs to be made via Direct Credit on the same day, if you wish to pay the lower fee.
- Couples & Families: $146-00 + GST = NZ$167-90 (or $151-00 + GST if you prefer an invoice to be emailed)
- Individuals: $133-00 + GST = NZ$152-50 (or $138-00 + GST if you would prefer an invoice to be emailed)
- Students/Young people living with parents: $126-00 + GST = NZ$144-90
- Community Services Card holders may be eligible for a Disability Allowance to cover the cost of sessions. Check on the WINZ website.
- Same day cancellations, or failure to turn up, means the appointment cannot be used by anyone else, so I'll need to charge you 75% of the regular session fee.
ZOOM APPOINTMENTS:
- Face to face therapy usually works better, however Zoom appointments are also available.
- If Zoom is your preference, let me know in advance, so that I can email you a registration form, which I'll need to have completed and returned to me prior to your first appointment.
- On the day, at the start of the appointment, I'll send you an email with a Zoom link in it. Just click on the link, and follow any simple instructions that follow.
- Zoom therapy sessions work best when we can make them as similar as possible to a 'live' therapy appointment. This involves you setting yourself up in a separate room or space that is quiet, and where others can't necessarily overhear you or interrupt you, and where you won't be distracted.
- For payment of Zoom appointments at the reduced same day rate, please make a direct credit payment to the following account number: 01-1188-0038653-00 Zoom fees are the same as the face to face fees above.
