A therapeutic session needs to be at least an hour long, this time period allows for the client and the therapist to get comfortable in the therapeutic space and to deal with the issues in a calm and slow fashion.
The cost of a session is R500-00 and if you are a medical aid member and your fund provides for counselling services you should be able to claim the cost back from your medical aid.
Sessions are paid for on the day of the session and at this point cash is the only method of payment.
It should be noted that I will offer sessions at reduced rate to clients that struggles financially but I then expect full commitment to the therapeutic process.
The fact that people struggling with addiction struggles to commit to treatment and services necessitates upfront payment of monthly sessions as non-attendance needs to be covered due to the fact that space within group sessions are limited.
Cost:
Level of care assessment: R 500-00
Arranging for inpatient care if needed: Free
Outpatient treatment services R2000-00 per month, this includes all group sessions, one on one sessions and family support sessions.
Aspects of these cost may be recovered from the medical aid, however currently medical aid provision is mostly linked to the cost of inpatient care.
As with one on one services, the costing can be negotiated with individuals that is suffering financial problems.
Private supervision arrangements can be made without workplace support and will be charged at R250 per hour. Quotations can be provided for workplace supervision.
Workshops and motivational sessions will be quoted for on request and cost would be adjusted according to venue specifications as well as lunch/tea specifications of the group. Printing cost can be eliminated if the company is willing to do printing of material needed in-house.
1 Private development session for a group of 20 people are offered on a monthly basis at the cost of R500-00 per person and usually this session will take place on a Saturday morning and will last for 2-4 hours depending on the content that is covered. Check the events to see what is happening this month and book your space via our contact facility.
Two spots of the private development session are available at no charge every month to allow for development of less advantaged people.
Note that the privite development sessions can be cancelled on short notice if there is a lack of clients wanting to attend.
Bookings of all the above mentioned services can be made via the Contact Button or by using either telephone or e-mail facilities, found on home page.
Note that it is imperative for you to leave a message on my cell-phone to call you back for an
appointment as I may not always be able to answer immediately.
