Cancellation Policy

CANCELLATIONS & MISSED APPOINTMENTS

All our clients are expected to attend scheduled sessions on time.  A cancelled or delayed appointment negatively impacts on our work and other clients.  Your appointments are reserved for you, so out of respect, a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for rescheduling or cancelling an appointment.  Where possible, more than 24 hours’ notice is preferrable so we can schedule another client.  If you are unable to attend your appointment, please call the office or text so that we have time to fill your slot.

 

A late cancellation or no-show appointment hurts at least three people:  you, your counsellor and another client who may have been on our waitlist for some time.

FREQUENT CANCELLATIONS OR MISSED APPOINTMENTS

Frequent cancellations or missed appointments during the course of your counselling agreement (two cancellations within this period) or (two consecutive missed appointments) will result in the termination of the counselling agreement. 

 

Although Catholic Social Services may send you txt reminders about upcoming appointments, this is done as a courtesy.  It remains your sole responsibility to keep track of your scheduled appointments, whether you receive a txt reminder or not.

Please contact us if you would like assistance with filling out and submitting a referral form.
