Keeping things simple and affordable
Fees
We endeavour to provide very high quality therapy at affordable prices. Please enquire about our session rates. Sessions are held in the privacy and comfort of our dedicated offices.
Please enquire about fees for contract work.
Cancellation Policy
Whilst we recognize that emergencies can happen, we ask that 24 hours notice of a cancellation be given. If not a cancellation fee of 70% may be charged. As we have a waitlist a no show will be charged at the full rate.
Payment
In terms of payment we will email out an invoice so you can make payment via internet banking at your convenience.
If cost is an issue, there is also an option for income-based financial assistance via Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) – see below.
Disability Allowance
WINZ have an allowance available that may assist with therapy costs called the Disability Allowance . It is a weekly, non-taxable rate currently set at $64.29. This is paid directly to you and then when invoiced you can use this to help assist with session fees.
- meet an income test;
- have a disability which is likely to last at least 6 months (the term ‘disability’ is quite flexible here – it includes ‘stress’ or anxiety or any other emotional difficulties or physical illness or accident);
- have ongoing, additional costs arising from that disability;
- be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident or deemed to hold a residence class visa in New Zealand under the Immigration Act 2009 (e.g. Australian citizens or residents) and;
- generally be ordinarily resident in New Zealand
