These Terms of Service outline the agreement between you (the client) and Daniel Talbot Psychology regarding the provision of psychological services. By engaging in services with Daniel Talbot Psychology, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.
Daniel Talbot Psychology provides psychological counseling, therapy, and related professional services in accordance with professional standards and ethical guidelines.
All services are provided in accordance with:
Appointments may be booked via our online scheduling system, by phone, or by email. Confirmation will be sent via your preferred communication method.
Standard sessions are 50 minutes. Extended sessions (80 minutes) are available by arrangement. Session fees are outlined on our Fees page.
At least 24 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed appointments without notice, will incur the full session fee.
Exceptions: Emergency circumstances (illness, family emergency, etc.) will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
If you arrive late, the session will still conclude at the scheduled time, and the full fee applies. We will make best efforts to accommodate your needs within the remaining time.
Current fees are listed on our Fees & Medicare page. Fees are subject to change with 30 days' written notice.
Payment is due at the time of service. We accept:
If you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates. Rebates are processed directly or you will receive an invoice to claim through Medicare yourself.
Unpaid fees may result in suspension of services until payment arrangements are made. Persistent non-payment may be referred to a collection agency (clients will be notified beforehand).
All information shared during sessions is confidential and protected under Australian privacy laws and professional ethical standards.
Confidentiality may be breached in the following circumstances:
Your case may be discussed (in anonymised form) with clinical supervisors or peer consultants for quality assurance and professional development purposes.
Telehealth sessions are conducted via secure, encrypted video platforms (e.g., Zoom Healthcare, Coviu) in compliance with Australian telehealth guidelines.
You are responsible for ensuring you have a stable internet connection, appropriate device, and a private, quiet space for sessions.
In case of technical failure or urgent crisis during a telehealth session, contact emergency services (000) immediately. Telehealth is not suitable for crisis intervention.
You are expected to provide accurate information and engage honestly in the therapeutic process. Therapy is most effective when clients actively participate.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please inform me immediately. In emergencies, contact emergency services (000) or Lifeline (13 11 14).
Please inform me if you are taking medication or receiving other forms of treatment (psychiatric care, counseling, etc.) so we can coordinate care effectively.
You may discontinue services at any time. If possible, we encourage a final session to discuss progress and future plans.
Services may be terminated if:
You will be given reasonable notice and, where appropriate, referrals to other professionals.
Your feedback is valued. If you have concerns about any aspect of the service, please raise them with me directly so they can be addressed promptly.
If you wish to make a formal complaint, you may contact:
While every effort is made to provide high-quality professional services, Daniel Talbot Psychology cannot guarantee specific outcomes. Psychological therapy involves collaboration, and results depend on many factors, including your engagement and circumstances outside of therapy.
These Terms of Service may be updated from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via email or through our website. Continued use of services following changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
