Q: What is the process of seeing one of your psychologist?
A: You can make an appointment either by phone or by e-mail. The first appointment will include an initial consultation which will take between 60-80 minutes. Please allow yourself time to complete a standard information form and prepare any questions you need to ask regarding the psychologist who will be assigned to you. Upon completion of the form, you will also be given a client information handbook on everything you need to know regarding the psychologist, the practice, the opening hours, appointment time adherence, your rights as a client and more.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Depending on the severity of the current diagnosis. The average patient will take between 4-8 sessions (50 minutes per session). There are incidences where treatment may take a longer time than expected due to reoccurring problems, external factors, event triggers and so forth. We usually try not to go beyond 8 sessions to avoid any dependence on therapy and the decision will be made on a case to case basis.

A: Professional fee for initial consultation will be charged at RM450. Subsequent consultation will average at RM350. For more information, please refer to our clinic fee schedule.
