You don't need to explain everything. A sentence about what brings you here is enough.

Before you send, please confirm you've read these

I understand counsellors and psychotherapists are not eligible for Medicare rebates, so I can't claim these sessions or use a Mental Health Care Plan. WorkCover and private health extras may apply instead.

I understand Alpha doesn't accept contact on behalf of someone else. If I'm writing about a partner, friend or family member, they'll need to write themselves.

I understand Alpha doesn't work with people who have recently faced, or are currently facing, legal allegations.

I've read the cancellation policy: cancelling with less than 48 hours' notice is 50% of the fee, and less than 24 hours' notice or not arriving is 80%.

I understand sessions are paid for before they start, that my card details are held securely for that, and that cash isn't accepted.

I understand Alpha uses BizzyAI, Zanda's AI assistant, to help write her session notes: with the client's consent, sessions are transcribed live. The audio isn't kept once the notes are produced and isn't used to train any AI model.

I've added alpha.ponce@wisebeginning.com.au to my contacts or safe senders, so her reply doesn't end up in junk.

Your message is emailed straight to me and isn't stored on this website. Please don't include clinical details you wouldn't want in an email.

You can book a session directly through the client portal. There's no call to get through first.

Before we start, one important thing

This therapy is not a substitute for crisis or safety intervention. It isn't appropriate if you are currently in an unsafe or dangerous situation, or if you are at immediate risk of harming yourself or ending your life. In those circumstances you need crisis, emergency or specialised support first.

Somatic psychotherapy is also unsuitable for people who have recently faced, or are currently facing, legal allegations.
