Court Reports and Legal Proceedings

Our Therapy Place provides psychological therapy and support, rather than forensic assessments or court-related services.

As a treating psychologist, I do not prepare court reports, provide medico-legal assessments or act as an expert witness in legal proceedings.

If you require a psychological assessment or report for court purposes, a psychologist who specialises in forensic or medico-legal assessments may be more appropriate.

​

Cancellation Policy 

If you are needing to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice prior to your appointment to avoid paying a cancellation fee.  This will allow us to ensure that we can provide this valuable time to other clients in need of support.

​

Cancellations of appointments on the day or failure to attend appointments without notice will result in the full session fee being implemented (without any rebate able to be provided).

​

Referrals

Referrals are accepted via email (admin@ourtherapyplace.com.au) or Medical Objects – Kerrie Lawler/5693305Y.

At Our Therapy Place, we aim to make accessing psychological support feel comfortable, straightforward and welcoming.
