For further information on why people consult psychologists see Common Reasons
Why People Consult a Psychologist
All personal information gathered by
the psychologist during the provision of the psychological service will remain
confidential and secure except when;
It is subpoenaed by a court;
Failure to disclose certain information would place the client or another
person's life in imminent danger;
Your prior approval has been obtained to provide reports for a third party
(e.g. a court or GP);
It is necessary to provide details to enforce the legal rights of Ian Clayton
(e.g. essential details for debt collection) or;
A mandatory notification is required by law (in New Zealand, Psychologists are
mandatory notifiers of suspected child abuse or of possible firearms
risk).
Confidentiality is controlled according to strict
guidelines set down by the Australian and New Zealand Psychological Societies
and their respective Psychological Boards. This is also provided in accordance
with Legislation.
Why a Clinical Psychologist?
Psychologists must be
registered under government legislation to practice. Training involves at least
6 years of university training to Masters level and then two years supervised
experience in assessing, treating and managing clinical conditions, human
behaviour, feelings and thoughts. Psychologists are experts in the provision of
a wide range of psychological therapies including Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Hypnotherapy. Psychologists are the only
professionals trained in the assessment of intellectual ability, cognitive
functioning, memory and personality.
Referrals are not generally
required unless you have a related medical and/or psychiatric condition where a
referral from your GP can be helpful. The ACC
requires a formal referral and in such cases consult your health fund or
case-manager.
There is no fee for
the first 30 min of the initial consultation. My hourly rate is then $100 NZ for each
subsequent hour with a 10% same day payment discount for immediate settlement
of accounts.
It is my aim to keep
fees to a fair and affordable level. If the fee structure is not affordable to
you, please feel free to discuss other possible options with me. I am
sympathetic to the difficulties faced by individuals managing on government
benefits, single parents and single income families.
The fees outlined apply to
most services for individuals, couples and families, but different fees may
apply to other services i.e. medical or medico-legal assessments and/or
reports, critical incident stress debriefings, public seminars and
presentations.
