FAQs

How much does it cost to talk to a psychologist in Timaru?

The cost of talking to a psychologist in Timaru can vary depending on several factors, such as the psychologist’s experience, the type of consultation (face-to-face or online), and the length of the session. On average, a session can cost between €80 and €150. It is important to check with the specific psychologist or clinic for exact prices. Some psychologists also offer pricing based on income, which can make services more accessible.

Do you need a referral to a psychologist?

No, it is not necessary to have a referral to make an appointment with a psychologist in Timaru. You can directly contact a psychologist or psychotherapist to make an appointment. This makes the process quick and easy, and you can choose the psychologist that best suits your needs and preferences. However, if you have private health insurance, you may want to check with your insurer whether they require a referral to cover the costs.

Do psychologists offer online consultations?

Yes, many psychologists in Timaru now offer the possibility of online consultations, which is a flexible and accessible option for those who prefer or need remote appointments. Online consultations can take place via video or phone call and are as confidential as face-to-face appointments.

What can I expect during the first meeting with a psychologist?

During the first session, the psychologist will want to get to know you and understand the challenges or concerns you are experiencing. You will discuss your goals for therapy and receive information about how the therapy process works. It’s also a time for you to ask questions and find out if the psychologist is right for you. Remember, it is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your psychologist to get the best possible results from the therapy.

How long does a typical psychology session take in Timaru?

A standard psychology session in Timaru usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. This can vary depending on the psychologist’s approach and the client’s specific needs. Some forms of therapy may involve longer or shorter sessions. It is important to discuss and agree the length of the session with your psychologist before starting the therapy.

Are psychological services in Timaru confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental principle in psychological counselling and therapy. Psychologists in Timaru are bound by confidentiality and do not share information about their clients with third parties without the client’s explicit consent, except in situations where there is a legal obligation to report, such as when there is a risk of serious harm.

Behöver jag välja en psykolog som specialiserar sig på mina specifika problem?

Det kan vara till hjälp att välja en psykolog som har erfarenhet eller specialisering i de områden som berör dina specifika utmaningar eller problem. Detta säkerställer att psykologen har relevant kunskap och verktyg för att ge dig bästa möjliga stöd. Vår hemsida tillhandahåller information om psykologernas specialområden, vilket kan underlätta i ditt val.

Can I change psychologists if I am not satisfied after a few sessions?

Absolutely. It is important that you feel comfortable and trust your psychologist. If for some reason you don’t feel that the co-operation is working, it is perfectly acceptable to switch to another psychologist. We encourage you to discuss your feelings and expectations with your psychologist to see if the situation can be improved before you decide to switch.

How can I find a suitable psychologist in Timaru?

What should I do if I need urgent psychological help?

If you need urgent psychological help, you should immediately contact the nearest emergency centre or call 112. There are also on-call psychologists and crisis centres that can provide support in emergency situations. It is important not to wait if you feel your situation is urgent.

How often should you see a psychologist?

The frequency of psychological meetings varies depending on the needs of the individual and the specific form of therapy. Some may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may need to meet more or less frequently. It is important to discuss and plan this with your psychologist, who can make recommendations based on your unique circumstances.

Can I get help with specific psychological challenges such as anxiety or depression?

Absolutely. Psychologists are trained to deal with a variety of psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems and more. When looking for a psychologist, you can look for someone who has specialised in the area most relevant to your needs.
