Our Personalised Booking Process
Choosing the right psychologist is about more than simply finding the next available appointment. A strong therapeutic relationship is widely recognised as one of the most important contributors to successful therapy, which is why we've designed our booking process to help every new client start with the psychologist who is the best fit for their needs.
Why we take matching so seriously
At Blokes Psychology, we understand that reaching out for support isn't always easy, particularly for boys and men. For many, making that first phone call or booking that first appointment has taken weeks, months or even years. We believe that when someone finally decides to ask for help, that opportunity shouldn't be left to chance. That's why we place such a strong emphasis on thoughtful clinician matching from the very beginning.
How it works
Discovery
Whether you contact us by phone, submit an enquiry through our website, or book online, every new client is supported by our dedicated Intake Team. Their role is to ensure you've been matched with the psychologist who is most likely to meet your needs, preferences and goals.
We get to know your needs
Our Intake Team takes the time to understand your presenting concerns, goals, previous experiences, preferences and availability.
We match you with the right psychologist
Our Intake Team works closely with every psychologist in our practice and has a detailed understanding of each clinician's therapeutic style, personality, areas of interest, clinical experience and approach to treatment; knowledge that extends well beyond what can be captured in an online profile. This is what allows them to recommend the psychologist who is most likely to be the right fit for you.
We confirm your booking and explain what to expect
Before your first appointment, we'll explain our fees, cancellation policy, terms and conditions, and what to expect when working with Blokes Psychology, so you feel informed and supported from the outset.
We reserve your first six appointments
To promote continuity of care, we generally recommend and reserve your first six appointments. This doesn't lock you into ongoing treatment or commit you to continuing if the fit isn't right. Instead, it helps ensure you have consistent appointment times, particularly as many of our psychologists book well in advance.
Already chosen a psychologist?
If you've already chosen a psychologist or booked an appointment online, our Intake Team will still be in touch to confirm your booking, answer any questions and ensure your chosen clinician is the best fit for your needs. If they believe another psychologist may be better suited, they'll discuss the options with you but the decision will always remain yours.
If the fit isn't right
If, after meeting your psychologist, you feel someone else may be a better fit, we'll happily work with you to find the clinician who best meets your needs.
Our commitment
Our role isn't simply to book an appointment, it's to help you find the psychologist you're most likely to build a genuine therapeutic relationship with, giving you the strongest possible foundation for positive outcomes.
