Synergy 888 requires 24 hours’ notice in the event of cancellation.
When less than 24 hours’ notice is given for a cancellation, 100% of the session fee will be charged. This is because the time has been reserved for you and it is a loss in multiple ways; a loss to another client who urgently wanted to see a psychologist, a loss to the psychologist who has spent time preparing for the session, and a loss to a client delaying therapeutic progress.
