Complaints Concerning Clinical Matters
To make a complaint about your counsellor or psychologist or any aspects of your clinical experience please follow these steps:
1. In the first instance, consider raising your complaint directly with your therapist. A discussion with the clinician can often help to resolve your concerns and to clarify any misunderstandings that might exist. If you do not have direct contact details for your therapist, please contact our office at the central phone number at the top of this page or by email on admin (at) counsellingsydney.com.au
2. If you do not feel comfortable discussing your complaint directly with your therapist, or you are dissatisfied with the response you receive, you can lodge a formal complaint with your therapist’s professional membership body.
Your counsellor’s work is governed by the codes of conduct of the professional association to which they belong.
If your therapist is a Registered or Clinical Psychologist based in Australia, you can contact the Australian Psychological Society or the Psychology Board of Australia to register your complaint. Otherwise, your therapist will likely be a member of the Psychology and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) through one of its constituent membership bodies, or a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers. If you are unsure of which professional body to approach with your complaint, please contact us at info@partnerselsewhere.com
