FAQs
What to expect:
We know that attending “group therapy” with two psychologists might seem a little daunting for some. But group therapy is designed to offer both a space to connect and share experiences, AND learn valuable skills and strategies. In our experience, group members have really valued both of these aspects. It’s also a fantastic way to learn psychological skills in an efficient, more cost-effective approach, right from the comfort of your own home!
To support your learning you will receive a beautifully designed Client Workbook with over 100 pages of information, activities, skills, strategies, and space for reflection. This is yours to keep!
How do I sign up?
Send us an email at info@ourmindspace.com.au to express interest in the group. We will get back to you soon regarding the next steps.
The next steps will involve (1) Registering your details, (2) Attending a pre-group meeting via zoom (20-30 mins) to discuss the group, confirm suitability, and ask any questions you might have, (3) Processing payment to confirm your place in the group. Your Client Workbook will be posted to you one week before the group commences.
How will the groups run?
At this stage the group will be purely run online using Zoom. We encourage you to attend from a private space that is free from distractions.
We believe participants will get the most out of the group through engagement and active participation. Therefore, we request that participants keep their cameras on during the group (excluding planned breaks of course) to encourage participation, engagement, and feedback from the group.
The group will be 2 hours a session for 6 weeks.
Do I need to have an official ADHD diagnosis to participate in the group?
No. We understand that some people may have already received a diagnosis in childhood several years ago. Others may be considering having an assessment for ADHD as an adult. We understand that there can also be significant costs & wait time involved in ADHD assessment. Participating in a group in the meantime can be a great way to learn new psychological skills while awaiting formal assessment/diagnosis.
How much will the group cost?
$600 total to be paid upon registration to secure your place in the group (no medicare rebate available – unfortunately Medicare currently does not offer a rebate for online groups).
Do I need to have a referral to participate in the group?
No, clients are welcome to self-refer.
What happens if I miss a session?
We understand that things sometimes come up and it may mean there is a session you are unable to attend. If you are able to, please let us know beforehand if you won’t be attending. We do not offer refunds for missed sessions.
If you miss a session you can review the content in the workbook provided and ask any questions at the next group.
What if I can no longer attend or want to withdraw from the group? What is your Refund/Cancellation Policy?
A 50% refund is available if you provide at least 7 days notice (in writing via email) prior to the group commencing notifying us that you have changed your mind and wish to withdraw from the group.
We are unable to offer you a refund if you provide less than 7 days notice that you wish to withdraw, or if you withdraw once the group has already commenced.
What support is offered outside of the group?
If you feel you could benefit from further support outside of the group, we recommend you discuss your concerns with your GP who may recommend an individual psychologist.
