Fees & FAQs

  • My rate for a 50 minute therapy session is R1200. This can be paid via EFT at the end of each session.

    You may also pay using medical aid. With this option, I request that you pay me directly at the end of each session and then claim back from your medical aid scheme using the provided invoice.

  • I am available to see clients from Monday to Friday between 8:00 and 18:00. We can work together to find a time that works best for you.

    Please note: I may be in session and unable to respond immediately to emails, calls, or texts. I will respond during standard working hours or as soon as possible.

  • You can email (lmkhizepsychologist@gmail.com), text or call (064 513 4982) to set up an appointment or request a call back here.

  • In our first few sessions, we'll focus on getting to know each other. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, I'll explain how I work and we can discuss any concerns or questions you may have. It's a chance for you to share your story at your own pace, and for us to build a comfortable, trusting relationship.

  • I am fluent in English and isiZulu, allowing me to conduct therapy in these languages. I also have a basic understanding of isiXhosa, siSwati, Setswana, and Sesotho, and I am open to incorporating them into our sessions in ways that support effective communication. My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in the languages that feel most natural to them.

  • Each therapy session is 50 minutes. The amount of sessions required will depend on your individual needs and the reasons you're seeking support. We'll work together to determine what approach and timeframe (brief or long-term) will be most effective for you, taking into account your specific circumstances and available resources.

  • Late Arrivals: If you expect to be late for your appointment, please inform me as soon as possible. Your appointment will be held, and you will have the remaining time of your session. Without notification, a 15-minute grace period will be observed. If you do not arrive within that time, the session will be marked as a missed appointment and charged accordingly.

    Cancellation Policy: A full session fee will be charged for cancellations made less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment. This policy is in place to allow for rescheduling and to ensure that the appointment time can be offered to another client. Missed sessions are also billed and are generally not reimbursed by medical aids. Please provide as much notice as possible for any unavoidable changes to your appointment.

  • It's important to know that emergency care is not offered within this practice. If you experience an emergency, please contact your medical doctor or go to the nearest emergency room, where a psychologist or psychiatrist can assist. You can also find support through these helplines:
