Changes for 2025
I am making some changes in how I manage counselling beginning in January 2025 in relation to:
- Schedule
- Online booking
- Appointment length
Schedule
On Mondays and Fridays my latest appointment will be ending at 5pm (instead of 6.15pm). My evening time on Thursday is at capacity and will not appear as available to book online.
These schedule changes reflect a desire to make the counselling ministry more sustainable for us as a young family. My absence over the ‘crazy hours’ of meal and bedtimes has been creating pressure.
Online Booking
I have just changed my online booking process to use Zanda Health (formerly Power Diary)—more complete practice management software. This is after numerous points of friction with my previous booking system.
If you currently have an appointment booked with me for 2025 using the previous system you can still use it to manage that appointment with me. You can do that here: https://christiancounselling.sydney/customer-login/
However, all new appointments will need to be made using the new system (accessible from the Booking page). The first time you make a booking you will need to set up new login access to the Client Portal (similar to the previous system where you could manage your appointments yourself).
Appointment Length
I am aiming to be more consistent in containing appointment lengths going forward. I see this as:
- Serving you well by sticking to stated appointment times
- Helping to manage my own capacity
- Part of maintaining ‘buffer times’ between appointments to make notes immediately after a session.
Blessings,
Jeremy
