Assessment
I think I need help. What should I do?
The first step that you could take is to utilize the available assessment. Once you have completed the assessment, you might have an idea about the current situation and if you would need a specialist intervention.
I did the anonymous/self-assessment, but it was not saved.
To save the self-assessment score, at the end of the assessment you will need to scroll down and click the "Save Score" button.
I have done the anonymous/self-assessment. How can I send the specialist my anonymous/self-assessment?
Once you are logged in to your account, click on Specialist Booking -> Specialist Tele/Video Booking. Select the intended specialist Full Profile. Click on "Send Self-Assessment". You can send the self-assessment without booking an appointment also.
Specialist Appointment
How do I book an appointment?
Step 1 - Once you have logged in, you could click the “Message Specialist” tab and you would be able to view the available specialists. Below the preferred specialist picture, you would be able to find the tab for the specialist’s full profile, as well as the option to message him/her.
Step 2 - You may click the “profile” tab, which would lead you to the page where you could select whether to send your completed assessment, or to book the specialist appointment.
Step 3 – Once you have selected the “Book an appointment” tab, you will be led to a page where you can view the available dates and time, specialist charges, options to either opt for a phone or video discussion.
Step 4 – After you have decided and submitted the options, you would be transferred to the PayPal page, where you would be able to make payment for the selected appointment.
Step 5: You could scroll down the webpage, where you would be able to see the arrow beside the “How it works?” option, click it and you would be able to view a video that is designed to guide you on how you can access the website.
How do I check my appointment details?
After logging in, you would be able to click on the “Account” tab above your name, at the top right hand side of the homepage. Click it and it will bring you to the page where you will see an option labelled “manage appointments”. Click it and you would be led to the next page where you can see your appointment status, post reviews, or click “Appointment & Messaging”. The “Appointment & Messaging” option will display the full details of your appointment.
I noticed that the specialists in the website are not all local. So how do I know what time to book? Do I book according to my local country time or the specialist’s country time?
The time slots shown to you would be based on local country time zone (i.e. country selected in your account while registering). When you have booked the preferred time slot, it would be shown to the Specialist according to their country’s timing. Therefore you would not be required to select your time slot according to the Specialist’s country time.
I also saw that some time slots are missing, why can’t I book during those times?
The time slots that do not appear are indicating that either the Specialist is unavailable during that time, or an appointment has being selected for that time slot prior to you.
What if my session lasts longer than an hour but lesser than an additional hour? Do I have to pay for a full additional hour?
Usually the client would pay for the additional minutes of the session when it exceeds the appointment duration; however the specialist would be able to clarify better on this issue as different specialists would have different criteria.
What are the usual appointment durations?
Generally the first session would be for 60 minutes. The repeat sessions may be for 60 minutes or 30 minutes depending on the Specialist’s judgement. Per minute session should be booked after discussing with the Specialist.
How do I start my appointment with the specialist?
When you log into your account, you can click on the ‘Manage Appointments’ option, which will show you all the booked appointments you have made. Please click the audio/video link to enter the conference session. Alternatively, you could also click the meeting link provided in the email sent to you for the meeting.
I am comfortable in doing face-to-face session with the specialist. May I know where will be the location?
Once you have booked a face-to-face session through our platform, the specialist will message the location to you on our platform.
Payment
I do not have a credit card, so how can I make a payment?
Payments are made through PayPal. PayPal allows you to make payment by opening an account with them, where you can transfer money from your bank. We would suggest you to go to the PayPal website to have more accurate information on how to make payments without credit cards.
