You'll be advised of the postal address to do so once payment's received.

If canceling an appointment or postponing within 12 hours of scheduled time, no refund will be issued so in your best interest please ensure you to allow at least 24 hours notice to be courteous of the LKP Counselling timetable with other clients. Lee's the primary contributing counsellor at her private practice LKP Counselling. Lee's overcome adversity herself, through setting goals and being persistent in achieving success. While naturally analysing behaviors, it's the obligation of Lee to evaluate your story as you narrate it, interrupt at Lee's discretion, focus on the development of realistic, practical solutions for you. It's likely Lee will build rapport with you quickly, due to her friendly, approachable nature therefore you should feel comfortable putting all of your cards on the table if not at your first, your second session. Your appointments will merely be information gathering sessions, so it's vital to inform Lee of as much as you can think of at the time in order for Lee to best guide you. Lee's goal's to help you create a better life for your family in a therapeutic form through self-motivating pathways, with Lee's unique ability to effectively communicate in common sense language rather than self-help jargon. LKP Counselling uses a multi-diciplinary approach from a psychosocial perspective to maximise your treatment outcomes. If pursuing the unknown donor gametes process LKP Counselling will discuss with you grief and loss issues, personal and family history, mental health history, available supports, stress management strategies, fertility challenges, your motivations and emotional readiness to proceed, associated legal issues including the limitation on the number of children and families created from your one donor including the potential for half siblings, your child/rens right to know their other generic parent when they turn eighteen, the legal status of child/ren born as a result of the unknown donor gametes procedure; the donor not being the parent or having parental rights or responsibilities, the potential future disclosure to your child/ren and others such as your family and friends including pros and cons for telling or not telling your child/ren and others, methods you could use should you choose to disclose the information, the impact an unknown donor would have on future relationships given your child/ren would not be genetically related to your partner, the short and long term consequences associated with the unknown donor gametes process, your perception of the needs of children born as a result of the unknown donor gametes process, any other additional personal concerns, and, your understanding of the procedures and complications; issues with respect to abnormalities and unsuccessful treatments. Your GP, Pathology, Specialist, Radiology, Chemist, accompanied by LKP Counselling and a Fertility Clinic will be your most valuable points of contact throughout your journey. Whilst it's an essential part of the services provided to all patients to attend two compulsory counselling sessions prior to undergoing commencement of treatment, don't hesitate to contact LKP Counselling to book additional sessions before, during and after treatment should you need an avenue to turn to for emotional support, this is available at any stage.
