Covid-19

Below is information about how QPK is managing practice with Covid-19 out in the world. If you have any questions, please get in touch. The health and safety of my clients (and myself) is important to me! (Last updated Feb 2024)

Currently all sessions are virtual, however at some point there will again be the option for face-to-face sessions. Clients who are unvaccinated (two main vaccinations plus boosters), or prefer not to disclose their status, will only be seen virtually. All possible notice will be given to clients if there are is a shift from face-to-face to virtual, or vice-versa.

Any clients who wish to cancel or postpone a session due to Covid-19 (diagnosed or otherwise) are encouraged to do so, and will not be charged any cancellation fee.

When face-to-face sessions are an option, the following additions have been made to the counselling space. There is now a) a heat pump and / or windows which can be opened; b) a HEPA-grade air filter, and c) a C02 monitor. Additionally, masks are available and encouraged to be worn. Hand sanitiser (fragrance-free) is available in the office at all times, and use of this is also encouraged.

Any client who has requested an in-person session who feels unwell on the day has the following options: to a) cancel or postpone, b) request a zoom session, or c) attend wearing a face mask (the latter if agreed to by Dee).

If Dee is feeling unwell she will let clients know promptly, so they have the option of cancelling or switching to zoom if required. Dee has her own N95 or equivalent face masks and is happy to wear one during a face-to-face session if requested by a client. Additionally, if Dee suspects possible exposure to Covid-19 she will get tested, self-isolate, and let clients know as soon as possible of the outcome. This is so clients can make an informed decision.

IMPORTANT: Please be aware that if Dee is diagnosed with Covid-19, confidentiality does NOT extend to contact tracing. Minimum possible information will be shared for tracing purposes.

As of February 2024 Dee has received two Pfizer vaccination doses and four booster doses.
