Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Cathartic Collaborations offer?
Cathartic Collaborations offers supervision, consultation, training and speaking for professionals, researchers and organisations.
Which Cathartic Collaborations service is right for me?
If you’re looking for ongoing reflection on your professional practice or research, supervision may be the best fit. If you have a specific question, challenge, idea, resource, project or system you want to work through, consultation may be more suitable. Training is designed for teams and organisations wanting to develop shared understanding and practical skills, while speaking is suited to events and conferences seeking a particular perspective or area of expertise.
Does Cathartic Collaborations provide free brief appointments or phone calls to assess fit?
No. We encourage you to explore our website to identify if Cathartic Collaborations is a good fit for you. Information about each service is available on the relevant service page, and you’re welcome to email if you have a specific question that isn’t answered on the website: contact@catharticcollaborations.com.au.
Does Cathartic Collaborations offer reduced fees?
No. We’re unable to offer reduced or sliding-scale fees. As a small, neurodivergent-led business, our team works part-time and prices our services to support sustainability, fair labour, and high-quality care. Maintaining consistent fees allows us to continue offering thoughtful, ethical, and neuroaffirming work without overextending our capacity.
Can accommodations be made to meet my neurodivergent or accessibility needs?
Yes. Accessibility is embedded in how Cathartic Collaborations works. Please let us know if you have any specific sensory, communication, executive functioning or learning needs that need to be addressed to fully engage in our services.
What are Cathartic Collaborations fees?
Fees vary depending on the service and the scope involved. Current fees and payment information are available on the Fees page.
What is the Cathartic Collaborations cancellation policy?
Cancellation arrangements vary depending on the service. For supervision and Focussed Consultation appointments, at least 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or non-attendance, are charged the full appointment fee. For Project Consultation, training and speaking, cancellation and rescheduling arrangements are agreed in advance and outlined in the signed agreement for that work. Our cancellation terms are provided before you engage a service so you can consider them before proceeding. For appointment-based services, reminder emails are also sent before your appointment and include information about cancelling or rescheduling.
