Question 1

Is this evidence-based?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can review the research here https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/circle-of-security-model/research/

Question 2

What is the difference between the 8-week, 4-week and weekend programs?

Accepted Answer

The content is exactly the same. The difference is just the option for time. Circle of Security includes 8 Chapters and officially recommends this run as an 8-week program, so when I offer two chapters at a time making it 4 weeks I have to use the word 'abbreviated'.

Question 3

Can I do the course self-paced?

Accepted Answer

No. The Circle of Security Parenting program is designed to be facilitated in a group and discussion setting.

Question 4

Do you offer a payment plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is available upon request and must be paid in full before the first session

Question 5

I'm not comfortable with a group. Can I do this Privately 1:1?

Accepted Answer

Please contact me or see my website for more information on Private 1:1 sessions https://thegentlecounsellor.com/circle-of-security-parenting/

Question 6

Can I use my NDIS funding?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. I have had clients use their NDIS funding for group and private 1:1 sessions. Please check if this service is part of your current plan to be able to claim for it, and if it is not in your plan then you may ask if you can add this at your next review. Please seek confirmation first.

Question 7

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

The event page and terms and conditions you agree to during the registration process state that there are no refunds for this particular event. These policies are in place to ensure the smooth and seamless planning and execution of the event for all participants involved.

Question 8

Can my partner attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I do not charge additional for partners, so you just need one registration and both your names will be included on the one certificate.

Question 9

Will the sessions be recorded?

Accepted Answer

No. Sessions are not recorded due to the nature of privacy and confidentiality with participants, the delivery method of the program, and Copyright of the Circle of Security materials.

Question 10

What happens if a group does not meet the minimum 4 registrations?

Accepted Answer

If 4 is not reached your ticket will be refunded or transferred to another session. Please consider if private 1:1 is a more suitable option for you. You may email me to ask, however I do my best to update the event page with a confirmation message.

Question 11

What if I miss a session?

Accepted Answer

If you miss a session then a makeup session will be offered for an additional $160, or the ticket will be transferred to a future session (if available), or you will be given the option to pay the difference for a private 1:1 session. No refunds.
