We explain your proposed arrangement.
Your appointment time is arranged with you.
You can choose to switch therapists when the fit is not working. At Counsilio, we listen to your concerns and help find the right person. You do not need to browse a roster alone or persuade yourself to continue with a match that does not feel suitable.
Describe what needs to be different
Perhaps you need more structure, a different pace, a gender preference or better understanding of your context. Separate those needs from the broad feeling that therapy is not working. One concrete example helps explain the concern: a topic repeatedly missed, an approach you do not understand or a conversation you cannot comfortably have. You do not need to make a complaint to express a preference.
Plan continuity without taking on the whole process
Tell Counsilio what you want to change and which parts of previous support were useful. We listen, understand your concerns and help find a suitable counsellor. You can come directly to us; you do not have to discuss the concern with the counsellor first. For example: “I need a slower pace, and I would like us to agree what we are working towards.” We explain the proposed match, cost and appointment arrangements before you decide. If you are receiving ongoing treatment elsewhere, discuss continuity with the relevant professional. Use urgent support when needed while routine arrangements are being considered.
Handle an existing appointment separately
A request to change counsellor does not automatically cancel an appointment already arranged. Counsilio’s owner-confirmed cancellation cutoff is 12 hours before the session. We make the applicable arrangements clear; this notice period does not establish a refund, fee waiver or immediate replacement appointment. Include your timing and budget in the conversation so the next proposal can fit your situation.
Questions about therapist fit
Do I have to justify wanting to switch?
You can raise the preference and concern. A specific example helps us understand it, but you do not have to prove that your experience is valid.
Is a switch instant or free?
No instant availability or fee treatment is promised. We help with the change and explain the actual arrangements.
Must I speak to my counsellor before contacting Counsilio?
No. You can bring your concern directly to us, including if you feel unable or unsafe discussing it with the counsellor. We listen and help with the appropriate next step.
