Appointments & Fees

The full service terms and conditions will be discussed during the first consultation. These service terms and conditions are in line with the PoPI (Protection of Personal Information) Act.

Psychotherapist Appointments

Appointments for psychotherapy can be made once a doctor’s referral letter has been obtained. The appointment can be made telephonically with the rooms of Dr. Henk J. Swanepoel on 012 653 3196 or requested via e-mail on info@henkswanepoel.co.za (please attach the doctor’s referral letter).

Psycho-Legal Appointments

Firstly an referral letter must be e-mailed to us at info@henkswanepoel.co.za. This letter must state a summary of the case and the exact nature of the psycho-legal investigation required as well as particular questions that need to be addressed or commented on in the psycho-legal report. The letter should also clearly state the purpose of the psycho-legal evaluation as well as the context (e.g. open court, family advocate’s office etc) as well as the court in which the matter will be heard and the date on which the payment will be received and the report thus delivered.
Once we have received this, we will reply to your e-mail. We will include a quotation for the requested forensic services. Once the quotation is accepted, in writing, we will set up the appointment or appointments for the psycho-legal interviews and assessment.
Thereafter a psycho-legal report will be written and upon settlement of the account the report will be made available to the referring party.
If requested, Dr. Henk J. Swanepoel can appear in court to give expert witness testimony, however this will be billed for separately and will include Dr. Henk J. Swanepoel’s reservation, preparation and qualification fee.

These consultations need to be paid either cash or by means of electronic transfer.
