## Professional Registration and International Online Sessions

Renée is an experienced South African healthcare practitioner, registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

She offers an integrative approach informed by her professional training and experience in trauma-focused and body-based therapeutic work, including EMDR and TRE®.

Renée is based in Cape Town, South Africa. Her South African professional registration does not constitute registration or licensure in other countries or jurisdictions.

International enquiries are considered individually, taking into account the nature of the requested service, professional requirements and applicable regulations.

Clients are provided with information about professional registration, the scope of services and the terms of online consultations before beginning work together.

## Medical Aid

Many medical aids may reimburse in full or in part for my services.

Please check with your medical aid to see if they will cover out-of-hospital Occupational Therapy sessions.

I ask that clients pay for their sessions in full at the time of their session and claim back from medical aids themselves.

Please consult your medical aid scheme for more information in this regard.

My sessions do not qualify for Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs).
