CHOOSING A PRACTITIONER
Each Practitioner is happy to discuss with you your personal requirements. If they are not
able to offer expertise in the area you require they will suggest an alternative practitioner.
· When contacting a practitioner, questions to ask include:

policy?
· What experience do you
have in this area?
· What is your approach
to this problem?
· How long is therapy expected
to take?
At BPA we encourage our future clients to feel free to ask questions while making an appointment.
This is our first contact with each other. On phoning a practitioner you may get an answering machine or voice mail. Please
leave a message. Your call is important to us, and we endeavour to return calls as soon as possible. Alternatively you can
