By accessing or using this website, booking a session, purchasing a service, downloading a resource, or otherwise engaging with Becoming On Point, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use this website or engage our services.

These Terms should be read together with any applicable intake forms, informed consent documents, privacy information, booking policies, and service agreements provided to you.

2. About Becoming On Point

Becoming On Point provides counselling, psychotherapy, performance coaching, mindset support, nervous system regulation strategies, psychoeducation, and related online resources.

The business is operated by Gabrielle-Beth Volovsky under On Point Specialist Services, ABN 35 436 632 464.

Services may be delivered online, by telehealth, or through other agreed formats. Availability of services may vary depending on your location, presenting needs, professional scope, and suitability for the service.

3. Nature of Services

Becoming On Point offers support that may include counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, somatic awareness, emotional regulation strategies, psychoeducation, reflective exercises, and performance-informed strategies.

Counselling and psychotherapy services are intended to support mental health, emotional wellbeing, self-understanding, behaviour change, nervous system awareness, and personal development.

Coaching and performance-focused services are intended to support personal growth, mindset, resilience, goal-setting, performance habits, and self-regulation. Coaching is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatric care, medical care, crisis support, or diagnosis.

The specific nature of the service you receive will depend on the service you book, your needs, your location, and what is agreed during intake.

4. Not an Emergency or Crisis Service

Becoming On Point is not an emergency, crisis response, suicide intervention, or acute mental health service.

If you are in immediate danger, at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact emergency services in your location immediately.

In Australia, you can contact:

  • Emergency Services: 000

  • Lifeline: 13 11 14

  • Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467

  • Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636

If you are outside Australia, please contact the relevant emergency, crisis, or mental health support service in your current location.

5. Suitability of Services

Not all services are suitable for all clients or circumstances.

Becoming On Point may decline, pause, modify, or refer out services where it is clinically, ethically, practically, or professionally appropriate to do so. This may include situations involving acute risk, complex needs requiring a higher level of care, medical or psychiatric needs outside scope, technology limitations, location-based restrictions, conflicts of interest, or concerns about service fit.

Where appropriate, alternative supports or referral options may be discussed.

6. Client Responsibilities

By engaging with Becoming On Point, you agree to:

  • provide accurate and relevant information during intake and throughout the service;

  • advise of any significant changes to your wellbeing, risk, medication, health, or circumstances that may affect the service;

  • participate voluntarily and honestly;

  • attend sessions in a private, safe, and appropriate environment;

  • not record sessions without prior written consent;

  • use online resources responsibly and in context;

  • seek medical, psychiatric, legal, financial, or emergency support where required;

  • respect professional boundaries, communication limits, and booking processes.

7. Online and Telehealth Services

Online sessions require a stable internet connection, a private location, and suitable technology.

While reasonable steps are taken to use secure and appropriate platforms, no online communication system can be guaranteed to be completely risk-free. By using telehealth or online communication, you acknowledge the ordinary privacy, security, and technical risks associated with digital services.

If technical issues interrupt a session, reasonable steps will be taken to reconnect or make alternative arrangements where appropriate.

8. Bookings and Payments

All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation.

Fees will be communicated before or at the time of booking. Payment may be required at the time of booking, before the session, or according to another agreed arrangement.

Where a deposit, pre-payment, payment link, invoice, or other payment process is used, this will be communicated to you clearly.

Failure to make payment may result in cancellation, postponement, or suspension of services until payment is received.

9. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Sessions

A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule a session unless otherwise agreed.

Late cancellations, missed sessions, or non-attendance may be charged in full.

This policy exists because session times are reserved specifically for you and may not be able to be offered to another client at short notice.

Exceptions may be considered in genuine emergencies or exceptional circumstances, at the discretion of Becoming On Point.

10. Refunds

Refunds are considered in accordance with Australian Consumer Law and the nature of the service provided.

Fees are generally not refundable for sessions that have already been delivered, missed without sufficient notice, or cancelled late, except where required by law or otherwise agreed.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.

11. Informed Consent

Before commencing counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, or other direct services, you may be asked to complete intake documents and provide informed consent.

Informed consent may include information about the nature of the service, confidentiality, privacy, limits to confidentiality, fees, cancellations, record keeping, telehealth, risks and benefits, professional boundaries, and your rights as a client.

Your ongoing participation in services indicates your continued consent, although you may withdraw from services at any time.

12. Confidentiality

Becoming On Point treats client information as confidential, subject to legal, ethical, and professional limits.

Confidentiality may need to be limited or broken in certain circumstances, including where:

  • there is a serious risk of harm to you or another person;

  • there are concerns about child safety, abuse, neglect, violence, or exploitation;

  • disclosure is required or authorised by law;

  • records are subpoenaed or otherwise legally compelled;

  • consultation, supervision, or professional advice is required, with identifying information limited where reasonably possible;

  • you provide consent for information to be shared.

Further information about privacy and confidentiality may be provided through intake and privacy documentation.

13. Privacy and Personal Information

Becoming On Point collects and handles personal information for purposes including service delivery, intake, assessment of suitability, bookings, payments, communication, record keeping, legal compliance, professional obligations, and service improvement.

Personal information may include your name, contact details, booking information, payment information, intake responses, health or wellbeing information, session notes, correspondence, and other information you choose to provide.

Your information will not be sold. Personal information will only be used or disclosed where necessary for service provision, where you have provided consent, where required or authorised by law, or where otherwise permitted under applicable privacy obligations.
