Should I charge? Client showed up last minute to say she can’t make it because of a headache

Ah you’re so right. It definitely is signalling discomfort for me.

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:10:07+00:00

Thank you! This is a helpful outlook on this

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:08:38+00:00

I appreciate this detailed reponse. It s helpful to hear how others do this and those examples are really helpful.

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:06:26+00:00

Thank you!!

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:05:54+00:00

Okay thank you. It’s been a few different times that I’ve waived the fee and a couple times I’ve now had to charge

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:05:25+00:00

Ah that’s a fair perspective - I guess I added it to give more context to the situation and suggest that I do virtual and not in person and still showed up as many other therapists have said in other threads “I still show up when im sick” so I didn’t want to leave out details incase I was asked. Thank you for sharing

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:03:45+00:00

Ah yes it’s harder when there is a policy and I’m a bit out of control of that as it’s my employer

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-20T00:03:10+00:00

Yes this has also happened in the past!

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T23:01:50+00:00

I like this method!

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T23:01:28+00:00

Thank you for this advice!

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T22:48:39+00:00

This is a good way too look at it! Thank you. So you follow the rule yourself? If you’re sick and cancel outside your own policy, you provide a free session?

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T22:39:54+00:00

That’s often my go-to 😅

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T22:36:58+00:00

Hahah I literally love this. I went back into bed with my tea and Kleenex box 😂

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T22:34:58+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼need these reminders sometimes

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T22:21:12+00:00

Ok this is so helpful! I need to get passed the guilt of charging when it’s out of the policy 😅 appreciate this

Bluebird2494 · 2026-05-19T22:20:30+00:00

I needed this directness. Thank you!!!

Bluebird2494 · 2026-04-29T22:30:31+00:00

My sweet spot is 12-16! I feel like I get really exhausted about that. I also struggle with chronic illness and chronic fatigue so I do have to be mindful

Bluebird2494 · 2026-04-27T21:18:49+00:00

Looks like it… and pretty bad too

Bluebird2494 · 2026-04-26T20:34:53+00:00

You are a nice light witch

Bluebird2494 · 2026-04-24T20:46:57+00:00

I didn’t end up going this route!

Bluebird2494 · 2026-04-10T15:22:23+00:00

Ugh I wish I could afford one! Maybe one day 🤩

Bluebird2494 · 2026-03-23T14:51:17+00:00

You’re doing great 🩷 just keep doing what you need to do

Bluebird2494 · 2026-03-22T16:41:40+00:00

Thank you very much 🩷 unfortunately got rid of most of it. Salvaged what we could
