Please choose which counseling service you want, then send me an email at Selfhelpcounseling@yahoo.com requesting the service. I will send you an invoice to pay for the counseling session in advance through PayPal's secure payment services. I will email you to confirm the counseling service you have requested. If you have chosen a chat service, we will set up the chat session using the messenger of your choice so that you will be able to save the chat session for future references. Thank You! I look forward to our counseling session!
There are no refunds, if you have not used all of your prepaid time, you will be able to use that time as a future credit. For example if you prepay for 30 minutes and only use 15 minutes, then you will have 15 minutes credit.
