Not legally — but it’s strongly recommended. If you’re currently under the care of a psychologist or psychiatrist, or you’re taking prescribed mental health medication, we ask that you inform your treating practitioner before starting therapy with us. This helps ensure your care is coordinated, safe, and ethically sound.
While a referral isn’t required by law, Sierra Bloom may request written clearance from your GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist as a precaution — especially when dealing with complex mental health conditions or medications.
You can download our referral template here to make the process simple.
Disclaimer: Sierra Bloom does not replace medical or psychiatric care. Our work is complementary, and we encourage open communication with all your healthcare providers to ensure your wellbeing is prioritised.
