Is Your Dost good value for money?
Included appointments can save students and employees private counselling fees.Your institution determines which channels, professionals and session allowance your account covers. Using those benefits may cost less than arranging separate private appointments. Paid sessions outside the allowance have their own charges.
Cancellation & Refunds
Paid refund requests are assessed case by case. The terms do not give a standard cancellation deadline or explain whether a missed institution-funded session is returned to your allowance.
