I think the discussion (and it doesn't have to be a very long one) can be worthwhile, regardless of what resolution you offer. Thanks for your comment.

I think the discussion (and it doesn’t have to be a very long one) can be worthwhile, regardless of what resolution you offer.

Thanks for your comment.

But rather than have a discussion about what is fair compensation for missing the appointment, I think you should flat out make the next session free. Anything less is just guilting the patient into accepting a less than fair deal. It's manipulative. I would never expect to pay for the next session after a therapist has missed one.
