OREYORU Vent Out: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Client Care & Referrals

Our Guiding Principle: You Are at the Center of Everything We Do.

At OREYORU, our entire process is built on one foundational belief: every client is unique, and their well-being is our highest priority. This SOP ensures that every individual receives the most appropriate level of care in a seamless, ethical, and supportive manner. Our goal is not just to provide a service, but to be a trusted partner in your wellness journey.

The Client Care Pathway: A 3-Step Process

When a practitioner believes a different level of support would be more beneficial for you, they will initiate the following confidential, three-step process:

Step 1: Professional Identification & Internal Consultation

Your practitioner will use their professional judgment to identify if your needs could be better met by a colleague with a different skill set (e.g., moving from supportive listening to skill-building, or from counselling to clinical assessment). They may consult internally with a senior team member to ensure the recommendation is sound.

Step 2: A Transparent Conversation & Your Informed Consent

This is the most critical step. Your practitioner will have a gentle and open conversation with you.

  • They will clearly explain why they believe a different type of support would be helpful.
  • They will describe the expertise of the recommended practitioner.
  • They will answer all of your questions.
  • No action is taken without your explicit, documented consent. You are in complete control of your care pathway.

Step 3: A Seamless & Supported Transition

Once you have given your approval, our team will handle the logistics.

  • The transition to your new practitioner will be managed smoothly and confidentially.
  • With your permission, a summary of relevant, non-sensitive information will be securely shared to ensure you don’t have to start from scratch.
  • All consultations, at every level, are conducted via our secure, GDPR and HIPAA-compliant teleconferencing system to protect your privacy.

Referral Pathways Within OREYORU

To ensure you always have the right guide for your journey, our practitioners operate within the following ethical pathways:

  • From a Wellness Listener:If you begin to explore deeper patterns or require more structured skill-building, your Listener will recommend a consultation with a Counselling Psychologist. If more complex clinical concerns are present, they will, after internal review, recommend a consultation with a Clinical Psychologist.
  • From a Counselling Psychologist:If you have successfully built new skills and now primarily need a supportive space to maintain your progress, your psychologist may suggest transitioning to a Wellness Listener. Conversely, if they identify potential underlying clinical issues that require formal assessment, they will recommend a consultation with a Clinical Psychologist.
  • From a Clinical Psychologist:The Clinical Psychologist holds the highest authority in clinical decision-making on our platform.
    • They provide assessment, diagnosis, and psychotherapy for the full spectrum of mental health disorders.
    • If, during their assessment, they determine that medication could be a beneficial part of your treatment, they will initiate our Medication Referral Protocol.

Medication Referral Protocol

We believe in holistic care, which sometimes includes medical support.

  • If our Clinical Psychologist recommends a psychiatric consultation, they will discuss this with you thoroughly.
  • With your informed consent, a referral will be made to a specialist Psychiatrist at our affiliated OREYORU Wellness centers.
  • This ensures you have access to a complete, integrated care pathway that considers all aspects of your well-being.

This SOP is our commitment to you—a promise of professional, ethical, and deeply human-centric care, every step of the way.
