TERMS AND CONDITIONS These terms and conditions are for the benefit of you as the client and me as the Practitioner. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with them. I would be happy to field any questions you might have.
I reserve the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice.
As your therapist I rely on your honesty and openness at all times when discus
sing your past and present histories. Its purpose is solely so that I can accurately gauge and alter therapy accordingly to give you the maximum benefit. By booking and attending a treatment with me it is taken as proof that you have read, understood and agree with the Terms and Conditions detailed here. Your appointments:
Cancellation of scheduled appointments requires an advance notice of at least 1 working day. Cancellations can be made by telephone, email or text (not via Facebook or Twitter or other social networking site). If you miss a scheduled appointment and did not inform me at least 1 working day previously, you agree to pay the appointment charge in full. To book an appointment and to miss it means I cannot offer that time slot to someone else. You agree to provide the Therapist comprehensive health and medical information to the best of your knowledge. For my part, I agree to it being kept entirely confidential and in the understanding that it shall never be passed on to or read by any third party. I will never share your information with anyone else. I understand that Hypnotherapy is NOT a substitute for medical examination or medical care. You agree to honour all existing and future medical practitioner appointments as you see fit and/or as needed. You also agree to NOT stop any course of medication or treatment as prescribed by your local GP or other healthcare professional without first discussing this with them. You agree to update your Therapist with information on any changes to any ongoing medical treatments as these changes may affect your Hypnotherapy treatments in some way. You agree that any Hypnotherapy should not be used in place of conventional medical care. Always consult your GP or a healthcare professional for medical attention and advice. Hypnotherapists are not qualified general medical practitioners and any views or opinions expressed on topics outside of my acknowledged training must not be acted upon before consulting your own GP or healthcare professional. I the Hypnotherapist do not assume or accept responsibility for clients’ healthcare needs. Any therapy you may undertake is done so voluntarily by you on the understanding that you have read and abide by these Terms and Conditions. As with any therapy, absolute guarantees cannot and are not given or implied. You agree to attend your sessions with me free of drugs and alcohol, and that you will treat your Therapist with respect and take your treatment seriously. How many sessions will I need? On average and for most issues I would prefer to see each client 3 to 4 times, but sometimes more or less sessions are required, it depends on your motivation and desire to change. However, Hypnotherapy is an effective therapy and I want to help you in the minimum number of sessions possible. We will review your progress together so that at any time you can make a valued judgement about how the therapy is progressing. How often will I need to see the Hypnotherapist? This depends on the type of problem and on the progress made. The Hypnotherapist will usually see you once a week. However, some clients see the Hypnotherapist once a fortnight or even once a month depending on their circumstances. I pride myself in sticking with you and would like you to stay with me, but you can of course leave your therapy at any time. Leaving any agreed therapy plan will likely incur a cost on your part and is normally charged at 50% of the remaining fee would you have continued. This is because your face to face session is only part of the work I would have done, much more is done behind the scenes in preparation and planning; this incurs a cost on my part which is recoverable. How much does it cost? Sessions usually last an hour, but can last up to 2 hours and is charged at a starting rate of £80 per hour. Any changes to this fee will be discussed with you prior to commencing treatment. For your and my own security I prefer payment in advance through bank transfer. My transfer details will be sent to you once you have confirmed your appointment. I regret that I am currently not able to accept payment by credit/debit card. Assisted payments are available on arrangement. I take pride in not allowing financial hardship to restrict necessary treatment. I work hard to treat you in the least number of sessions possible without compromising quality. However, longer, intensive sessions can be arranged upon request and where special payment rates might apply.
