CANCELLATION: Please give as much notice as possible if you need to cancel an appointment. The full fee will be charged if less than 24 hours notice is given or for a non-arrival, with the exception of a medical emergency.
LATE POLICY: If you are late for your session, but arrive within the first 15 minutes, your remaining scheduled time will be honoured. If you are more than 15 minutes late, this will be considered a non-arrival and will lose the session in line with the above cancellation policy.
CONFIDENTIALITY: All communication taking place during therapy sessions is confidential, subject to certain provisions. I am not at liberty to withhold information from the courts. I may be required to breach confidentiality if there is a possibility that you or another person is at risk of serious harm. It is considered confidential if an NHS professional requires information to be able to help you. Parts of your conversation may be referred to during clinical supervision, a requirement for registered therapists, although your name or any identifying details would not be disclosed.

GUARANTEES: There are a number of complex factors influencing the success of individual session work and, whilst benefits are typically observed in the majority of cases, results vary between individual clients and we do not guarantee success. We cannot provide medical advice or medical diagnosis. You are responsible for contacting your GP or other medical professional for medical advice and before making any changes to your medical treatment.
DRUGS & ALCOHOL: Please do not attend sessions under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol as these can numb or alter emotions and reduce the effectiveness of therapy.
CONTACT BETWEEN SESSIONS: To maintain appropriate therapeutic boundaries contact between sessions will be limited to arrangements for session dates and times unless otherwise agreed between us.
These are the terms that we both agree to abide by. Please keep a copy of this document for your own reference.
