How we will work together – our relationship is key to your success
I want you to have the very best experience of Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.
Our relationship is crucial to your success. In which case, I have outlined a few points below to help clarify how we will work together, helping to ensure you have the best possible experience.
Commitment
All treatments rely on the commitment and motivation from both the therapist and the client to meet the best results. Part of the treatment occurs in the consulting room and part of the treatment is cognitive reflection or homework. As the client, when you agree to undertake a course of treatment you also agree to engage with the process, complete any agreed homework and listen to the hypnosis download at appropriate times. Listening to your download is a very important part of the treatment.
It is with commitment and partnership working that you will experience the best results.
PLEASE NOTE: Hypnotherapy is very effective treatment; however, results may vary, and success cannot be guaranteed.
Therapy Sessions & Fees
Fees are payable upfront by bank transfer. I will send the relevant payment details once we have agreed your booking.
Initial session – up to 90 minutes £130
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
I also offer a range of extended sessions to suit your needs. This ensures we have ample time to work together on a specific issue. You and I can discuss this option during your initial consultation.
- up to 60 minutes £100
- up to 90 minutes £150
- up to 120 minutes £200
Smoking Cessation £500
Appointments
You commit to attend the appointments that we make. There are two good reasons for this:
- Your attendance at the appointment is part of your commitment to your on-going treatment.
- If you cancel in a reasonable time (giving at least 48 hours’ notice), then I can offer the appointment to someone else.
Fair Cancellation Policy
There may be times when you need to postpone or cancel the agreed session. My cancellation policy requires at least 48 hours’ notice via telephone or text please. Please note that if an appointment is cancelled with less notice then the full session fee will apply.
As I run a very busy practice, I often have a client waiting list. If you cancel a session giving 48 hours’ notice I can offer the session to another client.
Arriving Late for an Appointment
If you are running late, please let me know by text as soon as possible. I will do my best to make a full session available, but this often depends on the appointments after your booking and so cannot be guaranteed. If your session needs to be curtailed due to your late arrival, then the session fee remains payable in full.
Confidentiality
To ensure continued best practice, I receive regular clinical supervision of my work with clients. During supervision it may be necessary to review your treatment but any reference that could allow you to be identified is removed and each client is referenced by a number only. Everything you say will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Your Medical Conditions
As with all complementary therapies, you should seek advice from your GP if you feel you have a medical condition.
Duty of Care and Confidentiality
I take my duty of care towards you and others very seriously. If you share information with me which indicates that you and/or others are at risk of serious harm I have a duty to report this to my clinical supervisor for further advice. Please know that I have utmost respect for our relationship, if I believe I need to inform my clinical supervisor of a serious concern I will always inform you beforehand.
Use of alcohol and recreational drugs
For you to experience the very best that hypnotherapy has to offer it is important that you avoid the use of alcohol and/or recreational drugs on the day of our session. Alcohol and/or recreational drugs can disrupt the brain’s chemistry and effect your results.
