Terms & Conditions


Here are some simple conditions for our work together. They are designed to help sessions run smoothly, safely and professionally, and to give you a clear understanding of what to expect.

If you have any questions, or would like anything clarified before booking, please get in touch.


Commitment and results

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be a helpful and effective approach for many people, but results cannot be guaranteed.

The number of sessions needed varies from person to person and depends on what you would like support with. Some people notice changes quite quickly, while others benefit from more time and consistency.

To get the most from your sessions, it is important to attend regularly, engage with the process, and listen to your relaxation MP3 between sessions where agreed.

We will discuss what may be best for you during your initial consultation and review progress as we work together.

Many clients choose to work over a number of weekly sessions to begin with. For some people, this may be around 8 to 12 sessions, although this will vary depending on individual needs and goals.

 

Appointments and cancellations

If you need to reschedule or cancel your session, please call, text or WhatsApp me on: 07921 309157

Sessions cancelled, missed or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged at the full session fee.

If you have booked a block of sessions, missed appointments or late cancellations may be deducted from your block booking.

Block booking packages are non-refundable once sessions have started.

 

Safe engagement in sessions

For therapy to be safe and effective, you need to be able to engage fully with the session.

Sessions cannot go ahead if you are under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, or any substance that affects your ability to participate safely and appropriately.

If I feel that it would not be safe or appropriate to continue with a session, the session may be rearranged or ended.

 

Payments and fees

Payments can be made in advance or at the end of each session.

Payment can be made by cash, card, bank transfer or online payment link.

An online payment link can be sent via Monzo on request.

Initial consultation

The initial consultation is your first full appointment.

During this session, we complete a health background and fact-finding questionnaire together. We talk through what has brought you to hypnotherapy, what has started to feel difficult, and what changes you would like to make.

We also look at how you would like everyday life to feel instead.

I will explain how the brain responds to stress, anxiety and overwhelm, and how this can affect your thoughts, feelings, sleep, confidence and body.

Many people find this reassuring because the way they have been feeling starts to make more sense.

You will also receive a relaxation MP3 to support our work between sessions.

There is no obligation to book further sessions after your initial consultation.

Confidentiality

All personal information shared during sessions, whether verbal or written in notes, is treated as private and confidential.
