Before we begin
Booking a session confirms that you have read this, and the privacy and cancellation policies.
Sessions work best when you take part fully. Between sessions I may give you a short recording to listen to. Please listen to it as we agree.
Results cannot be guaranteed. Hypnotherapy is one way of working towards the change you want, alongside the effort you put in between sessions.
Hypnotherapy is not recommended if you have been diagnosed with psychosis, a delusional disorder, a personality disorder including borderline personality disorder, anorexia nervosa, or schizophrenia. By booking, you confirm that, as far as you know, you have not been diagnosed with any of these.
What you tell me is confidential. I would only pass information on where there is a risk of serious harm to you or someone else, a safeguarding concern, or a legal duty such as a court order. Where I can, I will talk to you about that first. If we meet outside a session, I will not start a conversation about your therapy. I am happy to say hello if you speak to me first.
If you cannot attend in person because of weather, a cold or flu, or travel problems, we can hold the session online or by telephone instead of cancelling it.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or rearrange. Without that notice, the session is still charged. If you arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if you are abusive, I will end the session and it will still be charged. The full terms are on the cancellation page.
Please read the privacy policy. It explains what I keep, how long I keep it, and how to ask for a copy or for it to be deleted. If I become seriously ill or die, your records may be passed to another suitable practitioner, or held so they can still be accessed where the law or my insurance requires it.
If the person coming for sessions is under 18, a parent or guardian must read this page and agree before sessions can begin. I will ask them to confirm, in writing:
- their name, and their relationship to the young person
- that they have read this page, the privacy policy, and the cancellation terms
- that they agree to the sessions going ahead
