RAPID TRANSFORMATIONAL THERAPY CLIENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read these terms and conditions which apply to the provision of our professional services. By

making an appointment, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. If you are unable or

unwilling to agree to these terms and conditions, then you should not book an appointment or continue

with your course of therapy.

 

Commitment

Hypnotherapy requires the commitment and motivation to change for the client to get the best results. As the client, when you agree to undertake a course of treatment you also agree to engage with the process and listen to the audio recordings which will be provided for you. These are designed to help you gain the most benefit and not doing these is likely to reduce the effectiveness of your results.

 

FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION

You may be offered a free 30 -60 minute online initial consultation. No therapy will be provided during the

consultation.

The purpose of this initial consultation is to find out what you would like to work on and agree o. a session or course of treatments.  During these calls, estimates of the number of sessions

required to deal with your presenting issue are given on the basis of the information presented at that

time. Estimates are only rough guidelines and are subject to change.

In-person sessions: A non-refundable deposit of £50 is payable at the time of booking your first

in-person session. The balance of the fee is due at least 48 hours prior to the first session. No refunds

will be issued for cancellations within 48 hours of the session appointment.

Online sessions: No deposit is required for online sessions, however payment for online sessions must

be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session start time. Where payment is not received

24 hours before your session, the session will be cancelled and may be offered to someone else. It

is your responsibility to pay the session fees before each scheduled session in order to confirm the

appointment booking.

No refunds will be issued for cancellations within 48 hours of in-person sessions or 24 hours of online

Session fees are for my time and professional expertise and are not a guarantee of a successful

outcome. Therefore, no refunds will be given for any sessions where you have attended and paid for

the session.

Where a discount package or therapy program has been booked and paid for in advance, if you choose

to discontinue your therapy process before attending all the sessions, a pro rata refund will be issued

after deduction of the full standard session fee for any sessions you have attended.

All professional fees will be disclosed to you prior to booking. My professional fees are subject to

review and may increase from time to time. You will always receive confirmation of the professional

fees before booking.

returning to therapy after a period of absence.
