Client Agreement

Privacy
Your privacy and confidentiality are important, and A Peaceful Path Hypnotherapy will never use your information for any purpose other than that to which you have explicitly consented to above.


You may withdraw consent at any time by getting in touch via 07770 811046 or hypnotherapy@theramble.co.uk

 

THERAPY FEES

If you want to make a lasting change for the better and have a happier, calmer and more content life, an investment in solution focused hypnotherapy is one of the best choices you could make.


It’s not always a quick fix. Usually you will need at least 6-8 sessions to warrant positive lasting change for the better for general anxiety based issues and as many as 15 (or more) to get to where you want to be (each client is unique). 


All sessions last approximately 1 hour.


Initial Phone Consultation

I offer a free 15 minute initial telephone conversation. No therapy will be provided during the consultation.


Initial Consultation: £40

This includes a relaxation MP3 that supports and enhances the work done in clinical sessions.


Subsequent Sessions: £80    

Sessions are for 55 mins plus 5 mins admin


Sports Performance Package: £320

Initial Consultation & 4 subsequent structured sessions


Phobias

Simple £240 – 3 sessions

Complex £450  – 6 sessions


Foundation Package: £450

6 sessions booked and paid in advance - these are non refundable and must be taken within 6 months.

(this option is available to those who wish to experience 1 session before investing)

 

Payment: via BACS; Acct: Samantha Leese, 30 91 25, 00863743, bacs, cash or card


• All sessions last approximately 60 minutes

• Fees are payable in advance


Please make sure that you are on time for your appointment. It is likely that there will be an appointment immediately after yours and your lateness will reduce your time in sessions.


When working with children under the age of 16yrs I ask that a parent is present for the sessions unless we agree otherwise.

 

Cancellation

If you have to cancel your hypnotherapy appointment, please give at least 48 hours notice. This ensures fairness to other clients who are waiting for an appointment.


Missed appointments or appointments that are rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at the full rate.


Your commitment to the process is the difference that makes the difference. There are no guarantees. How long does it usually take you to learn something new? Give yourself the time that you need to make positive lasting change. Thank you.

 

In Between Sessions

I can’t offer therapy outside of the therapy appointment, I will try to bring an appointment forward if possible, but I’m not an advice led therapy and am not able to offer advice by phone/email etc.


Any contact between sessions will be by telephone or email during office hours only (Monday to Friday, 10.00am to 4.00pm). Any messages received outside of these hours will be dealt with during office hours only.

 

Other Medical or Psychological Treatment

If you are receiving care or treatment from any medical, healthcare or therapy practitioner, e.g. GP, Psychologist, Psychiatrist or Counsellor, you may be asked to seek their permission before any therapy sessions can commence.


Supervision

As an Accredited Member of The National Hypnotherapy Society, I receive regular supervision in line with the Society’s policy and guidance in order to maintain standards and promote best practice.


Supervision sessions may involve discussion of client histories and/or details of sessions. Where this applies, your identity will not be disclosed and your confidentiality will be maintained at all times, except in the circumstances described in the confidentiality section of this agreement.

 

Confidentiality

All contact, including sessions, telephone conversations and emails, will be conducted in confidence and may be recorded. Prior to any recording, your agreement will be sought. All recordings, conversations and notes will remain confidential, except in the following circumstances:


  1. Where you give permission for confidentiality to be broken
  2. Where the therapist is compelled by a court of law
  3. Where the information is of a nature that confidentiality cannot be maintained, for example:
  4. The possibility of harm to yourself or others exists
  5. In cases of fraud or crime
  6. When minors (under 18 years old) are involved
  7. Where a referring GP or other healthcare professional requires a report. A copy of the report will be available on request.

 

Hypnotherapy Audio Recordings

Hypnotherapy MP3 recordings should not be listened to whilst driving, operating machinery or undertaking any other activity where concentration is required.

 

Concerns & Complaints

If you have a concern or complaint regarding your therapy, please discuss this with myself in the first instance and I will endeavour to resolve the issue. In the unlikely event that your issue is not resolved, you can also access the National Hypnotherapy Society’s complaints procedure, details of which are published on their website.


Therapy Outcome

The agreement to work on the issues presented by you, in no way implies or guarantees the resolution of your presenting issue(s). However, I will endeavour to use my best efforts and skills to work towards your therapeutic goals.


Standards of Behaviour

During the course of any therapy sessions, I will treat you with respect and not abuse the trust you place in me. I will use best practice at all times in our mutual interest. In return, you undertake not to harm yourself, or any other person, including me, or any property belonging to either me or any other person. 


You agree not to attend sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, except those medications which have been prescribed by your doctor. If you do attend any sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, or demonstrate violent or abusive behaviour, I will cancel the session and may refuse to see you for any further therapy sessions.
