Terms & Conditions

Commitment To get the best results from your therapy sessions, the commitment of both therapist and client is paramount. The time spent with your therapist is one part of your treatment and the other involves the daily use of the provided hypnotherapy recording. As the client, when you agree to undertake a course of therapy, you also agree to engage with the process. With your commitment and in working in partnership with your therapist, you will see the best results. Results of therapy may vary from person to person.

Therapy Sessions and Fees Each standard session of general therapy will last approximately 50 minutes to one hour and the agreed fee per session is stated on the fees page of my website www.belmonthypnotherapy.com/sessionprices. Fees are payable at the end of each session by cash, credit/debit card including Apple Pay or by bank transfer. If you wish, you may pay in advance. Fees are subject to change and any change will be agreed by us. By undertaking a course of therapy, you accept that I cannot guarantee the therapeutic outcome and fees are payable in consideration of my time and expertise regardless of the outcome

Appointments Your commitment to attend the appointments that we make ensures your commitment to ongoing therapy. If you cancel at short notice then you may have prevented someone else from benefiting from therapy at that particular appointment time.

Cancellation Policy My cancellation policy requires at least 24 hours notice of cancellation by telephone, text or email. If an appointment is cancelled with less notice than this then the full session fee will apply. I reserve the right to cancel an appointment at my sole discretion. However, will only do so in the most exceptional circumstances and as much notice as possible will be given. I cannot accept liability for any financial or other consequences of the cancellation.

Arriving Late for an Appointment If you are going to be late then please let me know as soon as possible. I will do my best to make a full session available but this will depend on any subsequent appointments to 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.

Privacy Marketing and keeping records is an essential part of care. Records are kept for anyone I provide therapy for, or who asks for professional advice or services. Only information essential to your care will be recorded in paper and electronic format. I will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. At no time will your email address or contact details be sold or otherwise distributed to any third party. My site uses a tool which collects information on the pages you visit and passes elements of this to search engines to assist them in indexing my site. It also uses cookies.

Confidentiality At all times, I will keep as confidential all information recorded about you and use it only for the purpose for which it was given . I will only use information about you to continue your care or for purposes where you have given specific permission to use it. Exceptions to this include; If you reveal you intend to harm yourself or another person. If you reveal that a child is being or is in danger of abuse. If the therapist is compelled to reveal information by a court order. If you reveal that you are a member of a terrorist organisation - this must be reported to the police. If you reveal you are laundering money from the sale of drugs - this must be reported to the police. In order to ensure continued best practice, I receive regular clinical supervision of my work with clients. During supervision it may be necessary to review your therapy but any reference that could allow you to be identified is removed.

Standards of Behaviour I undertake to provide therapy for you with respect and not to abuse the trust you place in me. I will use best practise 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 either to me or any other person. You agree not to come to your sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, except medications prescribed by your doctor. If you do come to a session under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs or demonstrate violent/abusive behaviour, I reserve the right to cancel the session and refuse any further therapy sessions.
