T & Cs

Yourtherapy.services and yourtherapy.website are the same.

To comply with GDPR, please only complete the form when you have paid your deposit/session, to avoid collecting information I do not require.

Please read these terms and conditions carefully, as they apply to the provision of my 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 Yourtherapy.services, Yourtherapy.website.

Free discovery call

I offer a free 20-30 minute online initial consultation. No therapy will be provided during the consultation.


The purpose of this initial consultation is to ensure the compatibility, match and suitability between client and therapist. 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 (rough guidelines, and are subject to change).

Booking and payment

It is your responsibility to pay the session fees before each scheduled session in order to confirm the appointment booking. The invoice I send you will remind you of the payment date.

Online sessions: A non-refundable 50% deposit is required for online sessions, and payment for online sessions must be made at least 48 hours before the scheduled session start time.

Where payment is not received 48 hours before your session, the session will be cancelled and may be offered to someone else.

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 72 hours prior to the first session. No refunds will be issued for cancellations within 48 hours of the session appointment.

Cancellations & rescheduling


If you need to cancel or re-schedule a session, please provide as much notice as possible. Notification must be made via email or phone call at least 48 hours prior to an in-person session or 24 hours for an online session, or the session is payable in full.

Refunds

No refunds will be issued for cancellations within 48 hours, however I may offer an alternative, at my discretion. Should there be 2 cancellations within the 48 hours period, no refund will be offered and no alternative will be offered.

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 individual session fee for any sessions you have attended, and taking in consideration all the prep work I will have done.

Session Fees

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.

An invoice is sent to you detailing the sessions you have requested.

Payment Methods

Payment may be made online via the website, or directly into my bank account. Cash and cheques will not be accepted without prior agreement.

Contact between sessions

Any contact between sessions will be by telephone, email or letter during office hours only (Saturday to Monday, 11.00 till 20.00, UK/GMT time). Please bear in mind that I am often in sessions, and I can not stop a session to answer a message. Any messages received outside of these hours will be dealt with during opening hours only.

There is a clear amount of support outside of sessions. Timings are given to you in the price list. Should you exceed those times, I may have to change the fees and ask that you purchase extra time to reflect this.

Should you require full support before the session, I offer support for anxiety, crisis, panics. I also provide extra aftercare with therapeutic boosts, add ons.

Those services are charged separately.

Medical or psychological conditions

I will ask you questions about your medical history to establish any contra-indications to treatment, or better suitability with another RTT therapist. This will also help to assess whether your health is affecting (or being affected by) the therapeutic goals you wish to achieve.

Please update me of any medical changes during your course of therapy, or if you are returning to therapy after a period of absence.

It is your responsibility to be honest about your medical history, all of it, whatever it looks like.

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.


Please note that I will be unable to offer my professional services if you suffer from epilepsy or any form of psychosis.

I however work with a UK NHS Psychiatrist, Dr N, trained in RTT, and as a Psychiatrist, Dr N is able to work with any condition. I am happy to provide his details should we feel you need this support. Furthermore, Dr N is contactable for Psychiatric Evaluation.

Age restrictions

Clients under the age of 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent/carer or guardian for face to face appointments.

Attending your session

Please ensure that you are available at your session start time. If you are running late, please let me know as soon as possible. I will do my best to make a full session available, however, as the ability to do this will depend on bookings after your session, this cannot be guaranteed.
