Treatment Consent
- The therapist has explained the treatment plan to my satisfaction.
- I understand that I will need to listen to the relaxation MP3 on a regular basis (not whilst driving or using machinery) and to consider the content of the sessions, in order to enhance the success of the treatment.
- Although my belief in my ability to change is not so important, I do understand that the success of the treatment is linked to my desire to change and therefore my commitment to attending sessions regularly.
- I accept the fee payable and note that 24 hours’ notice is required if an appointment needs to be rearranged, to avoid a cancellation charge of 50% – 100%.
- I accept that any fees paid in advance are non-refundable.
- I understand that if I arrive late for an appointment, the session may have to be shortened.
- Mutual respect between the customer and the therapist will be constantly maintained.
- I understand that due to the trance work being online and at my home, it is possible that I may fall asleep. If I am worried about this, I will set an alarm for 75 minutes after appointment start time to wake me up. I will also make sure I am in a comfortable and safe place to carry out the session.
