Standard Terms of Therapy
(1) After your free intro session a re-referral may be required in the following instances; (1.1) If what you are looking for in a therapist is beyond the scope of my competence. (1.2) If it appears that you would be suited to another therapist who practices an alternative model that would be of more therapeutic benefit to you. (1.3) If it becomes apparent that you and / or me (your therapist) do not feel suited to work together. This will be discussed upfront during your free intro session if these matters arise. (2) I do not provide therapy to clients who have been required to undergo therapy either by a court order or by any other authority. (3) The work is being undertaken in accordance with the laws of the therapists own country (The United Kingdom) and any disputes will be subject to that country’s law. (4) To ensure safety your therapist will require your GP to be aware in the instance of an eating disorder and / or a long standing health condition.
Contracting & Professional Standards
I work to a contract with clients, this ensures a clearly defined experience of therapy, that we are safe in our work and ensures professional and competent practice. The contract is to be read, understood and signed after your initial free intro session upon the mutual agreement that we will work together.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy I am bound by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions (2018), Online and Phone Therapy (OPT) Competence Framework (2021), Professional Standards, Codes of Conduct and Personal Moral Qualities. My Professional Liability Insurance is with Towergate Professional Risks.
