Consent Form

This document is designed to inform you about your rights and responsibilities while participating in this counselling service.


Confidentiality

All discussions during the session and any notes taken by the coach, therapist, or psychologist will remain confidential.

Exceptions to confidentiality may arise for legal and/or ethical reasons – for example, if there are concerns about your safety (or the safety of others) we may, at our discretion, find it necessary to inform other professionals, such as your doctor or psychiatrist, or any other psychologist/therapist/coach that you might be working with.

We will always strive to discuss any potential disclosures with you first in the first instance.


Automatic Transcription

For the purpose of record-keeping and to enhance the quality of our support, sessions may be automatically transcribed. These transcriptions will be treated with the same level of confidentiality as the session itself.


Fees and Payment

Sessions are provided at the agreed-upon fee, which may be subject to periodic review.

Payment for each session is expected prior to the session via our online payment system unless other arrangements have been made or you have booked a complimentary session.

Please inform us promptly if any issues arise regarding your ability to make timely payments.


Coaching Sessions and Cancellation

Coaching sessions are conducted online via our platform, Sessions.us, or Zoom Meetings, and last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your booking.

Sessions will begin and end at the scheduled time. They cannot be extended due to early or late arrival/login.

Sessions that are cancelled or rescheduled will not incur a fee if you notify us at least 48 hours in advance. If you cancel or reschedule on the day of the session, we reserve the right to charge the full session fee.

No-shows without any notice will be considered as a booked session and will be charged in full.

We will provide you with as much notice as possible regarding our own absences or holidays.
