Code of ethics plus terms and conditions
- Therapy sessions are all booked ahead of time. As a professional every client matters. I ask that you arrive around 5 minutes before our scheduled time so that we can start and end on time. The session time includes all aspects of the session, including the time taken to make further appointments, collect payment, etc. Please contact me on my mobile 0405226028 by text or phone if you are unable
to make a session, or to let me know if you are running late.
- Can you please let me know a minimum of 24 hours before the appointment if you need to reschedule or cancel and if I need to change or cancel and appointment I will give you as much notice as possible.
- All my individual sessions go for 90 minutes. Please allow yourself the one and a half hours.
- Sessions are conducted face-to-face at my clinical room in Mitcham, online or via Skype.
- I have Eftpos facilities available and accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express if you wish to pay by credit/debit card. Payment can also be made via cash, or directly into the Good Vibrations bank account.
- As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I adhere to the code of ethics set out by the professional bodies, including maintaining ongoing Supervision and Professional Development.
- It is vital that you are not under the influence of either alcohol
or recreational drugs when you attend a session. I cannot work with you effectively and I will still need to charge for my time.
- Gift Certificates are available if requested and need to be redeemed by the expiry date (12 months). They are not refundable.
- I hold full professional liability insurance.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality
is provided for all sessions. This means that your personal
information and anything that you disclose to me, or that we discuss,
will not be disclosed to a third party without your consent, unless you are going to (or I reasonably believe
that you are likely to) harm yourself or someone else.
Health Advisory
My treatments are not in any way meant as a substitute for standard medical, psychological or psychiatric treatment for serious or life-threatening conditions, such as medical trauma, surgical emergencies, bacterial infections, certain bodily “mechanical” difficulties, or thought disorders such as psychosis or schizophrenia.
My treatments are a complementary alternative
for self-healing, self-help, and/or behavioural modification. If you are
currently experiencing severe symptoms, first seek the advice and
diagnosis of a licensed Physician.
Do not stop or alter any treatment you are currently receiving without prior consent of your doctor or mental health professional.
