AGREED TERMS

1.1 You are engaging us as a Counsellor & Psychotherapist to provide a Single Session Therapy Service (“Service”) on the terms of this agreement.

1.2 You confirm that you are not receiving individual ongoing (contracted) Counselling and/or Psychotherapy with any other practitioner whilst working with us.

1.3 This contract between us will commence on the date you agree to this agreement and subject to clause 1.3 below, will continue until either the service has been delivered, or until cancelled by either party with written notice via email or phone/voicemail, as per the contact details provided above. Additionally, the scheduled session time is integral to our agreement. If you fail to attend a session without prior notification, it will be deemed as part of the service having been delivered. We reserve the right to cancel this contract at our discretion, providing written notice without specifying a particular reason.  Cancellation fees and timescales are outlined in clause 2.2.

1.4 Although the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“Regulations”) may apply to the provision of services provided under the Contract, you agree that we may commence the performance of the Contract before the end of the 14 day cancellation period referred to in the Regulations. If you instruct us to commence performance of the Contract and we have already started work on your order by the time you cancel the order, you agree to pay us any costs we have reasonably incurred in starting to perform the services. If we have provided the services in full before the expiry of the cancellation period, then you lose the right to cancel. If you cancel this agreement and we have not commenced performance of the Contract and you have made any payment in advance for services that have not been provided to you, we will refund these amounts to you. Subject to the above, you may cancel this agreement at any time within the cancellation period by one of the methods detailed in clause 1.3 in this contract. 

 

2. Session and Cancellation

2.1 Our single session therapy session (“session”) will last for a maximum of 90-minutes at the agreed day and time of booking.  The session will take place online as pre-agreed/booked, unless you are notified otherwise.

2.2 Where Sessions are held in third party venues, you agree to comply at all times with such venue’s policies and rules in relation to such venue (particularly fire safety and health and safety rules). You will be required to leave the venue if you do not comply with such policies and rules (and We shall not be obliged to refund you any amounts paid in relation to such Session).

2.3 You are responsible for your own belongings that you take to a Session and neither We nor any third party venue will be liable for any loss, damage, theft or destruction of any of your belongings.

2.4 You agree to reimburse us in full and indemnify us against any claim from any third party (and associated costs and expenses (including professional fees)) arising out of your actions or inactions while at a third party venue.

2.5 If you need to cancel the session, please do so via either: email or phone call & voicemail (our contact details are set out above).  If you cancel a session, you must pay the following cancellation fees:

(a)  50% of the full fee, if you cancel a session more than 48 hours before the start time of the session; and

(b)  the full session fee if you cancel the session on or less than 48 hours prior to the start time of the session.

Please note that these cancellation fees do not apply if the cancellation occurs within the 14-day cancellation period as detailed in clause 1.3.

2.6 If we cancel the session, we will re-schedule the session at the earliest mutually convenient time or provide a full refund.  We reserve the right to cancel this contract at our discretion, providing written notice without specifying a particular reason.

2.7 If you are late for the session, the session will still finish at the scheduled time. If you are more than 30 minutes late for a session, we may cancel the session without any obligation to refund you for that session. If we are more than five minutes late for a session, we may either extend the end time so that you receive the complete session or re-arrange the session.

2.8 You agree to complete the intake questionnaire in full before at least 48 hours before the session is due to take place.  Failure to do so will result in a session that may not be as tailored to, or productive of your needs. 

2.9 If, after receiving your completed intake questionnaire, we deem that we are not best placed to serve you with the issue(s) you wish to work on, we will inform you either in writing (email) and/or phone call to you, and offer you the opportunity to cancel the session with a full refund.
