CODE OF CARE

Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy focusses on establishing realistic future goals and coping mechanisms to achieve the client's desired positive change .  The client is supported and in control of their treatment at all times.  As part or the    treatment you will be given a sleep download to listen to before you go to sleep.  You are advised to listen to this recording regularly as it has a positive impact on the process of your therapy.  Always listen in a safe secure place and not whilst driving or operating machinery.

The client will be treated with respect and care at all times.

Disclosure of all information during therapy and consultations remains confidential with the following exceptions:

If the client has cause to harm themselves, therapist or others.

If a potential conflict of treatment arises, practitioners may have to be sought where relevant with client knowledge.

In a supervision session where a client's progress may be discussed anonymously.

I cannot provide medical advise or medical diagnosis.  If receiving medical treatment of any kind, it is recommended that proper diagnosis is sought where relevant, to assist the therapist and also to inform those professionals of your enquires toward Hypnotherapy.

My highest standards of care comply with the code of conducts of all professional bodies to which I am registered which are AfSFH  (Association for Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy) and NCH (National Council for Hypnotherapy). 

TREATMENT CONSENT

The therapist has fully explained the procedures and treatment, together with any self-help on my part.

I accept the fee discussed and payable and note the 24 hour notice of cancellation of the appointment that is required, otherwise half the fee will be charged.

I understand that Hypnotherapy may involve light touch on occasion, but only in regard to assisting individuals on or off furniture or for using equipment such as a GSR meter if applicable.  Full clothing is retained at all times.  Respect for me, the client and body privacy will be constantly maintained.

The Therapist reserves the right to refuse or postpone treatment if they feel threatened or disrespected.

I have read the agreement above and accept the treatment on those terms.
