Cancellation Policy
When booking an appointment you are booking and reserving my time. If an individual decides to work within a therapeutic relationship with me and enter a contract an hour is reserved for that individual on a weekly basis and that time is reserved and allocated for that individual's therapeutic work.
My time is valuable to me therefore I require ONE WEEK'S notice when cancelling an appointment or the full fee is payable. This applies to all appointments and is non negotiable. This ensures true commitment to the Self and the smooth scheduling of appointments.
While Psychotherapy is a therapeutic relationship it is also a business transaction whereby individuals engaging in Therapy are purchasing a service. Anyone who is unable to agree to the above policies is free to terminate their reservation of their reserved Psychotherapeutic hour at anytime. I - the Therapist also reserve the right to terminate the reservation of the Psychotherapeutic hour held weekly for individuals engaging in Therapy if any of these boundaries enforcing financial policy are violated/broken.
Honesty, courtesy and respect are key. The above policies must be adhered to, respected and if broken are considered a therapeutic boundary violation.
I value and respect the time of individuals that I work with and expect the same in return.
People are free to leave the therapeutic relationship if they do not agree with the policies.
Agencies and Charities
All of the above policies apply to the individual attending.
All accounts must be settled on the day by the agency or charity paying for the individual's Psychotherapy. .
The terms and conditions of my cancellation policy are non negotiable. No exceptions will be made.
Confidentiality Policy
Confidentiality is adhered to at all times except in the following cases - Client Safety & Child Protection.
Client safety: If there is cause for concern regarding the safety of a client (suicidal intent).
Child protection: If the is cause for concern regarding the safety of children.
Like other professions Psychotherapy is governed by Irish Law and Children First 2011.
It is not normally necessary to send text messages, emails or to call between sessions unless by prior agreement or if a client is running late for a scheduled appointment. In general, if the therapist sees any client in a public or social setting, the therapist refrains from engaging in conversation in order to protect client confidentiality.
The service provided is private therapy.
Fees for Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Counselling vary. Please phone 087-7725567 to enquire.
In certain cases/instances an online Invoice will be issued to secure appointments - e.g. prior cancellation has been made and re-booking is desired etc. Until the fee is paid no appointment may be considered booked.
