Consent

The agreement between a client and therapist is a professional, collaborative, working relationship where the therapist offers psychological treatment using clinical evidence and research. By either submitting a referral or attending sessions, you are consenting to the treatment. 
You have the right to withdraw from the treatment at any time and you will have the opportunity to raise any concerns at any time within the sessions. 

Treatment Planning

The number of sessions and type of therapy will be guided by clinical need and rationale and will vary depending on numerous factors such as complexity and willingness of the client. Every four sessions, the therapist and service user will review the progress made and evaluate the need for more sessions. 

​Payment

The cost of sessions will be discussed prior to first session. An invoice will be sent at agreed intervals throughout therapy, and payment should be made before the next arranged appointment. If two or more sessions are completed, but have not been paid for, therapy will be discontinued. Refunds are not available for sessions that have been completed. If a session has been paid for, but not completed, a partial refund may be offered and is at the therapist's discretion.

Feedback and Complaints

You will be frequently given the opportunity to provide feedback within therapy sessions. You can provide constructive feedback at any time to your therapist. If you wish to make a complaint, please consult the BABCP's complaints procedure.

Emergencies

If, throughout the therapy process you feel as though you may be at risk to yourself or others, you must contact your GP and/or emergency services. 
Your therapist may be unable to respond to messages immediately. If you leave a message, your therapist will endeavor to contact you at the earliest opportunity, however this may take 1-2 working days.

Ethics

As an accredited therapist with the BABCP, I will adhere to the BABCP Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
