Therapy Agreement

The Therapy Agreement is at the roots of all the work that happens between us. This contract helps to establish the mutual trust, stable structure and appropriate conditions that are necessary to support your growth.

Our Relationship

You and I will both be active counterparts in your therapeutic process, forming a strong, honest and reciprocal working alliance.  

Sessions

Therapy may last from 4 to 40+ sessions. Meeting typically every 1-3 weeks.

Breaks and Ending Therapy

Discuss breaks or ending therapy in a session, not by email. Option for one or two final sessions.

Confidentiality

Everything we discuss is confidential within ethical, legal, and professional limits. I may share non-identifying information in supervision, research, or training to improve therapy quality and professional standards. I will only break confidentiality in exceptional cases according  to safeguarding procedures. Your details are protected by a strict privacy policy. In the event that I am unable to continue therapy, a clinical will is in place to release your contact details to a trusted colleague, and you will be contacted with options for continuing or seeking alternative support.

Communication

Feedback 

Feedback is warmly welcomed. We can both learn and increase understanding together.

Lateness and Cancellations

Sickness

Please rest if sick and inform me. I will do the same if unwell.

Emergencies

For urgent help, contact a trusted person or emergency services. This service isn’t for crisis intervention.

Fees and Payment

Financial Assistance

Ethics

I adhere to BACP and NCPS ethics, and attend training and supervision in order to maintain good professional standards and develop my practice.
