Peaceful Place Hypnotherapy – Terms and Conditions
*Covid 19: Please do not attend if you have any symptoms – Cough/Temperature/Loss of taste or smell/ feel unwell in any way.
Please read my terms and conditions before coming for your first session as I will be asking you to sign when you first attend for therapy.
Length of Sessions:
Standard Session (approx. 1 hour) – £65
Stopping Smoking session (1-2 hours) – £130
Payment:
Payment can be made by cash, cheque or bank transfer at your first session.
Cancellation and refund policy:
Time is spent preparing your therapy plan prior to your visit.
For this reason, if you do not attend for your appointment as arranged, a fee may still be due.
If you need to change your appointment or cancel please give me at least 24 hours notice.
Illness or accident will of course be taken into consideration.
If you are unwell, or have anything infectious, please get in touch to reschedule (unless you have booked an online session). Even if this is within the 24 hours prior to the appointment.
Lateness:
If you arrive late/ log online late you will only receive the remainder of your session time, unless I can provide a full session. Full payment will still be required for the session you booked even if it is shorter due to your lateness.
Outcomes following a session:
Hypnotherapy involves your participation too.
Positive results may be noticed immediately, or sometimes take a few days or longer as your mind processes the new ways and ideas.
Therapy is based on the information you give me, so please ensure this is as complete and as truthful as possible.
Levels of success and numbers of sessions may vary, and as with other therapies a particular outcome can not be guaranteed.
Termination of treatment by me:
Abusive and anti social behaviour will not be tolerated. If this occurs then treatment will immediately be discontinued and no refunds given.
I may also terminate your treatment if you repeatedly cancel or are late.
Termination of treatment by you:
You are able to terminate a course of treatment at any time. Refunds would be at my discretion.
Please be aware that instant results are not always noticed following treatment, your commitment and motivation are also vital in addition to therapy.
You may also choose to put sessions on hold due to changes in circumstances, and restart at a more appropriate time.
Illness:
Please phone me to reschedule if you have any type of illness which could be passed to me, even if this is on your appointment day.
If I am unwell, I will contact you to reschedule.
Success of treatment:
A successful outcome depends on not only the hypnotherapy treatment given, but also on your participation and motivation. This particularly applies to weight loss and stop smoking therapy.
For this reason no refunds will be given for treatment already given.
If you have a complaint, or are not happy about your treatment then please contact me first by e-mail vanessa@peacefulplacehypnotherapy.com so we can hopefully resolve any issue quickly.
