In the first instance, please get in touch so that we can discuss why you are seeking therapy. If we mutually agree that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is right for you, then at this point we can arrange an initial consultation. If I feel that Your Therapy Partner is not the most appropriate form of therapy for you, then I can suggest alternatives.
The first ssession is classed as an initial consultation. During this session I will gather some important information from you. Including your details, why you are interested in using the services of Your Therapy Partner and what you are hoping to achieve. I will also offer an explanation of how the brain works, including why we can feel the way we do and also what can be done to change this. The initial consultation will last between 45-60 mins. The fee for this initial consultation will be deducted from your first therapy session should you choose to proceed.
After the initial consultation sessions are 60 minutes long. Appointment times can be discussed and mutually agreed throughout.
The average number of sessions required is between 6-12, though this does depend on individual need and what help is being sort for. For example phobia work requires a total of 3 sessions after the initial consultation.
I endeavour to meet the needs of my clients and understand that face to face session are not always possible, so online session are also available at Your Therapy Partner. This flexible approach, means that less limitations are placed on who has access to our services.
Confidentiality is maintained at all times in accordance with the NCH Code of Ethics and Conduct. This means that everything we discuss will be kept completely confidential, unless you disclose something which suggests you're at risk of harming yourself or someone else. In the event that I do need to break confidentiality, I will discuss the details with you wherever possible.
I understand that sometimes plans might change and will try to be flexible where possible. If you do need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, 24 hours’ notice is required. Failure to do so, will result in the full fee being payable.
You can find the full terms and conditions of working together here, but if you have a specific question that hasn't been answered then please get in touch using the contact page.
