Terms & Conditions

what we're agreeing to

These terms and conditions outline my commitments to you as your therapist, but also your commitments to me as a client. If you have any questions about any of these points, please get in touch.

1.3. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy relies on the commitment and motivation of both the therapist and client to gain the best results. Part of the therapy occurs in the therapy room (or online), and part involves through reflection and tasks at home, including listening to the hypnotherapy audio recording at appropriate times.
