ILUMA THERAPY

Terms + Conditions

Medical or Psychological Conditions

I may ask questions about your medical history to establish any contra-indications to treatment. This will also help to assess whether your health is affecting (or being affected by) the therapeutic goals you wish to achieve.

If you are receiving care or treatment from any medical, healthcare or therapy practitioner, e.g. GP, Psychologist, Psychiatrist or Counselor, you may be asked to seek their permission before any therapy sessions can commence.

Please note that I will be unable to offer my professional services if you suffer from epilepsy or any form of psychosis.

Attending Your Sessions

The best environment for your session is a quiet and comfortable space where you will not be disturbed. If you are running late, please let me know as soon as possible. I will do my best to make a full session available, however, as the ability to do this will depend on bookings after your session, this cannot be guaranteed.

Hypnotherapy Recordings

Hypnotherapy recordings should not be listened to while driving, operating machinery or undertaking any other activity where concentration is required. Any recording provided is for your personal use only and must not be shared, lent, copied or sold under any circumstances.

Outcome of Sessions

The agreement to work on the issues presented by you in no way implies or guarantees the resolution of your presenting issue(s). No outcome can or will be guaranteed. However, I will always endeavor to use my best efforts and skills to work towards your goals and intended outcomes.

Standards of Behavior

During the course of any therapy sessions, I promise to treat you with respect and not abuse the trust you place in me. I will use best practice at all times in our mutual interest.

In return, you undertake not to harm yourself, or any other person, including me, or any property belonging to either me or any other person. You agree not to attend sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, except those medications which have been prescribed by your doctor. If you do attend any sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, or demonstrate violent or abusive behavior, I will cancel the session and may refuse to see you for any further sessions without refunding any payment already made.

Confidentiality

All contact, including sessions, telephone conversations and emails, will be conducted in confidence and may be recorded. Prior to any recording, your agreement will be sought. All recordings, conversations and notes will remain confidential, except in the following circumstances:

Where you give permission for confidentiality to be broken
Where I am compelled by a court of law
Where a referring GP or other healthcare professional requires a report. A copy of the report will be available on request.
Where the information is of a nature that confidentiality cannot be maintained, for example:
- The possibility of harm to yourself or others exists
- In cases of fraud or crime
- When minors (under 18 years old) are involved

In addition, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Iluma Therapy harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your participation in the professional services.
