Claire Rich Therapy offers a 'Free Initial Consultation' to all our potential clients with absolutely no obligation. This first meeting gives you the opportunity to meet us in person and see if you feel comfortable talking to us.
The ‘Free Initial Consultation’ can last anything from ten minutes up to half an hour. It is just an informal chat so that we can assess whether we feel we can definitely help you, and the best way for us to work together. No hypnosis is used during this initial meeting.
Therapy sessions are usually weekly and are based on a 50-minute hour (unless advised and agreed otherwise). You should therefore allow an hour at most for your session.
Please ensure that you arrive on time for your session, as the 50-minute hour begins at the agreed time and not the time the client arrives. Like all good Therapists, when we feel that a little extra time is needed, then we will give it. Please bear this in mind if you find yourself waiting a few minutes longer to start your appointment. We appreciate your patience and will be with you as soon as possible.
A ‘deposit’ is required in order to confirm your first therapy session date. The ‘deposit’ is the equivalent of one therapy session fee. The ‘deposit’ pays for your last session of therapy unless it is necessary to use it beforehand as a ‘Cancellation Fee’ (see our ‘Cancellation Policy’ below).
The ‘deposit’ is non-refundable, and is always given back to you (the client) as your ‘last session of therapy’, whenever that may be. Occasionally a client may decide to end their therapy early for whatever reason and that is entirely their prerogative. However, in this instance, the client should always advise their Therapist either before or at the session they intend to be their last, so that they are not charged for it. The ‘initial deposit’ will then be used to pay for this last session of therapy with us.
FeesWe will confirm the exact session fee at your ‘Free Initial Consultation’ once we have assessed how we plan to work with you. This will then be put in writing to you along with a copy of our ‘Therapy Session Payment Terms and Conditions’. The fee we have agreed will be due at your first session of therapy and subsequent sessions thereafter.
Cash, cheque, credit and debit cards are all accepted methods of payment. All cheques should be made payable to ‘Claire Rich Therapy’.
Should you find you are unable to make your appointment for any reason, please telephone us on (01245) 444105 / 07734 059610 at least 48 hours beforehand so that we can reschedule, otherwise your deposit will be used as a cancellation fee. Should this be the case, another deposit will be required before therapy can recommence.
For Example: If your therapy session is usually at 1:00pm on a Tuesday, please telephone us by 1:00pm at the latest the Sunday before if you need to cancel and reschedule. As in this instance, if you are calling outside of office hours, you should leave a message on our answer machine.
All therapy session cancellations should be made by telephone (not via text message or email), as this is the speediest and most efficient method of communication. If you do get our answer machine, please leave us a message so that we can get back to you as soon as we are free.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a client’s therapy session at any time. In the unlikely event that this should be necessary, we will always endeavour to give you as much notice as possible.
Due to strict client confidentiality regulations, please note that we are unable to talk to anyone about you and your therapy. It is therefore essential that any contact including therapy session cancellations and rescheduling be made personally by you (the client).
Our Therapists are not qualified to provide medical advice about health problems and nothing in the content of this website constitutes any form of medical advice. All information should be regarded as complementary to, not a substitute for, conventional medical advice and healthcare.
We advise all our clients to consult their GP or relevant Medical Practitioner before undergoing any form of treatment, therapy or otherwise. It is important to identify whether the contributory factors to your problem are mainly physiological, psychological or a combination of the two. Once a medical diagnosis has been given, we can work out the best treatment plan for you with a view to achieving the most realistic, successful outcome from your therapy.
Doctor’s LetterWe work in conjunction with our clients' GPs, Medical Practitioners and Specialists. Please note that when clients present with problems that have physical symptoms, in particular illnesses of a physiological origin, we may require a letter from their Doctor. Written consent is always obtained from the client first before any direct contact is made.
Please note that each client's therapy is a unique and personal experience, therefore the effects and results differ from client to client. Like most other therapies, Hypnotherapy cannot promise anyone a 100% guarantee of a cure.
