Terms and Conditions
for Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy
We understand that it is not easy to seek help with regard to mental health concerns.
The acceptance of the need for help must come from the person seeking counselling. With this informed consent for psychotherapy, you will be able to understand more about your situation and with us, work on addressing your difficulties. Let us start by filling out this informed consent form.
About the Therapist
The therapist is a qualified mental health care professional specialising in individual therapy for more than 8 years. They practice through an eclectic approach.
About the Sessions
The length of each session is one hour and clients are charged on an hourly basis. The number of sessions which will be required will be decided mutually by the therapist and client depending on the severity of concerns. The consultation session will be charged 1500rs. Hypnotherapy Sessions are 2500rs. There is a 10% reduction in charges if you pay for four sessions at once. In case of dire financial concerns, the fees can be negotiated.
Relationship
The relationship between the therapist and client is strictly professional. Any other relationship such as business or personal relationships that a client may have with a therapist may prevent or undermine the effectiveness of the treatment.
Confidentiality
Sessions between the therapist and the client are strictly confidential. Any notes taken by the therapist, audio recordings, video recordings during therapy shall be kept confidential and secure by the therapist at all times and shall not disclose it to anyone without any prior written consent by the client/patient, with exception to certain limitations by law such as:
1. Abuse to a child, disabled, elderly, other people;
2. Criminal Acts;
3. Sexual Abuse;
4. Acts which may involve the transmission of HIV/AIDS;
5. Any other instance where the therapist has a duty or he or she has a firm belief that there is a necessity to disclose.
In case you have any questions regarding confidentiality, please discuss this with your therapist.
Risks
Through therapy clients learn more about themselves that they do not realize. Often, these are things that they do not like. These are the things that they need to first, accept that they are or what they have or do. Growth cannot happen until these issues are accepted and confronted.
There may be a chance that during or after a session, you may feel emotionally or physically distressed. This is normal and should be part of ones healing process. A therapy's success shall depend both on the efforts of the therapist and the client.
Advantages
Therapy helps in making one open his or her awareness. This helps in the bringing of
one's personal insights and thus finds ways of coping and addressing his or her problems.
We understand that therapies can be challenging especially for those who are not willing to open up. Uncomfortable feelings are normal and are part of the process.
These frustrations and discomforts will be lessened and clients shall have a better positive outlook in managing his or her emotions. There is no firm timeline for this progress. But with working hand in hand between the client and the therapist, the progress shall be faster than realised.
