Agreement and Consent:

Before your initial hypnotherapy session, a signed agreement acknowledging the accuracy of the provided information and your consent to participate is required.

Session Overview:

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation, visualization, and suggestions to help achieve goals, complementing medical or psychological treatment. If under the care of another practitioner, permission may be sought to contact them.

Services Limitations:

Services cannot be provided to individuals with epilepsy or psychosis. Treatment operates on faith based on the information provided.

Session Participation:

Sessions aim to support well-being and growth. Your genuine intentions and active participation are valued. Discussions on preferences and the potential exploration of personal memories and emotions are encouraged. You may decline to answer uncomfortable questions.

Physical Contact:

Physical contact, with consent, may occur for relaxation and hypnosis. Your right to decline such contact is respected.

Charges, Cancellations, and Refunds:

Appointment Charges:

Session prices will be made clear to you on booking. Please understand that you will be charged the full session price settled at each session’s conclusion.

Cancellation Policy:

Full session price billed for no-shows without prior notification. There is a $75 NZ dollars cancellation fee for less than 24 hours’ notice. No fee if over 24 hours’ notice is given. Refunds are not provided for attended sessions. Pro-rata refund for discontinued packages after deducting standard session fees.

Service Termination:

Deliberate misleading or attempts to harm reputation may lead to service termination, with outstanding fees owed.

Age Restriction:

Clients must be at least 18 years old for online sessions. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and will only be seen in person.

Standards of Behaviour:

Attendance requires sobriety, respect for self and others, and a serious commitment to therapy. Violent, abusive, or anti-social behaviour may result in session cancellation.

Permitted Use:

Content on this website is meant for your personal viewing and retention only.  No duplication, publication, or distribution can be made without my specific authorization.

Links and Search Results:

I have no control over third-party links and do not guarantee content accuracy, legality, or inoffensiveness. I offer no endorsement of third-party content. Please use the site at your own risk.

Privacy and Confidentiality:

Your information, including contact details and website use, is confidential. I won’t disclose anything without your express permission except in your best interests or exceptional circumstances (e.g., court orders or risk of harm). Respect for my privacy is appreciated. Details about me, my family, or my residence are confidential.

Ensure updated contact details during treatment. If I need to contact you at home or work to change an appointment and I cannot speak to you, I will leave only a name and number, stating that the call is personal.

Anonymous case histories may be shared for professional development. Audio recordings may be used in supervision, with your optional consent.

Disclaimer:

Ensuring the best outcomes in hypnotherapy is a collaborative effort where guarantees remain elusive. Your active participation is crucial, and hypnotherapy is designed to complement existing support without replacing it. Your well-being is prioritized, and confidentiality is maintained unless there’s a risk.

If ever dissatisfied, don’t hesitate to express your concerns to the New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (NZAPH) or the health and disability commissioner.

While I guide and support you, post-session choices are yours to make. Success in achieving realistic goals is highly likely with the right mindset, motivation, and commitment to following instructions during and after sessions.
