Code of Ethics
Boundaries
Please make me aware if there are conditions to contacting you in order to protect your safety
-
Please arrive on time - if you are late your session will still end at the agreed time due to other clients appointments. Therefore you will just have a shorter session.
-
Do not arrive more than a few minutes before your appointment time, as I may have a client just before you - I do leave a window of 10 minutes minimum, but there can be situations where this does not occur.
-
Each session will last 50 minutes. Outside of this timeframe, the only contact would be to arrange or rearrange an appointment. If you feel that you need an appointment sooner than your next booked session, then please contact me and I will do my utmost to facilitate you. However, in the case of a more immediate need, I have a page dedicated to helplines on this website.
-
Please dress appropriately for your session
-
I will treat you with respect and non-judgment, offering you a safe space. Please can you extend the same courtesy of respect and appropriate behaviour. Processing emotion is an important part of therapy and there will be opportunities to express yourself but in a safe and healthy manner.
-
It is a no smoking or vaping area, to respect other clients who will be using the same space.
-
The session will be suspended if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol as continuing will not be of benefit to you.
