Terms of use
Please read these terms and conditions which apply to the provision of my professional services. By making an appointment, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. If you are unable or unwilling to agree to these terms and conditions, then you should not book an appointment or continue with your course of therapy.
FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION
You may be offered a free 30-minute online initial consultation. No therapy will be provided during the consultation.
The purpose of this initial consultation is to see what issue would you like to work on and if we can work together. During these calls, estimates of the number of sessions required to deal with your presenting issue are given on the basis of the information presented at that time. Estimates are only rough guidelines and are subject to change.
BOOKING & PAYMENT
In-person sessions: €350 is payable at the time of booking your first in-person session. The balance of the fee is due at least 3 working days prior to the first session. No refunds will be issued for cancellations within 48 hours of the session appointment.
Online sessions: No deposit is required for online sessions, however payment for online sessions must be made at least 3 working days before the scheduled session start time.
Where payment is not received within the above-mentioned timeframe, the session will be canceled and may be offered to someone else. It is your responsibility to pay the session fees before each scheduled session in order to confirm the appointment booking
CANCELLATION, RESCHEDULING & REFUNDS
Cancellation & rescheduling
If you need to cancel or re-schedule a session, please provide as much notice as possible. Notification must be made via email at least 48 hours prior to an in-person or an online session
Refunds
No refunds will be issued for cancellations within 48 hours of in-person or online sessions.
Session fees are for my time and professional expertise and are not a guarantee of a successful outcome. Therefore, no refunds will be given for any sessions where you have attended and paid for the session. Where a discount package or therapy program has been booked and paid for in advance, if you choose to discontinue your therapy process before attending all the sessions, a pro rata refund will be issued after deduction of the full standard session fee for any sessions you have attended.
Session Fees
All professional fees will be disclosed to you prior to booking. My professional fees are subject to review and may increase from time to time. You will always receive confirmation of the professional fees before booking.
Payment Methods
Payment may be made via wire transfer or PAYPAL™. Cash and cheques will not be accepted without prior agreement.
CONTACT BETWEEN SESSIONS

ATTENDING YOUR SESSIONS
Please ensure that you are available at your session start time. 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.
