Our Service

The service I provide may be based on goal(s) that you want to address specific to you personally and pertaining to the general conditions of your life. You will be asked what these are by myself at the start of your therapy. Your comfort, safety and progress is of paramount importance to me, please continue to discuss with me what you wish to gain from our work together during each session. I may ask for your feedback and views on how you feel your therapy is progressing, and hope you are able to respond openly and honestly. Progress will be monitored throughout the duration of your sessions. Working toward stated goals requires effort, openness and active involvement on your part.

Reconsolidationtherapy.ca makes no claim that all clients will experience an improvement of their condition, feelings, thoughts or symptoms. Therefore Reconsolidationtherapy.ca makes no claims of specific results.

Reconsolidationtherapy.ca makes no guarantee of what you will experience or how you will feel during or after using this service. This service may involve remembering or talking about unpleasant events, feelings, or thoughts that may result in you feeling upset, uncomfortable, disappointed, angry, sad, worried, fearful, anxious, depressed etc.  I may challenge some of your assumptions or perceptions or propose different ways of looking at, thinking about, or handling situations.  I may use various techniques during the sessions, if you are agreeable.  I will explain the rationale to you beforehand, and if you would like to know more about the approaches I use I am happy to discuss this with you.

Sessions

The “therapy hour” typical duration of a session is approximately 60 minutes including time to settle in to the session as well as finish up the session and leave. In some situations I may offer longer sessions such as a 90 minutes, Reconsolidation Treatment, EMDR, Breathwork, family or couples session. This is standard practice.  Sessions are typically scheduled on the hour or the half-hour.

Attendance to Sessions

Please remember this is a course of Therapy that you committed to undertake at your free will.  The work is taken seriously and is in place to help you build a better life for yourself.  It is with this in mind that we have these strict conditions attached to the sessions, which have been well received by my committed clients.

Due to the demand for session times, no sessions will be booked in advance until advance payment has been made.  It is your responsibility to ensure that you attend the sessions booked in a timely manner.

If you fall ill or have a valid reason for not attending sessions you MUST contact me and let me know so that a cancellation fee does not occur.  24 hours prior notice to the time of the appointment is necessary to prevent a 50% cancellation fee being incurred.

Should you be unable to attend your counselling or coaching session for any reason, video conferencing sessions may be arranged.  These are charged at the same rate as face to face consultations.  Face to face counselling is the preferred option however.

Your session is scheduled at the mutual convenience of the therapist and the client. Wherever possible the day and time for the next session will be scheduled at the close of each therapy session.  Please arrive on time for all your appointments, if you do happen to be late, you will only receive the remaining time for that session.

Your therapist has the right to cancel an appointment.  Though this is rare, as much notice as possible will be given.  Your session will be re-booked at the next available appointment convenient to you.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.  If a client arrives under the influence of alcohol, drugs or becomes abusive or aggressive before or during the session, we reserve the right to cancel that session immediately and that session will still be charged for.

Notes may be taken during the session by the therapist, these are purely for the therapist’s benefit only to support the work in the session, and will remain the property and responsibility of the therapist throughout the sessions.  Notes may be made available via the Freedom of Information Act (1992) upon your request.

Your comfort, safety and progress in the sessions is of paramount importance to me, please discuss with me what you wish to gain from our work together during each session. Progress will be monitored throughout the duration of your sessions.

You have every opportunity to view and discuss these Terms and Conditions before and during therapy and they cannot, therefore, be disputed should they not be adhered to.

Confidentiality

All information disclosed within sessions and any written communications and records pertaining to those sessions are confidential and are not be revealed to anyone without your written permission, except where disclosure is required by law, if there is significant risk of harm to others or if there are concerns about the safety of a child or vulnerable adult.

Additionally, all therapists are required by the ethical standards set by the profession to discuss their work with a qualified Supervisor. However,  individual clients are not  identified in such discussions which are intended to support the therapist in their work.

There are some situations where the therapist is required to disclose information of appointment times without your authorisation. These include but are not limited to:

1. Court order for information about your psychotherapy if you are involved in litigation, having mandated counselling or any forensic matters
2. If a client files a complaint or lawsuit against a therapist.
3. Worker’s compensation claim details of appointments
4. If the client is a minor the parents have the right to information and the clinical record

Harm to Self or Others

If your personal safety, or there is the possibility of you injuring someone else, or if you are receiving proper psychiatric or medical care, the therapist must do whatever they can within the limits of the law, to prevent you from injuring yourself or others and to ensure that you receive the proper care. For this purpose, the therapist may need to contact the police, hospital or an emergency contact whose name you have provided at the commencement of the counselling.  This is, however, very rare and in any circumstances like this, your therapist will make every reasonable effort to discuss the situation with you first and limit the disclosure to what is necessary.

These include but are not limited to:

1. Suspected or known child abuse/neglect
2. Suspected or known elder abuse, neglect, exploitation or isolation
3. Risk of imminent serious harm to another
4. Risk of imminent serious harm to yourself

Dual Relationships

A dual relationship is one where your personal life coincides with the professional relationship you have with your therapist. If you happen to meet your therapist in some other capacity – for example because you live locally or know some of the same people – your therapist will keep appropriate boundaries and will not let it be known that you are their client.

However, sexual involvement between therapist and client is never part of the therapy process as well as other actions or dual relationship situations that might impair your therapist’s objectivity, clinical judgement, or therapeutic effectiveness or that could be exploitative in nature. In addition, they will never acknowledge working therapeutically with anyone without his/her written permission other than in the rare circumstances outlined in our privacy statement.  In some instances, even with permission, your therapist will preserve the integrity of the working relationship.  For this reason, your therapist will not accept any invitations via social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin or Pinterest.

Mutual Non-Disclosure

Reconsolidationtherapy.ca and you mutually recognise that we may discuss future plans, business affairs, customer lists, financial information, job information, goals, personal information, and other private information. We will not voluntarily communicate your information to a third party. In order to honour and protect our intellectual property, you likewise agree not to disclose or communicate information about our practice, materials, or methods to any third parties.

Litigation Limitation

Due to the nature of the therapeutic process and the fact that it often involves making a full disclosure with regard to many matters which may be of a confidential nature, it is agreed that should there be legal proceedings (such as but not limited to divorce and custody disputes, injuries, lawsuits, etc.), neither you nor your legal representative, nor anyone else acting on your behalf will call on myself to testify in court or at any other proceeding, nor will a disclosure of the counselling records be requested.
