Contracting

Once you have read this document, please fill out your details and sign at the bottom of the third page. Please return this via email prior to your initial appointment or bring a signed copy with you on the day. Ensure you retain a copy for your own records. If you have any questions, I can discuss them at the beginning of your first appointment or please feel free to call.

 

Confidentiality

All sessions are treated in confidence and your information will not be shared or communicated to others in any form with the following exception: 

A therapist has a duty of care to prevent serious harm to others.  Normally this would involve discussing and agreeing with the client how this could be achieved. In the very rare occasions where there is serious and imminent risk to others, especially young people or other vulnerable groups, then I am legally obliged to take appropriate steps to help prevent harm without or without client consent. If for any reason I think it would be helpful to involve a third party, such as a parent, partner or GP, then I would discuss and agree this before making any contact, and we would agree the limits of what could be discussed with the specific people.

Under 18’s - The right to confidentiality applies to those clients under the age of 18.  The content of sessions will not be shared with parents/guardians/teachers unless there is a serious risk of harm or to ensure safeguarding.

 

Emergency contact

Emergency contacts will only be used in the case of serious illness within the session where the client is incapacitated and unable to make their own arrangements.

If you are unable to establish contact with your therapist directly for an extended period of time please email caroline@cherrytreetherapycentre.co.ukweek

 

Practicalities

Most therapeutic sessions are on a weekly basis at the same time with duration of 55 minutes.
