Client Consent to Proceed

Thank you for choosing to work with me.

This document explains how we will work together and asks for your consent to proceed with hypnotherapy sessions. Please read it carefully.

About Hypnotherapy

Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy combines:

  • positive psychology

  • neuroscience-informed understanding of the mind

  • relaxation and guided hypnosis

The focus is on helping you move toward the future you want, rather than analysing the past.

Hypnosis is a natural and safe state of focused attention and relaxation. You remain aware and in control throughout.

You can read my professional codes of conduct here:

Confidentiality

Everything you share during sessions will be treated as confidential.

The only exceptions are where I am legally required to disclose information, such as if:

  • there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others

  • safeguarding concerns arise

  • disclosure is required by law

Record Keeping

Brief notes may be kept to support your progress and continuity of care. These are stored securely and confidentially.

For details about how your data is handled, please see the privacy policy.

Audio Recordings

You may be given relaxation or hypnosis audio recordings to use between sessions. These are for your personal use only and should not be shared or redistributed.

Medical and Psychological Care

Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment.

If you are receiving support from a GP, therapist, or medical professional, you should continue that care. You agree to inform me of any relevant changes to your health.

Client Responsibility

Progress in solution-focused work depends on:

  • regular attendance

  • listening to relaxation audios where recommended

  • willingness to engage with the process

Consent

By proceeding with sessions, you confirm that:

  • You understand the nature of hypnotherapy
