COVID-19 considerations
Please read this page if you are considering visiting us in person. Our preference is still to work online where possible but we are able to see people face to face if necessary. Please bear in mind there still may be risks, but we will be working within government and association guidelines to minimise these. Please see https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus​ for more information.

Before you arrive
Below we ask you to confirm some details, including that neither you nor any member of your household are self-isolating, or shielding, or have had any symptoms of Covid-19 in the last 14 days.

At the practice
When you arrive at the front door of the practice please text or phone to let me know you have arrived, or use the doorbell if you prefer. There will not be any other clients or staff at the practice. I will let you in and show you (from a safe distance) to a bathroom where you can wash your hands. You can then come through to the consulting room, and be seated at a distance of more than 2 meters from me, on seating which has been appropriately cleaned and protected. You can sit comfortably there for the duration of the session, including the hypnosis.

Leaving the practice
Before leaving the practice you will be able to use the bathroom and wash your hands, and I will show you to the door. You will not need to handle or touch anything (except the soap and a disposable towel) for the duration of your visit. If you have any questions please ask at any time.

What we will be doing to help manage the risks

• Deep cleaning the practice and disinfecting contact surfaces between each visit
• Providing hand-washing facilities and using this myself between visits
• Reducing surfaces and objects and maintaining physical distance of more than 2 meters at all times
• Wearing a mask if requested
• Keeping the number of client visits to a minimum. There will never be more than one client on site at the same time and there will be at least a half-hour between each visit. During this time the relevant surfaces will be disinfected.
• Keeping loose items like leaflets, drinks, books and pens to a minimum
• Managing payment and bookings online
• Regularly checking advice from government and professional bodies

If you do decide to visit us in person we will ask you to agree to the following points, and give your consent by filling in your details in the form below.
