Introduction

By booking and attending hypnotherapy sessions with Jenny Mellenchip, you agree to the following terms and conditions. These are designed to ensure that you receive the best possible care, while also outlining your rights and responsibilities as a client.

  1. Services Provided

Jenny Mellenchip offers hypnotherapy services aimed at helping clients with a variety of concerns, including but not limited to anxiety, stress management, smoking cessation, weight loss, and personal development. These services are delivered in a professional and confidential manner to ensure the best possible results.

  1. Confidentiality
  • Confidentiality Agreement: All information disclosed during therapy sessions and consultations will remain confidential, as required by law and ethical standards.
  • Reporting Obligations: The therapist has a professional duty to report any concerns to relevant authorities if there is a belief that the client may harm themselves, others, or the therapist. This will be done in line with ethical and legal obligations.
  • Consultation with Other Professionals: If necessary, the hypnotherapist may need to consult with other health or treatment practitioners about the client’s case, but only with the client’s explicit permission.
  • Supervision: On occasion, aspects of your case may be discussed with a professional supervisor for training or supervisory purposes. Any discussions will be completely anonymous, and client confidentiality will be maintained at all times.
  1. Client Responsibilities
  • Health Disclosure: If you are receiving medical treatment of any kind, it is strongly recommended that you inform your therapist about your diagnosis and any treatments you are undergoing. This will help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the hypnotherapy treatment.
  • Commitment to the Process: While belief in the treatment is not essential for success, your willingness and commitment to change are key factors in achieving positive outcomes. It is important that you actively participate and follow any recommendations, including listening to relaxation recordings between sessions and engaging with the content of your therapy.
  1. Treatment Consent
  • Treatment Explanation: Before commencing treatment, you will be fully informed of the procedures involved in your therapy, and you must agree to proceed with treatment as explained.
  • Self-Motivation: The success of your treatment is dependent on your desire to change. Active collaboration and commitment to the therapeutic process are required.
  • Consent to Treatment: By attending your first session, you are confirming that you understand and accept the terms of the therapy, including the treatment process, costs, and any associated requirements.
  1. Fees and Payment
  • Payment for Services: The fee for each hypnotherapy session will be clearly communicated via the website at the time of booking. This will be reinforced during the initial consultation or at the start of the smoking cessation session
  • Cancellation Policy: You must provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Failure to do so will result in a charge of 100% of the session fee. This is to ensure that time is reserved for your session, to respect the therapist’s schedule and to allow other clients to fill the vacancy if no longer needed.
  • Non-return of Signed Client Agreement: By booking a hypnotherapy appointment, you agree to be bound by these terms, even if a signed copy of the client agreement is not returned.
  1. Professional Conduct
  • Respectful Environment: Both the therapist and the client agree to maintain a respectful and professional environment at all times during the therapeutic process. The therapist will treat all clients with care and respect, and clients are expected to do the same.
  1. Data Protection and GDPR Compliance
  • Data Privacy: Your personal information is protected by data privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A full copy of how your data is processed and stored, along with your rights concerning it, are available and will be provided separately.
  • Data Usage: Your personal data will only be used for the purposes of your treatment and communication about services and will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
  1. Code of Practice
  • Association Membership: Jenny Mellenchip is a registered member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and complies with its Code of Practice. This code generally aligns with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), a Department of Health supported register.
  • Availability of the Code: A full copy of the Code of Practice is available upon request.
  1. Limitation of Liability
  • Hypnotherapy as Complementary Treatment: Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical treatment. You should consult with a healthcare professional before beginning therapy if you are currently receiving treatment or have any concerns.
  • Liability: The therapist will provide services to the best of their ability but cannot be held liable for the outcome of the therapy, as success depends on multiple factors, including the client’s participation and commitment to the process.
  1. Governing Law
  • These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in England and Wales.
  1. Amendments
  • Changes to Terms: The therapist reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. Any significant changes will be communicated to clients in advance. Your continued use of services after any changes indicates your acceptance of those changes.
