Terms Conditions & Privacy Statement

Ronda Pearce Counselling, Psychotherapy & Trauma Informed Yoga MBACP (Accredited) MA BA PG Cert YTT 200

Welcome

Please Read Carefully

By participating in therapy, it is an acknowledgement that you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions in this contract, please read carefully.

Therapy

I am a BACP Accredited (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy). I am bound by its code of ethics and practice.

I work using different types of talking therapies forming an integrated growth model of counselling and therapy. I will use humanistic and person- centred approaches and some psychodynamic and solution focussed concepts within my work. I also qualified in EMDR and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. In the first session I will explain, and we can agree which modality will best meet your needs. I also offer trauma informed yoga to enable you to learn the skills to regulate your body and mind, helpful if you are struggling with body feelings from anxiety, loss or the effects of a traumatic experience. Yoga is evidenced based and can help you feel better quicker. Separate terms apply.

Please note that I am based in England and as such this contract and the sessional work is bound by and subject to English Law. This applies if you reside in a country other than England.

Recordings are not permitted.

Please note I will not see you if you are under the influence of/dependent on alcohol and/or drugs. I will not see you in person if you are visibly ill (for example a cough), this is to protect other clients and myself.

Life and business can throw curved balls at times, but the aim is for both the therapist and client to stick with the allocated appointments time slot. I will inform you as soon as I can if I need to make any changes to our session times. I do require a 48-hour notice period for all cancellations, unattended booked sessions will be charged at the full rate.

You may end therapy at any time you wish, however I usually offer a scheduled ending session one week after the end of therapy which is helpful for reflection and gives time to complete a plan to help
you maintain progress. If you do not attend a session, and I receive no contact from you within 7 days I will discharge you.

I receive regular clinical supervision on occasion I may ask your permission to record sessions (You will not be in full view, only audio recording). This is to ensure a quality service and helps to improve my practice.

I offer virtual and face to face sessions for your convenience. I am based in The Park, Nottingham City.

All information discussed will remain confidential unless in rare circumstances
were decreed by law or to prevent harm to the client or to someone else; I have a duty of care to contact other services such as GP or police without your consent.

Payment is made weekly for subsequent sessions within 24 hours of booking the appointment. I accept block bookings.
