Endings. If you or your child is unhappy with any aspect of therapy, please don’t just leave – I ask that you talk to me to see if we can work it out. Even if we can’t, endings usually feel better this way. Of course, you may end therapy at any time, and I am happy to assist with referrals. It is my ethical duty to provide therapy only when I feel you are actively participating and benefiting from the sessions. I may end treatment if there have been repeated no-shows, late-cancellations or other treatment interruptions. E-MAIL/SOCIAL MEDIA: In general, text is the quickest way to reach me. I often use text to arrange/change appointments. I use the Spruce app for Hippaa compliant text, voicemail, email, and fax. I also use Clinic Source with their client portal and email appointment reminders. I do not accept friend requests or contact requests from clients on social networking sites (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) out of concern for your confidentiality and my privacy. It may also blur the boundaries of our working relationship. REFERRALS/GROUP: A referral to another provider may become necessary if it becomes clear in my opinion that you or your child's issues would be better treated by a professional with different expertise. It is unethical for me to practice beyond the level of my competence, education, training, or experience. I am not responsible for the care received from professionals to whom I refer you. Agreements made between you and I do not involve other professionals in the office suite, who each operate independent solo practices, and are not part of a group. PATIENT RIGHTS: A list of your client rights is posted in the waiting room. You have the right to ask any questions about your treatment or refuse to participate in treatment at any time. This office does not discriminate in the delivery of health care services based on race, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, religion, gender, age, mental or physical disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, medical history, evidence of insurability, or source of payment.

Endings. Counselling lasts for however many sessions as you and the counsellor feel is appropriate. If you feel that counselling is not helping it is best to try discuss this with the counsellor, if appropriate. Many of us have experienced difficult and sudden losses and if this happens in counselling and is not discussed its possible these losses might not have the opportunity to be understood and resolved. If you have concerns about the counselling ending, please discuss this with your counsellor.
Endings. Generally, after the initial sessions, we have agreed in an estimated duration of sessions to achieve your goals that are recorded in the Treatment Plan. However, it can happen you feel ready to finish counselling/therapy sooner. If this would be the case, please indicate your intentions and give at least two weeks' notice before finishing. It is necessary to save every improvement and growth you gained by the sessions for your future life, with summarizing the INSPIRIPSY Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Counselling Psychologist, Integrative Hypnotherapist, 0 Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX0 0XX XX UK:+00 0000 000000 ; HU:+00000000000 whole counselling /therapy process before you leave.

Endings. If a client decides to terminate therapy for any reason, at least one further session should be attended in order to finish the work undertaken in a suitable manner. I would hope to be able to give you a minimum of 1 week notice for termination of counselling / PST / EMDR should it become necessary to terminate for any reason, other than by mutual agreement.

In the case of couple sessions, written consent from both parties to have a copy of the notes in their entirety will be required. Contacting you In signing this agreement you are giving your explicit consent to my contacting you by telephone/text/email.

Endings. It is good to discuss this at the beginning when contracting with your mentee and discussing the minimum/maximum number of sessions for the arrangement. Then, as your work together progresses, you and your mentee will make the judgement about when the mentoring arrangement should come to a formal close. Once you have achieved your objectives, or made good progress towards them, you might feel that it is time to talk about closure. The end will come when the number of sessions contracted for has been completed or you no longer feel the need for regular contact and because you feel confident and able to move on. Build in a formal review so you can offer feedback, focus on what has been achieved and think about how to sustain the learning when no longer meeting with your mentor.
