The therapies offered at Power2Change provide powerful approaches to changing, behaviour, habits and problems of a psychological nature, but cannot offer a guarantee of success. While the success rate with most clients is high, these therapies rely on the client taking responsibility and working with the therapist.
It is a ‘partnership’ to success.
The client must be aware that while Power2Change have a duty of care, during and between sessions, the client should report any problems immediately to Power2Change and if necessary consult their GP. The client should fully inform the therapist of any anxiety, stress or trauma experienced prior to therapy, irrespective of how long ago it occurred .This will allow your therapist to adjust the therapy offered. All information remains 100% confidential. Power2Change are not responsible for the outcome of the therapy as it will require the client to be fully involved and participating in there recovery. With 100% from the client and 100% from the therapist, success is anticipated.
All clients are expected to keep their appointment times or give notice of cancellation more than 24 hours before the appointment is due.
Appointments once made are a commitment to attend.
If you have to cancel for any reason, giving a minimum of 24 hours notice will avoid you being charged.
The full fee for the session is due if less than 24 hours notice is given or the client fails to appear for the session at the agreed time. This fee can be waived at the discretion of Power2Change.
