• You understand that the therapist/coach has the right to refuse treatment/sessions.
• You give permission for the therapist/coach to contact your GP or other appropriate external agency if the therapist/coach believes that there is a serious risk to themselves or to others. At any other times you give permission for the therapist/coach to contact my GP if you have a medical condition or if it is considered in your best interests. This will be discussed with you first.
• You will make every effort to arrive on time for the agreed session time. You understand that if you arrive late, you will still only be allocated the prior, agreed time.

• You will inform the therapist/coach of any changes to my details or health while attending sessions.
• You agree to Linda Witchell contacting me after 1 – 3 months either by email/telephone or post to get feedback on your progress.
• For appointments in the office only: You have not had COVID 19 in the last 10 days or been in contact with anyone who is a risk of having COVID 19. You will socially distance and wash my hands or use antibacterial gel to minimize risks. NB The office is cleaned between clients and ventilated.
