Terms of Service
It's important to note that the effectiveness of RTT has not been extensively studied and more research is needed to confirm its benefits.
Also, as with any therapeutic approach, individual results may vary.

EVENTS
Once a ticket is purchased, it is non-refundable unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. However, we will make every effort to assist in finding a replacement for your spot, and you are welcome to transfer your ticket to another individual should you choose to do so.
Failure to attend the event does not entitle you to a refund.
MISSED APPOINTMENTS​
You will get automated reminders about your appointment from the booking system. Please be sure to check your SPAM box. You may also opt-in for free Text message reminders.
The same confirmation email also asks you to 'CONFIRM' your appointment and attendance. Please make sure you 'CONFIRM'.
If a confirmation has not been received, the call may not go ahead and a refund will not be possible.
An additional 25% of the agreed fee is charged to reschedule any missed appointments.
​
If a scheduled Follow-Up appointment is missed without the required notice, there will be an additional charge to reschedule. The call you miss will be deducted from your package and not be refunded or credited to your programme. (Not applicable to Free sessions).
​
DISCOVERY CALLS
There is a nominal, refundable deposit required for Discovery Calls.
Once the call has been conducted, should you decide not to proceed within the notice period identified during your booking, the fee is refunded, no questions asked; otherwise you lose the deposit. If you choose to proceed with a service, the deposit is credited to your client account. Refunds do not apply if you fail to attend the Discovery Call or cancel without a 24 hr notice.
​
RESCHEDULING
If you need to reschedule an online RTT/Hypnotherapy/Coaching session, please do so 48 hours before the scheduled time. If you need to reschedule a Discovery Call, please do so 24 hours before the scheduled time. You can do this by using the option on your booking confirmation email or by sending an email to theteam@umarstherapy.com . Whatsapp/text messages will not be acceptable.
Follow-up calls must be done within the agreed timeline as this plays a vital role in the transformation. Failure to maintain the timeline may not deliver the expected results.

(Follow-up calls must be done within the agreed timeline as this plays a vital role in the transformation. Failure to maintain the timeline may not deliver the expected results).
​
FEES - (Not applicable to Free sessions).
All Fees are due to be paid 72 hours before the session. The fee for your session will be agreed upon following the Free Discover Call.
All professional fees will be disclosed to you before booking. Fees are subject to review and may increase from time to time.
Session fees are calculated and based on my time and professional expertise and are not a guarantee of a successful outcome.
You will always receive confirmation of the professional fees before booking.
I generally use Hypnotherapy for most of my processes. On some occasions, clients experience resistance to relax into hypnosis. In such instances, an additional session may be required which will attract additional fees.
Please visit the FAQ's page to make sure you understand the process and are completely comfortable with the commitment required.
Additional charges apply for in-person sessions. Please be sure to confirm if this applies to you and what the charges are.
​
CONTACT BETWEEN US
​
Any contact between sessions will be by email or other agreed method during office hours only (Mon-Friday 09:00-17:00 Ex. Bank Holidays). Any messages received outside of these hours will be dealt with during office hours only.
​
MEDICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
I may ask questions about your medical history to establish any contra-indications to treatment. This will also help to assess whether your health is affecting (or being affected by) the therapeutic goals you wish to achieve. Please update me of any medical changes during your course of therapy, or if you are returning to therapy after a period of absence.
If you are receiving care or treatment from any medical, healthcare or therapy practitioner, e.g. GP, Psychologist, Psychiatrist or Counsellor, you may be asked to seek their permission before any therapy sessions can commence.
Please note that I will be unable to offer my professional services if you suffer from epilepsy or any form of psychosis.
Failure to disclose any medical issues may result in regression and Umar's Therapy Ltd will not be held liable.
ATTENDING YOUR SESSIONS
Please ensure that you are available at your session start time. If you are running late, please let me know as soon as possible. I will do my best to make a full session available, however, as the ability to do this will depend on bookings after your session, this cannot be guaranteed.
​

OUTCOME OF SESSIONS
The agreement to work on the issues presented by you in no way implies or guarantees the resolution of your presenting issue(s).
No outcome can or will be guaranteed. However, I will always endeavour to use my best efforts and skills to work towards your goals and intended outcomes.

STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOUR
During the course of any therapy sessions, I will treat you with respect and not abuse the trust you place in me. I will use best practices at all times in our mutual interest.

You agree not to attend sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, except those medications which have been prescribed by your doctor. If you do attend any sessions under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, or demonstrate violent or abusive behaviour, I will cancel the session and may refuse to see you for any further sessions without refunding any payment already
made.
​
