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.

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 Bank holidays apply).

​

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 the start of your session. 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.

​

HYPNOTHERAPY RECORDINGS
Hypnotherapy recordings should not be listened to whilst driving, operating machinery, or undertaking any other activity where concentration is required. Any recording provided is for your personal use only and must not be shared, lent, copied, or sold under any circumstances. We save all recordings for up to 30 days before we delete them. If you lose the recording, I can make another one for you at an additional charge.

​

OUTCOME OF SESSIONS

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. In return, you undertake not to harm yourself, or any other person, including me, or any property belonging to either me or any other person.
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.

​

CONFIDENTIALITY

1. Where you give permission for confidentiality to be broken
2. Where I am compelled by a court of law
3. Where the information is of a nature that confidentiality cannot be maintained, for example:

• The possibility of harm to yourself or others exists

• In cases of fraud or crime
