Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions - Regarding Hypnosis, Rapid Transformational Therapy and coaching.

Kate Tolson - Rapid Transformational Therapist and Coach offers healing hypnosis sessions using the unique Rapid Transformational Therapy approach (RTT) as well as other hypnotherapy techniques.

Only 1 session is generally required per issue, however some clients may need more for more deeply-rooted, sensitive and complex issues.

Hypnosis is natural, safe and relaxing. It is effective as you are greatly more suggestible when in hypnosis.

You will remain conscious and in complete control throughout.

In hypnosis, the person may be regressed back to childhood memories to help discover the root cause of the issues. Then the client and Kate will work together in hypnosis to get an understanding of where the belief and/or behaviour originated, with the view to changing it.

Please note, hypnosis alone is no guarantee of success. The client needs to want the change, be open, willing, and motivated to want the change via hypnosis and thereafter.

It is crucial that the client listens to the personalised recording made by Kate (where given) for minimum 28 consecutive days. This is required for your brain to create new neural pathways with the new belief and behaviour, the mind creates these new pathways through repetition. Some clients choose to listen to it multiple times throughout the day and/or listen to it longer than 21 days, latest research shows 90 days + is most effective.

The recommended times to listen to the recording is in bed before sleeping (you will still get the benefit if you fall asleep) and first thing in the morning. You can also listen to it any other time EXCLUDING while driving or handling heavy or any machinery.

 

The results can come in 3 different ways:

1. Immediate- you can experience the changes soon after the session.

2. Subtle- gradual change that comes naturally and delicately.

3. Retroactive- changes come over time and it’s only when you look back you realise how much you’ve changed since the session.

Please remember to trust the process and do not be alarmed if you don’t see immediate results, different issues are processed at different speeds by the mind.

 

The mind cannot hold conflicting beliefs and it has a strong affinity to what’s familiar (i.e your existing habits and beliefs)

It’s very important to stay positive and support yourself in making the changes.

 

The information, techniques, methods, recommendations by Kate are not intended to ever be a substitute for the diagnosis and care by a qualified physician/GP, nor to encourage the treatment of illness by persons not recognisably qualified.

 

If you use hypnosis and are under medical care for ANY condition, do NOT make adjustments to ANY prescribed medication without the approval of your doctor.

If in any doubt, you should seek your GP’s advice beforehand.

 

INVESTMENT

Your investment for a package session is confirmed both on the website and at the checkout.

What is included in each package is detailed both on the website and at the checkout.

• FULL PAYMENT is due when booking a session to ensure your commitment to the transformational process.

*prices are subject to change.

 

The client

You are confirming:

• That you are not suffering from any diagnosed psychiatric condition, psychological illness or epilepsy and are not under the supervision of a psychiatrist.

• That you will take part in all sessions free from the influence of either alcohol or drugs (including large or recent amounts of caffeine) and will provide a list of any prescription medications you are currently taking.

• That you understand and accept that the hypnotherapist may terminate the session without warning if the hypnotherapist should determine that the session has been booked for some purpose other than to receive therapy.

If that should occur, the client will remain liable for any session fee paid in advance.

 

For online hypnosis sessions

You as the client are confirming:

• That you will ensure that the environment in which sessions are undertaken shall be safe and free from distractions and will inform the hypnotherapist if there is anyone else present or monitoring the session.
• That you have provided the correct address and contact details of your online location, with a back-up number or text arrangement in case of technology failure and a third party emergency contact number.
• That you will not record the session (either by sound or visual means) without prior permission from the therapist.
• That you will keep your computer/laptop charged throughout the session so that the device will not shut down during the session.
• That you will silence any alerts (do not disturb mode) on your computer device.
• That you turn off and/or put your phone on airplane mode to ensure there are not incoming distractions.

If the online connection is dropped while the client is in hypnosis, you are safe to open your eyes and reactivate the call. Kate will put you back into hypnosis and continue where it was interrupted.

• Kate will inform the client when the transformation recording begins, and if the internet disconnects during the recording, the client will wait for Kate to finish the recording, then reactivate the call to finalise the session.

When the transformation is ready for recording, Kate will mute the client’s audio to ensure the recording has no distracting noise in the background.

Zoom is the preferred software because of its privacy settings and stability.
• Prior to the session, the client should ensure zoom works on their device.

• Please go to www.zoom.us and download Zoom and test it out to ensure it works. Please do this a few days before the day of your session.

• The client should be in a comfortable upright position (a recliner is perfect).

If headphones/microphone are available that helps improve communication.

Caution - Epileptics are generally advised not to enter hypnosis, nor is anyone with a diagnosed psychotic illness.

All client data is kept strictly confidential. Records will be destroyed after 7 years.

Agreement

I confirm that I have read the above and understand the process of hypnotherapy and accept these terms and conditions. 

This contract is set out to outline the expectations for the client and therapist in terms of how the Hypnotherapy and Coaching service is delivered by Kate Tolson.

Code of Ethics and Professional Confidentiality

Hypnotherapy and Coaching is confidential. 
Kate Tolson may have an ethical responsibility to seek supervision of their casework from an appropriately trained clinical supervisor. In supervision, they will discuss client casework to ensure safe, effective and ethical practice. However, any identifying client information will be anonymised. Clinical supervisors maintain the same practice of confidentiality as the therapist.
Kate Tolson will not share client information or any information about them to anyone outside of the therapy and clinical supervision unless someone’s personal safety is at risk. In these exceptional circumstances, they may have an ethical or legal obligation to share some information. If there is a need to share information for this reason, where possible, therapists will discuss this with clients beforehand.
There are times when clients might require more specialist support. If this is the case, their therapist may refer them to another provider or agency with their permission or with parental/carer consent dependent on their age and ability to consent.
Client records are not suitable evidence for legal hearings and Kate Tolson reserves the right to preserve confidentiality where possible of the content of their client work. Kate Tolson does not usually work with clients who are involved in current or pending legal proceedings because this may compromise the validly of evidence in any such litigation.

Client anonymised results and outcomes may be used in Kate Tolson's case studies which may be shared online and in other media including her marketing. Further clarification can be sought on this.

Sessions and Cancellations

Clients are asked to arrive on time to each appointment.

Each session is payable before the session time. 

If for some reason you are unable to keep the appointment, a minimum of 48 hours (2 days) notice is required, otherwise a cancellation fee of the full session amount will be payable. If your therapist doesn’t hear from you following a missed session it will be assumed that the sessions are no longer required.
There may be breaks in the therapeutic and coaching service to accommodate holidays, sickness and where appropriate this will be discussed with you.
Sessions will not take place if you are unable to participate due to being under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
