Therapy sessions will be agreed in advance. I will invoice you after each session and payment should be transferred to the given bank account. The amount should be paid in full within 7 days. If payments are not made within this time frame, all future sessions will be cancelled until a payment is received.
Travel will be calculated and added to the invoice.
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at full rate.
Cancelled sessions with more than 24 hours notice will not be charged. If you need to cancel an appointment please contact me as soon as possible.
A parent may decided to withdraw a child from therapy at any point but I would be grateful of 5 days notice.
I will try to deliver therapy according to agreed dates/times but no liability will be accepted for expense/inconvenience of sessions changes due to unforeseen circumstances that means sessions might have to be cancelled or postponed
