A few important things

Confidentiality

What you share with me is treated as confidential.

The exception is where there is a serious concern that you intend to cause harm to yourself or someone else.

Scope of practice

My practice is independent. I do not provide coordinated care as part of a medical or psychiatric treatment team.

I work as a therapist and counsellor, but I do not diagnose mental health conditions.

The Self Mastery Initiative does not provide medical or psychiatric treatment and the services offered are not a substitute for professional medical or psychiatric care.

Minors

Sessions are for clients aged 15 and above. Clients under 18 require parental consent.

Consent

Before beginning sessions, clients receive a consent form outlining the nature of the work and providing clarity and transparency around the services being offered.

Crisis support

The Self Mastery Initiative is not an emergency or crisis service.

If you are in immediate danger or believe you may harm yourself or someone else, please contact your local emergency services or an appropriate crisis provider.

Cancellations

At least 48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling.

Sessions cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged.

If you have questions about whether this work is appropriate for you, please get in touch.
