Child Client Agreement – Hypnotherapy Code of Care
Click here to download the PDF version.
The therapist has fully explained Hypnotherapy, together with any self-help on my part and/or my child’s part.
Hypnotherapy results vary from person to person.
I accept the fee payable and note the 24 hours’ notice of cancellation of appointment that is required; otherwise half the fee will be charged.
I understand that Hypnotherapy may involve light touch on occasion but full clothing is retained. Respect for the child, the client, and body privacy will be constantly maintained.
The therapist reserves the right to refuse or postpone treatment if they feel threatened or disrespected.
I explicitly consent to you creating and storing records concerning my child’s Hypnotherapy sessions, as per your Privacy Notice, a copy of which I have seen.
I have read and understand both pages of this agreement and give permission for Hypnotherapy to take place.

It is recommended that you consult your child’s doctor before starting any complementary therapies, including Hypnotherapy. It’s important to note that results may vary from person to person.
