The following ground rules are the basis for our work together. I'm happy to discuss changes at any time.  

​

- I'm a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (N Burt no 00913417) and work within their professional code of ethics including continuing monthly supervision of my practice. For more details please visit www.bacp.com

​

- Please arrive at the agreed time. In the event you are late I will wait and honour the whole session but the session cannot be extended.

​

- Payment can be via bank transfer to N Burt - 404760 - 52674599 - in cash, or with a debit card after each session. For international transfers please use 

IBAN: GB15HBUK40476052674599 - BIT: HBUKGB41FDJ - Swift: HBUKGB4BXXX

​

- If you are unable to give me 48 hrs notice of cancellation, payment will still be due for the agreed session unless there has been an emergency.

​

- The content of our sessions is completely confidential. I will only ever break confidentiality if I feel you may do harm to yourself or someone else. In which case I am legally bound (by the BACP) to contact your GP. 

​

- Our relationship will be client/therapist and contained within my practice. If I see you in public I will not acknowledge you first in order to maintain your privacy.

​

- It's normal to find the process of therapy and or me, frustrating, confusing and difficult at times. I would encourage you to discuss these concerns in the sessions.

​

- I will keep brief notes on our work privately (not digitally) but your full name and details will not be included.

​

- I will only ever cancel an appointment due to illness or emergency. I will always give as much notice as possible.

​

- If we lose contact, I will try to contact you once by email and text. If I do not hear back I'll assume you have ended our contract.
