Therapy Agreement

Last updated: 05/11/2024

1. Session Book

Your intake session is paid upfront and includes an intake form and an in-person or zoom session.
If you need to change your appointment time then this will be credited towards your new appointment time (please see cancellations policy below).

Subsequent sessions can be paid per session, either in person or via direct bank transfer to:
Liz McComish
736-406
511371

Please ensure you pay for your session immediately following the session. Non-payment might mean that you become ineligible for further sessions.

Regular sessions are best at first. Liz limits the number of clients she works with at any one time so it is best to book ahead with appointments so you know you have them. Please refer to the cancellation policy if you cannot make your appointment.

Participation in these sessions is voluntary. Clients are at all times to maintain personal responsibility for their behaviour and any life changes or choices they make as a result of their personal and emotional growth.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle and anything else that helps you - ie journal for writing notes in.

 

2. Holistic Approach

Liz is a Somatic Therapist working with your body and nervous system. Although she has a background in counselling, she is not working as a Mental Health professional. If you are seeking a diagnosis or medication Liz can help you with understanding this and referrals if need be.Please ensure you have contacts to call if you need support, such a family and/or friends. You may like to call a support service such as Beyond Blue on 1300224636 or Lifeline 131114.If you find Liz' s work is not helping you then she can support you to find another practitioner

 

3. Client Confidentiality

Your attendance at appointments and everything that happens and is said within your session is confidential. Exceptions to this are as follows:

   

  1. Professional supervision where information regarding your session may be brought into discussion. Your identifying information will be kept private.

  2. You request / or give permission for information to be shared with another care-giver

  3. You are potentially in danger – to yourself, to others, from others

  4. Your notes are subpoenaed as part of legal action.

    It is important that you are aware that your welfare is paramount. If you have any queries regarding this, please feel free to discuss this in more depth in your sessions.

 

4. Cancellation policy

Please ensure that if you need to cancel an appointment you give as much notice as you can (at least 48 hours). If you cancel within 48 hours you may be charged for the session. If you do not turn up to your first session then you will lose the deposit you paid upon booking.
These policies do not apply for genuine personal emergencies that require unexpected cancellation of your appointment.

 

5. Disclaimer

I accept the above terms and conditions and take full responsibility for ensuring payment of fees and that the cancellation policy is adhered to. I also understand and acknowledge that by attending Somatic Therapy with Liz McComish that although she will make every possible effort to ensure my individual safety, ultimately, I am responsible for myself and no liability or responsibility for loss or life changes can be accepted by Liz McComish.
