terms & conditions

Please read these terms and conditions which apply to the provision of my professional services. ​By making an appointment, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. If you are ​unable or unwilling to agree to these terms and conditions, then you should not book an ​appointment or continue with your course of therapy.

FREE DISCOVERY CALL AND INITIAL CONSULTATION

You may be offered or choose to book a free 15 discovery call to understand more about RTT and ​how we can work together. No therapy will be provided during this call.

Prior to an RTT session being conducted, an initial consultation is held to understand the issue ​you want to work on and how it impacts you and your life. During these calls, estimates of the ​number of sessions required to deal with your presenting issue are given on the basis of the ​information presented at that time. Estimates are only rough guidelines and are subject to ​change.

BOOKING & PAYMENT

Payment for online sessions must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session start ​time. Where payment is not received 24 hours before your session, the session will be cancelled ​and may be offered to someone else. It is your responsibility to pay the session fees before each ​scheduled session in order to confirm the appointment booking.

All sessions are conducted via Zoom and all bookings are made via Calendly – ​https://calendly.com/julesdwyertherapy. If a time or day you would prefer does not appear ​available, please contact me via email – julesdwyertherapy@gmail.com

Refunds

No refunds will be issued for cancellations within 24 hours of sessions.

Session fees are for my time and professional expertise and are not a guarantee of a successful ​outcome. Therefore, no refunds will be given for any sessions where you have attended and paid ​for the session.

Where a discount package or therapy program has been booked and paid for in advance, if you ​choose to discontinue your therapy process before attending all the sessions, a pro rata refund ​will be issued after deduction of the full standard session fee for any sessions you have attended.

Session Fees

The cost for a transformation package is confirmed prior to or at the time of booking. I tailor each ​package to suit individual needs of each client. Generally, booking one session is 28 days of ​support, which can be inclusive of, Initial consultation (40 mins), RTT & Hypnotherapy session (up ​to 120 min), Personalised hypnosis recording, ongoing email/WhatsApp support for 28 days and a ​transformational coaching session (21 days after the RTT session).
