Contract for counselling with Jim Friedman

The aim(s) of your counselling with me

We will talk together in order to address the concerns discussed and agreed at your Consultation interview and any others that emerge as counselling continues. We will explore and try to understand those concerns and, where appropriate, discuss how to bring about changes that are relevant to you and your relationships.

Confidentiality

Whatever you discuss in your consultation or counselling sessions with me is confidential, unless I believe that either you or a third party is at risk. If this is so, then, where appropriate, I will discuss with you how I would like to proceed with your co-operation.

Notes of sessions are kept separately from contact details in order to protect your confidentiality.

My work with clients is discussed, usually anonymously, with my supervisor as part of my professional accountability. If I need to consult with another professional or a third party I will ask for your written permission to do so.

Payment

Payment for each consultation or counselling session will be made by cheque (supported by a banker's card) or in cash. The payment for each session will be £……

Cancellation

In order to offer an ethically-minded service supported by professional training, maintenance of accreditation and regular supervision, I rely on prompt client payments.

If you need to cancel a session, please notify me as much in advance as you can. If less than two working days notice is given, the missed session will need to be paid for.

Client feedback

I welcome comments on your experience of counselling with me. If you would like to do so, please offer your feedback either in person in the session itself or by letter or phone, whichever is preferable to you. You will be invited to complete a questionnaire at the close of your counselling with me.

I work according to the Ethical Framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, 15 St John's Business Park, Lutterworth LE17 4HB

I/We have read this statement and understood its terms.
