We assume clinical responsibility for you within the scope of the services we provide when we book your Initial Appointment. Until this time we do not accept any clinical responsibility and are under no obligation in this respect.

We will discuss your situation and needs in an initial telephone consultation to establish whether our services are suitable for you clinically and to meet your own requirements. We need to be confident as a small practice that we are well equipped to deal with your psychological needs.
-
We may not be able to take on clients where there are significant complications such as active safeguarding concerns, or where your requirements are outside the scope of our specialist expertise. In these cases we will do our very best to signpost you to other services who will be able to help and support you.
-
If we have completed our engagement with you, our clinical responsibility will cease and we will notify you of discharge. This can be at the completion of an assessment such as supply of the final report or at the end of a therapy block.
-
If no other notice is given you are automatically discharged from our clinical responsibility 30 days after our final contact with you.
-
After clinical responsibility has ceased we will continue to honour our statutory duties within the scope and time of the original engagement. Any new issues or current status will require a new referral and review before we accept clinical responsibility.
​
We require clients to agree to these terms and conditions following a free initial telephone consultation if they want to proceed.
