Client Suitability and Responsibility

---

Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective complementary therapy for many individuals. However, it is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care, and it may not be suitable for everyone. Clients must carefully consider whether hypnotherapy aligns with their current mental and physical health conditions.

Hypnotherapy may not be appropriate for individuals who:

• Have been diagnosed with severe psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder with active symptoms).
• Are currently experiencing severe dissociation, delusions, or hallucinations.
• Have neurological conditions that may impair cognitive function (unless cleared by a doctor).
• Are under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the session.

If you are under psychiatric care or taking medication for mental health conditions, you may be required to obtain written consent from your GP, psychiatrist, or mental health professional before beginning hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy is not a medical treatment and should not be used as a replacement for professional healthcare. It does not diagnose or cure medical or psychological conditions.

Clients should seek medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional for any physical or mental health concerns. If you are undergoing medical treatment, you must consult your doctor before engaging in hypnotherapy.

By booking a session, clients acknowledge that:

• They are seeking hypnotherapy voluntarily.
• They have provided accurate and honest health information.
• They accept full responsibility for their own well-being and participation in the process.
• They understand that results vary and depend on individual commitment, mindset, and responsiveness.
• Will not be under the influence of any legal or illegal intoxicating substances.

To get the best results, clients should:

• Be open to the hypnotherapy process and actively engage in suggested techniques.
• Follow pre-session and post-session guidelines, such as practicing self-hypnosis or recommended exercises, for instance listening to the guidance audio.
• Ensure they are in a suitable physical and mental state before each session.
• Communicate honestly and openly about their progress and any concerns.

All client information is handled in compliance with UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Personal details and session records are kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with third parties without the client’s written consent, except where required by law (e.g., safeguarding concerns).
