Code of Care for Individuals seeking Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Bryony Way
Medical Advice
Hypnotherapy is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice. You should always consult with your Doctor or other Health Care professionals in any matter relating to your health.
Whilst clinical hypnotherapy is very safe if you are undergoing psychiatric treatment, then you should consult your medical practitioner to confirm that you may have hypnotherapy.
Any existing medical conditions should be discussed with the therapist at the initial consultation.
Hypnotherapy is not suitable for any person experiencing psychosis.
Online Therapy Sessions
Anyone taking part in online sessions should set an alarm for 75 minutes after their appointment start time to wake them should they fall asleep.
Commitment and Results
Although the results of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be significant, they cannot be guaranteed. In order to aim for the best results for yourself you will need to be fully committed to your therapy and attend regular sessions. You will need to listen to the relaxation recording on a regular basis (not while driving or operating machinery).
