Walk-and-Talk Therapy Agreement

​

1.    Session length: 50 minutes

2.    Fee: £60 per session

3.    Cancellations or rescheduling requires 24 hours notice

​​

I agree to pay the session fee before the Walk & Talk therapy session, either by cash or by BACS.

​

• Therapy takes place outdoors while walking at your pace.

• Confidentiality may be limited due to public spaces.

• Client is responsible for suitable footwear, hydration, and medical disclosures.

• Sessions may be rescheduled due to unsafe weather.

• I understand that this is not exercise or workout training, and that while movement may be beneficial, the focus is not about exercise. 

• I understand that if my therapist and I encounter a person that I know, I have the right to disclose or not disclose that I am in a therapy session. I understand that my therapist will follow my lead should we encounter a person I know, and my therapist will make every effort to preserve client confidentiality and privacy while conducting my Walk & Talk Therapy. 

• I understand that if my therapist should come into contact with a person she knows, my therapist will not acknowledge me as a client, or the Walk & Talk Therapy session as counselling to preserve confidentiality.

• Outdoor therapy is not appropriate for crisis situations.​

This is a therapeutic activity and despite the relative informality of the setting and environment, the relationship between client and therapist continues to be entirely professional and is not a social relationship.

 

In the event of inclement weather, the session location can be changed or rescheduled as needed.

 

I understand the nature and limits of Walk & Talk therapy, I have read and fully understood and agree to the above terms of this agreement and consent to outdoor Walk & Talk Therapy under the conditions outlined above and release my therapist, Delyth Cole from liability for risk, injury, or illness. I agree to participate voluntarily.
