Terms and Conditions of The Counsellor Blou

Initial Arrangements

Greetings and High Vibrations. Welcome to my website. By using it, you’re agreeing to the following terms of use, which you should take time to read.

All front of house pages are public and are intended as a source to help those looking for information about psychotherapy, and to further identify the reasons people seek help with their personal growth and challenging experiences.

The free pages, serve as an introduction to the advanced content within the private membership pages. To access any resources or service through website you must join as a member, and begin your journey as a sovereign being in the private sector of TCB online Blou community.

The rules here are simple: You agree to engage as an honest and true reflection of who you are. You will show integrity and present your authentic self. You do not take part whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

You understand you are joining a private group as a living man or woman sovereign individual protected by the The Law of Mankind, and private legislation and not as a member of the public or a State, HMRC, or Government agent.

Your activities and the activities within the group are private and not to be shared out with the encrypted platform. Failure to follow these common decency guidelines will result in immediate discontinuation of your membership, without compensation.

Not sure if to join?

One month membership is free and provides a short window for you to enjoy a look around the membership platform, access to some resources (but not all the best ones, in my opinion) and to set up your own session satchel and personal growth plan.

Once the month has expired, you will be asked to join as fully paid member or risk losing all your progress to date.

Annual Membership is £20 per year and provides access to all areas for you to enjoy the membership platform, access to all the resources, tailored sessions, discount codes and access to your own session satchel and personal growth plan, as well as some really interesting areas of the site for your ongoing learning and self discovery.

Booking a session

When you book a session, you must compensate me in advance. You will have the option to choose the time and date that you prefer. You will be contacted by email to confirm the session time you want is available.

You will be asked to complete an Initial Assessment and an agreement outlining boundaries to ensure your counselling is safe, ethical and based on your strengths and needs as an individual.

Once a booking is confirmed, if you do not attend, 50% of the compensation will be retained.

All counsellors of TCB are bound by the confidential and ethical codes of conducts as stated by their registration body: BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Information on my policy and procedures is your responsibility to read and approve.

Accessibility

TCB are continually working to update our website to make it as accessible as possible to everyone who wishes uses it. We aim to meet the AA accessibility standard, as laid out by W3C in its Web Accessibility Initiative. Achieving this standard demonstrates that our website has a high level of accessibility for users.

We use PDF (Portable Document Format) documents on this website to make your session information available for you to download and view. PDFs are a common file format used on the internet. If your browser does not open PDFs, you can download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website.

The website aims to retain accessibility of PDFs by using assistive technologies such as screen readers, navigation through the keyboard and enhanced screen viewing. You can find information about these features on the Adobe website.

As we continue to improve the accessibility of our website, your feedback is vital. If you have any suggestions about how we can improve our website's accessibility, or if you would like one of our publications in an alternative format, let us know.

Assessment

Information will be requested to ensure you are suitable for online counselling. Further information will be required to measure and assess your personal progress and goals set as you progress. The results of these are always shared with you as part of your next session.

Contact with counsellors will take place within pre-arranged appointment times and any contact outside of these times is to be only for making or re-scheduling appointments.

Risk

If a counsellor believes at any stage that online counselling may be harmful to an individual, the contract will be brought gently to an end, with alternative support recommended where possible.

The Counsellor Blou is not a crisis service. Counsellors cannot be available in an emergency. Counselling sessions may use Risk Assessments to identify alternative support if necessary and help may be provided to find this support.
