Client Agreement

Please read the following agreement carefully. All boxes must be ticked to submit this form.

As a participant I understand and agree that:

  1. I will receive up to 15 hours of counselling over 15 weeks, delivered online or by telephone
  2. I am responsible for scheduling my own appointments once I receive my counsellor's contact details
  3. I will not be charged for counselling sessions. Qualified counsellors are paid directly by TMAF. If I have been allocated to the Trainee Counsellor scheme, my counsellor is a trainee counselling psychologist enrolled on an accredited doctoral programme and registered with the HCPC as a student practitioner working under qualified supervision. They are not yet fully qualified practitioners and provide their services voluntarily as part of their professional training.
  4. My attendance will be monitored and I must notify TMAF promptly of any issues
  5. I may only request a change of counsellor within the first two weeks
  6. Missing or cancelling two consecutive sessions without notice may result in removal from the scheme. Where applicable a penalty of £90.00 may be charged
  7. I agree to complete a wellbeing evaluation upon completing my counselling sessions
  8. I can withdraw at any time with three weeks written notice
  9. Any disputes will be resolved informally and in good faith

Your data will be retained for 7 years from the end of your participation (16 years for safeguarding records).
