Thinking Feeling Moving Terms and Conditions
Cancelling a booking and late appointments
Please give me 48 hours’ notice if you cannot make a scheduled appointment. I reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee if you fail to show up or if you give me less than 48hours’ notice.
If you arrive late, I will not be able to extend the session, as other clients are likely to be following you. If you decide to leave early, I will still charge the fee for a full session. I will keep the Teams room open for the duration of the session waiting for you to attend.
You may reschedule your appointment (more than 48 hours’ notice) via the link which is listed on your appointment email –“Manage booking” (in purple words). This will trigger a new appointment time and I shall get a notification.
Cancellation Policy
You have the right to cancel the service which you have ordered. A minimum of 48hours’ notice will need to be given if you are unable to attend the session and require a refund otherwise it is non- refundable. For rescheduling your appointment, you can do this through the link that was supplied to you in your booking confirmation email.
Making bookings
Bookings can be made online through www.thinkingfeelingmoving.com where clients can choose suitable timeslots at their convenience. Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy sessions are recommended to occur weekly or fortnightly by negotiation. If you need to book in f or an earlier session you can do this through the website bookings page. Yoga Therapy Programmes are recommended to be practiced daily, and updated fortnightly. EMDR Therapy sessions are recommended to be held no later than in weekly sessions.
Broken connections
If we lose connection I will keep the Microsoft Teams room open. If it happens to be unstable, I will send you a new link via email to join in Zoom or WhatsApp.
Applying for refunds
If you request a refund (outside of the 48 hour cancellation window), and you would rather have a refund instead of rescheduling, please contact lisa@thinkingfeelingmoving.com as soon as possible. Your request will need to be emailed. Please state what the service was, and the date your session was due to happen. We may enquire as to why you are seeking the refund so that we can improve our services. We will make every effort to process your payment as quickly as possible. Your financial institution can take up to 20 days for the refund to reflect in your back account/ card.
Privacy Policy
Please find our privacy policy here.
Case Notes and client files
During sessions I may take brief notes. Information collected will be kept in password protected and encrypted storage in accordance with GDPR. I do not use AI programmes for any of my notes or files.
Initial Free 30-minute consultation
Upon booking for an initial consultation either for Psychosexual Therapy / Counselling, or Yoga/ Yoga Therapy, the online booking system will trigger the relevant forms to be sent to you. This information should be completed and sent back to me at your earliest convenience. This helps me to understand your needs and make the best use of our time. The initial consultation is not a therapy session. I will discuss options with you and possible pathways. In some circumstances I may feel that another therapist may be better suited to work with you, I shall endeavour to refer you to an appropriate person.

Making a complaint
If you have any concerns about the therapy or services you receive and we cannot resolve them together to your satisfaction you have the right to make a complaint to the professional bodies with whom I am registered. I can provide you with their details.
Confidentiality
As your Therapist, I am committed to providing you with a safe, caring, respectful and supportive environment where you may discuss your concerns and any issues that may be distressing you.
Your confidences will be respected, and I will ensure that they are not disclosed to other people unless authorised by you or the law dictates that I must. Please see the Privacy Policy for more details. As a part of the process of Supervision, I may discuss your case with my Supervisor, of which you will remain anonymous.
You do not have my permission to record your sessions using a video or voice recorder or use of AI. You may take hand written notes.
Commitment and Responsibility
The therapy process requires commitment and a genuine desire to change. As your Therapist, I am here to help you help yourself to the best of your abilities. However you must be responsible for your own thoughts, feelings and actions.
Honesty and Boundaries in relation to Therapy
Therapy sessions work best when you are open and honest. I will do my best to do this and expect you will do the same. Please ask questions if there is something you do not understand and let me know if your circumstances change or something happens that may affect the therapy process.
Therapy sessions can be emotionally and psychologically charged and it is important to recognise that our relationship is strictly professional in nature. It is also important for you to know that in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy will NOT involve any touching or undressing with the Therapist. You may be asked to do some tasks outside of therapy sessions for yourself and if agreed upon. You may also be asked to have a medical examination by a medical practitioner.
