Pure Soul Therapy - Terms & Conditions: 

Updated July 2025.


Booking and Payment Policy:

All sessions are to be paid in full at the time of booking to confirm and secure your appointment. This allows me to dedicate the time, energy and preparation your personalised session deserves.

  

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy:

Your session involves detailed planning, research and personalisation to your needs. For this reason:

A $50 non-refundable cancellation fee applies to all cancellations, regardless of notice.

If you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice, an additional 50% of the session fee will be retained to cover time already invested in preparing your session.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice or non-attendance will result in 100% of the session fee being forfeited.

Sessions may be rescheduled once, with at least 48 hours' notice, to another mutually agreeable time without penalty.

This policy ensures respect for both the therapist's time and clients on the waitlist and encourages a full commitment to your therapeutic process.

Disclaimer:

Hypnotherapy and integrative therapy can facilitate meaningful personal growth, but outcomes depend on many factors, including the client's readiness, consistency, and personal context.
