1. Changes to these Terms
We reserve the right to update and change any of our Agreements (Terms and
Conditions, Privacy Policy and Booking and Cancellation Policy), in accordance with our needs, at any time and in
our sole discretion. Users will be notified of these changes on the respective
agreement page, by updating the data on the top left of the page. Your
continued use of our Services following any modifications in our Terms or
Policies will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
By using our Services, you agree to frequently review these Terms and
applicable Policies, understanding how these conditions affect the use of our
Services.
2. Users responsibilities, rights and commitment
2.1. Responsibilities and rights of members and clients
2.1.1. In order to keep therapy safe and specific, users are required to
provide as much details as possible. Personal data is collected to improve the
user's experience. This information must be true, accurate and detailed,
allowing DAVID SOFFER THERAPY to develop appropriate sessions to the goals,
needs and conditions of the client. This will be treated as confidential
information, and only the user and us will have access to this (for exceptions,
please read our Privacy Policy). The user has the right to not give us any personal information.
However, omission of relevant or significant information may limit our ability
to accurately assess your needs, formulate a safe and appropriate treatment
plan, as well as provide the most beneficial therapeutic support. By
omitting information, you do so at your own risk, and you are responsible for
any consequences that might result from such omission. To know how your
personal data is collected, used, stored, protected and disclosed by us, please
read our Privacy Policy.
2.1.2. We are unable to keep you up to date, unless you subscribe to our mailing list ("Subscribed User" or collectively "Subscribed Users"). It's of the user responsibility to guarantee a subscription in order to receive our e-mails. For more information, please read our Privacy Policy.
2.1.3. All users are required to read carefully all Terms and Conditions, as well as respective Agreements (Privacy Policy, Booking and Cancellation Policy), and agree with them before accessing or using any of our Services.
2.2. Client safety and personal responsibility
2.2.1. The client acknowledges that engaging in counseling may involve
discussing challenging emotions, past traumas, or sensitive life issues, which
can sometimes lead to temporary emotional distress.
2.2.2.
It is crucial that the client provides us with accurate and comprehensive
information regarding their current mental health status, relevant history, and
any existing risk factors. By commencing sessions, the client agrees to: (a)
inform us of any pre-existing mental health conditions and all current
medications being used; (b) disclose any history or current intent related to
self-harm, suicide, or harm to others; (c) share relevant information regarding
safety plans, emergency contacts, or concurrent treatment with other health
professionals. This information will be used to conduct an appropriate risk
assessment and collaboratively determine the safest and most effective course
of treatment. We reserve the right to request documentation or, in cases of
immediate risk, to take necessary actions in accordance with confidentiality
and duty-to-warn policies (as outlined separately in the Privacy Policy).
2.2.3.
It is the client's responsibility to monitor their emotional state and
well-being between and during sessions. If the client experiences significant,
acute distress, an emotional crisis, or any thoughts of self-harm during or
immediately after a session, they must: (a) inform us immediately during the
session; (b) utilize their predetermined crisis resources outside of session
hours (e.g., emergency services, crisis hotlines, or their personal emergency
contacts). By failing to report acute distress or withholding information
critical to their immediate safety, the client may inadvertently limit the
Counselor's ability to provide timely and necessary support or guidance
regarding appropriate crisis intervention resources.
2.2.4.
We will not be able to reschedule your session if this notice is given within
48 hours of your appointment, unless it's due to a health emergency, and you're
holding a medical proof of this. This is in agreement with our Bookingand Cancellation Policy. Please consult it for more information.
2.2.5. All stated above is applicable to all our users who get involved in the
practice of therapy (live and/or online, members and clients included), with no
exceptions.
2.3. Client commitment, responsibility and ownership
The following aspects are crucial for the client to establish clear expectations regarding the therapeutic process and acknowledge their responsibility in achieving the goals initially established.
2.3.1. The
provision of our Services does not, and shall not, guarantee specific
therapeutic results or outcomes. The counsellor or psychotherapist functions as
a trained professional who applies evidence-based modalities, designs and
implements individualised treatment plans tailored to the client's stated needs
and goals, provides clinical advice, and facilitates a supportive environment
for personal exploration and insight. They cannot execute the necessary
emotional, mental, or behavioral work required for change on behalf of the
client. Therefore, the client shall assume full responsibility and ownership
for their therapeutic process, including demonstrating consistent commitment
and persistence in applying the agreed-upon strategies and insights derived from
the sessions.
2.3.2. Should
the client be granted access to supplementary online materials,
psychoeducational resources, or general guidelines in person or through the
platform, the client acknowledges that the mere utilisation of such resources
does not equate to active therapy or guarantee specific results. These
materials constitute general information and are not personalised
interventions. To obtain individualised guidance and support, the Client must
engage in scheduled, one-on-one sessions. Failure to fully engage in
personalised sessions while relying solely on generalised resources shall not
be our responsibility or the service provider.
2.3.3. If
the client experiences any difficulties adhering to the mutually agreed-upon
treatment plan, has concerns regarding any aspect of the therapeutic direction,
or disagrees with the approach being utilised, this must be communicated us
without undue delay. This immediate communication is mandatory to permit the
necessary modification of the initial program and ensure the therapeutic
process remains relevant and beneficial.
2.3.4.
The frequency and consistency of the client's attendance at scheduled sessions,
alongside the dedication to self-reflection and practice of coping strategies
between sessions, are paramount factors influencing the speed and depth of
progress. Infrequent or inconsistent engagement will substantially impede the
client's ability to achieve their desired therapeutic goals.
2.3.5.
While we shall employ professional standards to provide optimal guidance and
support, the client accepts that individual therapeutic results will vary
significantly. The time required to achieve meaningful changes such as improved
emotional regulation or resolution of presenting issues, will differ based on
individual history, commitment, and complexity of the issues addressed. Clients
must focus on self-improvement and progress, not on achieving outcomes
identical to those of other individuals. We make no guarantee of specific
results, particularly in instances where the client’s commitment is less than
100%.
2.3.6. Clients
bear the sole responsibility for tracking and managing their scheduled
appointments as well as adhering to the established cancellation and
rescheduling policies.
2.3.7. Effective therapy requires continuous feedback from both parties. The counsellor or psychotherapist shall provide consistent feedback regarding the client's progress and performance within the established goals. Conversely, the client is obligated to provide frequent and candid feedback regarding the efficacy of the therapeutic interventions, mentioning any concerns, preferences, or difficulties encountered.
