Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions:

These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the Form & Ground website. By using this website, you agree to these terms. Please read them alongside the Privacy Notice, which explains how personal information is collected, used and protected.

Information on this website:

I take reasonable care to ensure that information on this website is accurate and up to date. However, the content is provided for general information about my practice and counselling services and should not be treated as individual therapeutic, psychological, medical or other professional advice. Reading this website or contacting me through it does not, by itself, create a therapist-client relationship. A therapeutic relationship begins only when we have agreed to work together, and the arrangements for counselling have been established.

Counselling services:

Information about counselling services, session formats, fees and availability may be provided on this website. Where you become a client, our therapeutic work will be governed by a separate client agreement, which sets out the terms of counselling in greater detail, including matters such as confidentiality, appointments, fees, cancellations and communication between sessions. If there is any inconsistency between these website Terms & Conditions and the client agreement in relation to counselling services, the client agreement will take precedence.

Enquiries and availability:

Submitting an enquiry through the website does not guarantee that I will be able to offer you counselling. Whether we decide to work together will depend on factors including availability, whether the service I offer is appropriate for your needs, and whether we both feel that working together would be suitable. I aim to respond to enquiries within a reasonable period, but I cannot guarantee an immediate response. Please avoid including detailed or highly sensitive personal information in the website contact form. If we arrange an introductory call, there will be an opportunity to discuss your circumstances more privately. Information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with the Form & Ground Privacy Notice.

Urgent and emergency support:

Form & Ground is not an emergency or crisis service, and the website and contact form are not monitored continuously. If you require urgent medical or mental health assistance, please contact an appropriate emergency, crisis or healthcare service rather than relying on this website or waiting for a response to an enquiry.

Website availability:

I aim to keep the Form & Ground website available and functioning appropriately, but I cannot guarantee that access will always be uninterrupted or error-free. The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical difficulties, updates or circumstances outside my reasonable control. I may change, update, suspend or withdraw parts of the website where reasonably necessary.

Intellectual property:

Unless otherwise stated, the written content, branding and original materials on this website belong to Form & Ground and are protected by applicable intellectual property law. You are welcome to view the website and retain information for your own personal, non-commercial use. Content from this website must not be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed or used for commercial purposes without prior permission, except where permitted by law.

Third-party services and links:

This website may contain links to third-party websites or use services provided by third parties. Links are provided for convenience or additional information. Unless expressly stated otherwise, I am not responsible for the content, availability, security or privacy practices of third-party websites or services. If you follow an external link, the terms and privacy policies of that provider will apply.

Privacy and personal information:

Your use of this website may involve the collection and processing of personal information, particularly if you contact me through the website. Details about what information I collect, why I use it, how long it is retained, who may process it and your data-protection rights are explained in the Form & Ground Privacy Notice.

Cookies and website technologies:

This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function and, depending on the features enabled, may use additional technologies for purposes such as website preferences or analytics. Where consent is legally required for the use of non-essential cookies or similar technologies, you will be given an appropriate choice. Further information about cookies used by this website will be provided through the website’s cookie settings or cookie notice, where applicable.

Responsible use of the website:

You must not knowingly misuse this website, attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, interfere with its operation, introduce malicious software, or use it for unlawful purposes.

Liability:

I take reasonable care in maintaining this website and the information provided on it. However, to the fullest extent permitted by law, I cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage arising solely from reliance on general information provided on this website or from circumstances outside my reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

Changes to these Terms:

I may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in my practice, legal requirements or website functionality. The current version will be available on the Form & Ground website, with the date of the latest update shown at the top of this page.

Governing law:

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute relating to these Terms & Conditions will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
