  • Sessions are 50 minutes in duration
  • Therapy is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care
  • Roisin is unable to work with clients based in the USA or Canada due to licensing requirements
  • This service does not provide crisis or emergency support

7. Confidentiality

Everything discussed in therapy is confidential and held in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework. Confidentiality may only be broken in exceptional circumstances, including:

  • Where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others
  • Where there is a safeguarding concern involving a child or vulnerable adult
  • Where disclosure is required by law (e.g. terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering)

Where possible, any breach of confidentiality will be discussed with you first.

8. Fees & Payment

Individual therapy sessions are £85 per 50-minute session. Payment is made in advance via bank transfer. Payment details will be shared once we agree to work together. All prices are in GBP (£).

Fees may be reviewed periodically. You will be given reasonable notice of any changes.

9. Cancellation Policy

We understand that life after loss can be unpredictable. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please give at least 48 hours' notice where possible.

Late cancellations (less than 48 hours) or missed sessions may be charged at the full session rate. This policy is always applied with compassion and individual circumstances will be considered.

10. Ending Therapy

You are free to end therapy at any time. Where possible, we encourage a planned ending session to provide closure. Roisin may also suggest ending therapy or referring you to another professional if it is in your best interest.

Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals for medical concerns, including mental health symptoms. If you are currently in therapy, working with a doctor or medical professional, or taking medication for mental health conditions, please discuss your participation in this course with your healthcare provider.

17. Limitation of Liability

Course creator's responsibilities:

  • To provide educational content created with care and professional knowledge
  • To clearly communicate the educational (non-therapeutic) nature of the course
  • To provide crisis resources and guidance on when to seek professional help

18. Course Pacing & Self-Care

  • You are encouraged to engage with course content at your own pace
  • You have permission to skip content that feels too overwhelming
  • You can pause or discontinue the course if needed for your wellbeing
  • All course materials remain accessible for lifetime learning

19. Course Refund Policy

In compliance with UK consumer law, by purchasing digital content with immediate access, you waive your 14-day right to cancel under distance-selling regulations. Because this is a self-paced digital course, you receive immediate access to all materials upon purchase. For that reason, all sales are final and non-refundable.

This policy helps protect the integrity of the course and the time, care and professional experience that went into creating it. If you experience any issues accessing materials or feel uncertain about whether the course is right for you, please reach out — we will always do our best to ensure you receive the support and value you need.
