Real guidance.
Real accountability.

• A session is considered booked only after 100% prepayment and once I have received the receipt/screenshot of the payment.
• Without prepayment I do not reserve the time, and the session may be given to another client.
• Session fee: $100 (2 hours).

• You can cancel or reschedule a session free of charge up to 24 hours before it starts.
• If you cancel 24 hours or more in advance, I refund your payment.
• If you reschedule 24 hours or more in advance, I carry the payment over to the next session.
• If you do not attend the session or let me know less than 24 hours in advance, the payment stays with me. I no longer have time to give that slot to another client or plan my own affairs, so that time is simply lost.
• The exception is force majeure (sudden hospitalisation, an acute medical situation) — we discuss this separately.

Each of our meetings lasts 2 hours and is built in three stages:

This structure lets us not only talk about a problem, but live through it and find new sources of support. I always follow your state — if you need more time in the first stage, we shift the focus.

• I work with clients who are in a clear state of mind. Please refrain from alcohol, drugs and other psychoactive substances before a session.
• You choose what to talk about and how deep to go. I follow your pace and readiness and never push you where you are not yet ready to go.
• You have the right to do nothing with your insights after a session — the process moves at its own pace.

• I provide you with a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space.
• I treat your feelings with care and make sure you feel safe throughout the process.
• I will always tell you if I need time to think about your request.

• Outside of sessions I do not give therapeutic consultations in messengers.
• You can message me about practical matters (payment, rescheduling, technical problems). I reply within a day on working days.
• If you urgently need to share something important, write it down in your notes and bring it to our next meeting.

• You can share all your feelings with me without fear that I will be offended or close off from you. This is very valuable material for our work, because it may point to a replay of your life script.
• It may also be a transference reaction — when feelings meant for other significant people in your life are transferred onto me. We can explore this together, and this is often where deep therapeutic potential lies.
• If it is hard to say it face to face, you can write to me a day before the session and we will begin with that.

• I may suggest exercises between sessions. They are not mandatory — you decide whether to do them. I may ask whether you did your homework, but I do not judge you. If you did not do it, that is neither good nor bad — it is simply information we can discuss if you wish.

• I reserve the right to end a session early if I sense direct aggression or a threat towards me. In this case the prepayment is not refunded, and whether to continue therapy is decided separately.

• If during a session you tell me you intend to harm yourself or others, I may break confidentiality and contact a close relative of yours or a crisis service. This is done only as a last resort, and I always tell you about it in advance.

• We can always end our work whenever you wish. I ask you to come to a final meeting — to close the process gently, reflect on the path we have taken and capture the important conclusions. The psyche goes through its own stages of contact, and the closing stage between us is an important and natural one. Living through it is considered healthy for the psyche: it helps integrate the changes and complete the psychotherapeutic process, carefully closing this important chapter of your life.
• If you decide to leave without a final meeting, I will not insist on having one. And you can always come back — at any time, if you wish.

• If the connection drops, I will call you back within 5 minutes. If the connection cannot be restored, the session is moved to another time at no cost to you.
• You are also responsible for a stable internet connection and a quiet place.

• Everything that happens in our sessions stays between us. I do not talk about you to people I know and do not discuss your case with anyone. Even when I discuss my work with colleagues in supervision, I remove every detail that could identify you. I also keep brief session notes for myself so as not to lose the thread — they are stored where no one else can access them.
• The only exception is point 10 (emergencies).

• I do not record sessions on video or audio. If it matters to you to record our meetings for yourself, please ask for my consent before you start recording. This is discussed separately.

• If I have to reschedule a session (illness, force majeure), I will let you know as early as possible and we will find a new time at no cost to you.
