You, your, I = you, the client.

We, session(s) = you and Ruth working together, and you using any information Ruth gives you.

Adult = the grown-up responsible for you.

Legal Stuff

Ruth has to obey the law of England and Wales.
You are responsible for how you use and understand the session(s).
Your problems or worries may not go away when you work with Ruth.
Your adult will get Ruth’s permission to use or share any information Ruth gives you.

Your Physical and Mental Health

Ruth is not a medical doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist.
You speak to your doctor if your health changes, and you ring 999 in an emergency.
To keep you safe, your adult will update Ruth about your health and disabilities, tell your doctor or therapist that you’re working with Ruth, and cancel your session(s) if you’re ill.

Your Personal Information

Your adult must give Ruth up to date, true personal and health information about you.
Ruth keeps your information secret and safe, including what you share in sessions. If Ruth thinks you or someone you talk about could be at risk or in danger, or you’ve talked about something illegal, Ruth can share this information, without your permission. You can read more about this in the Privacy Policy.
Ruth may talk to other therapists and coaches about your life, but will never tell them who you are.
Ruth can talk to or email your adult about your sessions if you want (you can tell Ruth not to if you change your mind).

Payment

Working together

Ruth will agree session times and dates with your adult.
You will have your online session(s) in a quiet, common space like a living room or kitchen. You need permission from your adult to have sessions in a bedroom. It’s a good idea to have your adult close by during sessions in case you need them.
We will talk honestly together. Ruth will ask you questions and may ask you to do tasks.
Ruth may sometimes cancel a session if Ruth needs to, or if you have drunk alcohol, taken drugs or medicine that changes your behaviour in a session. If Ruth feels you may be at risk Ruth may discuss this with your adult.
When your sessions end, we will talk honestly about how Ruth has helped you.
