Her decision: who sets what a session includes

Every booking with this house rests on one principle that never changes: the therapist decides. She decides which bookings she accepts, and she may decline one before or after it is confirmed without giving a reason. She decides what a session includes. And she may end a visit whenever she chooses.

How it is said

At the start of each visit, during the slow first quarter hour, she tells you in her own words what the session includes and where her limits are. Those limits then hold for the whole visit, until she leaves. Nothing is left to be inferred, and nobody has to guess.

What is yours to decide

A great deal, in practice. The warmth of the room, the light, the pressure, the pace, whether to talk or be quiet, whether to pause, whether to stop. Ask for any of those at any point and the request is simply part of the conversation of a session. If you would like the session itself to be different, ask once, and take her answer as the answer.

If a limit is pressed

Where her safety or her comfort is not respected, or a limit she has named is pushed at, the visit ends at that moment. The fee for the reserved time remains due, and nothing further is added. The house also writes a short internal note, kept for twelve months, which decides whether a later booking from that name is accepted.

The house's part

The house arranges, agrees and confirms. It tells you who is free at your hour and what the booking costs, and it holds the thread. It does not decide on her behalf what happens in the room, and it does not promise anything about a session that is hers to set.

Why experienced guests find this reassuring

Because it removes uncertainty. A guest who knows exactly who decides what, and hears it said aloud at the start, has nothing left to wonder about. The terms set the same principle out formally, and each profile on the roster carries the same line about her independence.
