We will talk together for approx an hour or so and I will gather some information with you and explain how I work. We will have time to talk about confidentiality, contract form, and any other issues you may want to raise.
We all have busy lives and sometimes situations happen that are out with our control, and so with this in mind, I ask my clients to give me at least 48 hours notice of cancellation of session and no fee will be payable. If less than 48 hours notice is given then the full fee is payable. I work on trust and hope that my clients understand this request and that they pay any outstanding cancellation fee.
I AM AFRAID I CAN NO LONGER ACCEPT BANK TRANSFERS AS A METHOD OF PAYMENT , AND SO I ONLY WORK WITH CASH
