Below is the working agreement used with all my direct clients. This working agreement applies for the duration of the time we work together. I will direct you to read and agree to it before our first session together.

Purpose

The purpose of this working agreement is to make clear our intention to work together for the benefit of your wellbeing, and to establish the boundaries and arrangements for this process.

Our work

In all the work we do, I commit to being present with you during our sessions and holding your wellbeing as the central focus. I endeavour to listen and respond to you with compassion and honesty and to communicate with respect. I honour your autonomy, boundaries and consent. In return, I ask that you respect mine. I ask that you attend your sessions with a commitment to fully participating in your journey.

My aim is to support your personal growth, healing, empowerment and integration. I recognise the importance of your emotional, physical, mental, spiritual and sexual wellbeing in all that we do.

Together, we will co-create the journey which best matches your needs and desires. We will have regularly check-ins with this process and I encourage you to voice any changes in your needs and desires. At times, the experiences you enter may evoke challenging emotions. This can be cathartic, healing and growthful. However, if you feel unsafe or overwhelmed I ask you to express this to me and speak your needs to find safety again. Safe words and signals will be established where needed.

The process of our work may involve talking (counselling, coaching and compassionate listening) and/or somatic modalities (body working, massage, conscious kink, breathwork, etc.) and/or energy work (tantric practices, reiki, sex magick). I strive to provide a range of options from which  you can actively elect to participate in. You will  never be coerced to participate in any activity which you do not feel serves you. Our work is underpinned by the ethics of consent. I encourage you to be as honest with me as possible in all that we do. At times, your voice may be communicating a different message to what I can read from your body. In this case, I will always open a discussion on how you would like to proceed.

I endeavour to ensure all touch is undertaken with consciousness and in honouring of your boundaries. Our boundaries will be discussed, agreed and set at the beginning of each session. I will never seek to meet my erotic appetite through my clients and do not have any form of sexual contact with clients outside of sessions, unless they are already a sexual partner before we begin working together. Should either of  us be finding difficulties with sexual attraction distracting from your process, an honest discussion will take place assessing the suitability of our work together.

In all touch, adequate precautionary measures and hygiene protocols will always be followed. 

Practical Information

• I require a deposit for all bookings which is non-refundable unless the session is cancelled by myself

• The remaining payment is due on the day

• I may unilaterally terminate our professional relationship should I feel I am not serving your needs and will endeavor to provide appropriate referrals and support during such a transition

• You are free to terminate our professional relationship at any time, for any reason. It is helpful if this is communicated to me, so we can conclude our work together cleanly.

How I handle your information

• The information I keep in relation to you and our work together may consist of direct messages, email/text exchanges, appointment dates and times and session notes I may keep as a memory aide.

• All electronic data is held on password protected devices and all client notes are held with an additional layer of password-protected encryption

• You may choose not to share your legal name with me, in which case all notes will be held under a pseudonym of your choice

• Following the end of your work with me, any non-essential records will be deleted or destroyed within a reasonable time frame. Any essential records (such as accounting records) may be held for as long as there is a legitimate need to do so.

Confidentiality

What you share with me is held in sacred confidence in all but extreme circumstances. The only situations in which I may choose to break this confidentiality is if I believe you or others are at serious risk of harm, or if I am legally required to disclose relevant details relating to our work. Where possible, I will discuss this with you. In any of my discussions with supervisors or adjacent professionals, your identity will be protected. Should your behaviour cross my boundaries, make me unsafe, or threaten me in any way, and warnings and discussions between us fail to rectify this, I may choose to pass this information on to a local safety alerts group to protect the safety of the wider community. In this case, I would also terminate our working agreement. In extreme cases, I may choose to make a report to relevant authorities such as police.

Professional Body

As a professional, I follow the ethical guidelines of the Association of Somatic and Integrative Sexologists, which can be found here:  https://www.the-asis.org/ethics

My insurance is through their recommended provider, Foyht/BGI.UK
