Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions explain how this website is used and the basis on which counselling services are offered by Purple Blossom Counselling.
By using this website (www.purpleblossomcounselling.co.uk), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms. If anything here feels unclear, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
About this website
This website is owned and operated by Laura Stoops. Purple Blossom Counselling is a counselling service offering one-to-one counselling for adults.
The information on this website is provided for general information only and is not intended to replace medical, psychological, or mental health advice.
While care is taken to keep the content accurate and up to date, no guarantee is given that all information will always be current or complete.
Counselling services
Counselling sessions provide a supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences, but they are not a crisis service.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please contact your GP, emergency services, or a relevant crisis support organisation.
Free initial chat
A free initial chat is offered as an informal opportunity to ask questions, understand how counselling works, and explore whether it feels like the right support for you.
There is no obligation to continue into counselling following this conversation.
Appointments and cancellations
Details about session length, fees, and cancellation notice periods will be discussed clearly before counselling begins and confirmed directly with you.
If you need to cancel or rearrange an appointment, please provide as much notice as possible. This helps ensure the time can be offered to someone else.
Confidentiality
Counselling sessions are confidential, and your privacy is taken seriously.
There are legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, including situations where there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or where disclosure is required by law. These limits will be explained clearly before counselling begins.
Suitability and referrals
Your wellbeing is always the priority. If at any point counselling with Purple Blossom Counselling is not felt to be the best fit for your needs, this will be discussed with you openly and respectfully. Where appropriate, support will be offered to help you explore alternative options.
Accessibility and reasonable adjustments
I aim to offer counselling in a way that feels as accessible and supportive as possible. Reasonable adjustments can be discussed to help sessions feel more comfortable or manageable.
