Session Guidelines

This page outlines how sessions are conducted, the shared expectations of the work, and the boundaries of the professional container.
​

The Strategic Deep Dive (90 Minutes)​
 

The Deep Dive is a standalone, high-intensity session designed to identify the core patterns driving your current situation and clarify the necessary shifts.

• Action-Oriented: This is not an exploratory or open-ended chat. We work directly with your system in real time.

• No Obligation: This is a one-off engagement. No ongoing commitment is required.

• Pathways Forward: If further work is appropriate and aligned, we can discuss transitioning into the 3-month ongoing container at the end of this session.

 

Ongoing Work (3-Month Container)

 

If we continue into a longer-term partnership:

• Formal Agreement: A Client Agreement is reviewed and signed during the first session of the container.

• Structured Pacing: Ongoing work is held within clear boundaries of pacing, scheduling, and mutual responsibility.

 

Environment & Presence

 

For all sessions, including the Strategic Deep Dive.

To maintain the integrity of the work, please ensure you arrive:

• On Time: Sessions begin and end promptly.

• In Private: You must be in a secure, interruption-free space.

• Fully Present: You should be seated and settled. This is not a casual or multi-tasked space; please do not join sessions while walking, doing chores, or driving.

​

Note: Water, tea, or coffee is welcome. Please avoid meals and silence all external notifications.

 

Responsibility & The "Container"

 

This is a self-accountable process. The structure is not a hurdle to the work; it is the work.

You are responsible for:

• Scheduling your sessions via the portal.

• Tracking your session count and attendance.

• Engaging directly with the themes and challenges identified.

 

Communication Outside of Sessions

​

• Email: Use email for scheduling and brief logistical check-ins.

• Reflections: You are encouraged to send reflections between sessions. These inform our future work but will not be processed or responded to via email.

• Boundaries: No texting, voice notes, or phone calls are used. All therapeutic processing is reserved for the session.

 

Safety & Professional Boundaries

 

Emergency Support

This is not a crisis or emergency service. If you are in acute distress, contact your local emergency or mental health services. If you are under psychiatric care, it is recommended to maintain that support alongside this work.

 

Confidentiality

All content is confidential unless disclosure is required by law (e.g., risk of harm). I do not provide documentation for legal, medical, or employment purposes.

​

Relational Dynamics

This is a professional relationship focused exclusively on your process. Personal contact, gifts, or social engagement outside the container are not appropriate.

​

Termination

• Client Rights: You may stop the work at any time.

• Practitioner Rights: Ongoing work may be paused or ended if the structure is not upheld (e.g., repeated missed sessions) or if the work is no longer aligned.

 

Methodology & Consent

​

This work contributes to an evolving methodology. With your consent, anonymised patterns, themes, or language may be used in teaching or writing. No identifying details are ever shared. Consent is formally managed within the Client Agreement.
