If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let me know as soon as possible. The required notice for cancellation is 48 hours or 3 hours in the event of illness. Where there is less notice, or if you fail to attend your appointment, the full fee will be charged.

We hope clients appreciate that it is rarely possible to fill these appointments at such short notice which is why we are obliged to charge for the Therapist’s time.
