Disclaimer

Please read this entire disclaimer notice before using this website, scheduling an appointment or making a purchase on this site, or relying on the content published within it or within any of our services. If you schedule an initial consultation, an online/offline appointment from International Youth Counseling, we will assume that you have read and understand this disclaimer notice.

Confidentiality

For youth aged 12 and up, information shared during counseling sessions is considered private and will not be shared with parents, guardians, or others without the young person's consent. Please note that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in group counseling settings.

There are a few important exceptions to this confidentiality:

  • If there is a risk of serious harm to the client or someone else

  • If there is suspected abuse or neglect

  • If information is required by law or court order

If a situation arises where information must be shared, every effort will be made to involve the youth in the process and explain what will happen. Wherever children are involved, we will always assume both partners love their children and want the best for them. It is the policy of International Youth Counseling to adhere to legal and ethical guidelines and absent suspicion of child endangerment, International Youth Counseling and its’ affiliated counselors do not/will not side with or testify on behalf or against either parent.

Counseling
Statements, testimonials, and examples on this website were provided by satisfied clients in confidence and are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. Every effort has been made to accurately represent our services and their possible potential. Counseling is hard work and an individual’s therapeutic outcome depends on the client’s desire, dedication, effort and motivation. There is no guarantee you will duplicate any of the results stated in the International Youth Counseling website. In an event where a counselor determines any contraindications, they will be obligated to conduct a professional consultation and follow best practice protocol and make an appropriate referral.

Now and then we find that a client may attend sessions reluctantly or determine counseling is not for them. Sometimes clients learn things about their situation and decide they would prefer not to proceed. In such cases, clients get little or no favorable results from their sessions. Therefore, the client testimonials we are sharing can neither represent nor guarantee the current or future experience of other past, current or future International Youth Counseling clients. Any and all forward-looking statements on our website, are intended to express our opinion of possible outcomes. Many factors will be important in determining your actual results and no guarantees are made that you will achieve similar results.

Hypnotherapy

One of the main tools in Rapid Transformational Therapy® is hypnotherapy. As you’ve probably read on this website, hypnotherapy can be a wonderful ‘tool’ to use to help you overcome a variety of issues. However, as my client, you will be informed of the following:

Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for professional medical care.

Please be aware that this site does not provide medical advice. It is for your interest and information only.

On no occasion should hypnotherapy, or the techniques used within, be seen as a substitute for professional medical advice. Hypnotherapy acts as a complimentary therapy, not an alternative, to professional health care and advice should always be sought from your doctor or other healthcare provider.

You are the only one who can guarantee your success.
 
Hypnotherapy is not magic. Although results can be achieved very quickly, the client has to be motivated and committed to change – undertaking tasks that may be suggested (for example, listening regularly to your personalized recording which will be provided). This is an essential part of the therapy process and in not doing this the effectiveness of the therapy will certainly decrease. In other words, hypnotherapy involves commitment on your behalf.

Hypnotherapy depends largely on your overall motivation to make changes in your life. As a result, we cannot offer guarantees of success. You are the only one who can do this. Ultimately, hypnosis cannot make you do anything you don’t want to do. However, what we can promise you is that I will use my professional knowledge, skills, and best efforts to match your commitment to your own progress. You want the best results, and we want the best results.

Client-centered therapy:  

Everyone is different and responds differently to hypnosis. In the same way, everyone may show different levels of success over different timescales. Sometimes only one or two sessions may be necessary. However, sometimes other issues might emerge that you would also like help with so that the best outcome can be achieved. On average, we see clients for 1  or 3 sessions.

Audio downloads:

When listening to the personalized transformation recordings, you should make sure you are in a safe environment to do so. You should not listen while driving or operating machinery. Please seek medical advice first if you suffer from epilepsy or any mental health illness as deep relaxation, and the suggestions contained within the audio, may have adverse effects.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
