Last change: February 19, 2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to all services provided by MindPath Psychology. By

and Conditions. These terms incorporate the same administrative and payment
principles as your prior Terms document, adapted for MindPath and expanded for
clarity.

General Terms of Administration

  1. Our Services
    MindPath Psychology provides psychological services delivered by HCPC-registered
    Clinical Psychologists. We may also work with independent mental health practitioners
    where appropriate to deliver services, and where this occurs, professional standards,
    confidentiality expectations, and record-keeping requirements will apply.

  2. Not a Crisis or Emergency Service
    MindPath Psychology does not provide an emergency or crisis response service outside
    planned appointments. If you require urgent support, or if there is any risk of immediate
    harm, you must seek emergency help through appropriate services.
    This includes, but is not limited to, situations involving: suicidal thoughts with intent or
    planning, self-harm requiring medical attention, significant deterioration in mental
    state, psychotic symptoms, acute intoxication, domestic abuse escalation, threats of
    violence, safeguarding concerns for a child or vulnerable adult, or any scenario where
    you or someone else may be unsafe.

    If any of the above applies, you should: contact your GP and request an urgent
    appointment, call NHS 111, attend your nearest Accident and Emergency department,
    or call 999 in an emergency.

    Where serious risk is identified during our work, we have professional duties under
    safeguarding and ethical guidance. This means confidentiality may be broken if there is

    a serious and immediate risk to life, significant harm, or where disclosure is required by
    law.

    For organisational contracts, the commissioning organisation remains responsible for
    internal safeguarding procedures, occupational health, HR processes, and duty of care
    to employees.

    3. Personal Property
    MindPath Psychology does not accept liability for loss, theft, or damage to personal
    items or valuables brought to appointments or sites.

    4. Policies Available on Request
    We have formal policies in place, including a complaints procedure and confidentiality
    and consent-to-share guidance. Copies are available on request.

Financial Terms

  1. Payment Principles
    All services are privately funded. MindPath Psychology does not currently work with
    insurers. Payment responsibilities rest with the individual client or commissioning
    organisation, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
    Where another third party is paying fees on your behalf, you remain responsible for any
    outstanding balance if the third party fails to pay in full, in part, or on time. This follows
    the standard approach contained in your original Terms.

  2. Payment Methods
    We accept most major debit and credit cards. We do not accept cash or cheques.
    We reserve the right to apply transaction fees for certain business or corporate card
    payments, where applicable, and we will make this clear at the point of payment.

  3. Late or Non Payment and Debt Recovery
    If payment has not been received by the required deadline, we reserve the right to do
    one or more of the following:

    Take payment automatically using the payment method stored on our secure
    payment system, where you have provided card details at booking or
    onboarding.

    Suspend or delay services until accounts are brought up to date.

    Assign a third party to recover outstanding debts or accounts due.

MindPath Individual - One-to-One Therapy Terms

  1. Session Length and Format
    MindPath Individual provides one-to-one psychological therapy. Standard
    appointments are 55 minutes in duration. Sessions may be delivered in person or
    online, as agreed.

  2. Fees and Payment Timing
    Fees will be confirmed before therapy begins. Unless otherwise agreed in writing,
    payment is due no later than the day of the appointment.
    We may issue invoices in advance of sessions with a secure payment link. If payment is
    not received by the day of the session, we reserve the right to take payment
    automatically using securely stored card details, where these have been provided.

  3. Cancellations and Late Arrivals
    A minimum of 24 hours written notice is required to cancel or reschedule a session. If
    less than 24 hhour’s notice is provided, the session will be charged in full, irrespective
    of the reason for cancellation.
    If you arrive more than 30 minutes late, the session may be forfeited, and the full
    session fee will apply.

MindPath Business - Consultancy, Leadership, and Team Services Terms

  1. Scope of Work
    MindPath Business provides bespoke organisational services which may include
    executive coaching, psychologically informed leadership development, team
    facilitation, group interventions, organisational consultation, and structured learning
    outputs.

  2. MindPath Business is not an emergency mental health service and does not replace
    occupational health, HR processes, disciplinary procedures, legal advice, or emergency
    psychiatric care.

  3. Bespoke Packages and Fees
    MindPath Business packages are bespoke and agreed in writing. Invoices are typically
    issued monthly unless otherwise agreed. Payment is due within 14 days of invoice date
    unless otherwise stated in the contract.

  4. Out of Session and Out of Hours Support
    MindPath Business operates primarily within agreed contracted sessions and delivery
    hours. Where additional contact is requested outside scheduled sessions, including
    telephone calls, additional consultations, urgent advisory input, extended email
    consultation, additional written work, or other time beyond the contracted scope, this
    will be charged at £150 per hour. Time will be calculated proportionately and invoiced
    based on actual time spent, for example a 15 minute call would be charged as a
    proportion of the hourly rate. This applies to all unscheduled support unless explicitly
    included within a higher-tier concierge agreement.

  5. Cancellations for Business Work
    For executive one-to-one sessions, a minimum of 48 hours written notice is required to
    cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled within 48 hours will be charged in full.
    For group sessions, workshops, or on-site consultancy, cancellations may incur
    charges due to reserved delivery time and preparation work. Unless otherwise agreed in
    writing:


    Cancellation within 5 working days may incur a charge of 50% of the agreed fee


    Cancellation within 48 hours may incur a charge of 100% of the agreed fee
