3.   Assessment

The exact nature of the Services We provide to You will depend on what We agree with You

And set out (where applicable) in the Programme Outline.

3.1  Purpose of the Assessment

             3.1.1   Before We provide any Services We may require that You go through an assessment of the issues relevant to You and the ways we can help you (the “Assessment”).  The Assessment will take place during the first Session and will have such form and duration as we consider is appropriate in the light of the requirements You indicate You have from Our Services.  We may ask You to provide information about Yourself during the course of the Session or (where applicable) at other times and/or by other means as agreed between You and us in the course of the relevant Session.  The assessment may have the following forms where applicable:  We may where applicable ask You before any Session to complete a form (the “Assessment Form”).  This will record details, as stated by You, as to your perception of the issues and requirements for which You need Our assistance as well as details of your current mental and psychological state, your general state of health, any medical conditions you have and any medications you are taking.

3.1.2    Where You have booked only one session the Assessment will relate solely to the requirements notified by You to Us in relation to that Session and based on the information you provide during the Session we will (except in the event that clause 3.3 applies) offer guidance, techniques and interventions for you to action during the Session.  The assessment will not be used to create any Programme or programme Outline, unless during the course of the Session You indicate that You would like to book further Sessions, in which case we will work with You to devise and appropriate Programme Outline.

3.1.3    Please note in any event that We are not medical experts and any Assessment We undertake of or in relation to You is solely for the purpose of Our Services provided to You and We shall not be obliged to diagnose any medical condition, provide any medical treatment or advise you in any way on medical matters, and We shall have no liability whatsoever for any failure to do so of any nature.

3.1.4    Based on the results of clauses 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. above, We will discuss with You the type of issues and requirements You have and (where You have booked more than one Session) discuss a programme.  We may also need to discuss and agree other steps You may take outside the Programme, as well as things You can do yourself to help with the Programme the full nature of the Services we are to provide, advice on the number of sessions,  payment options, the Fees, the Due Dates and all other commercial terms between You and Us.  After You and we agree on the programme We will notify this information to this Agreement by the appropriate means (whether by way of a document held on the Website or otherwise) by way of recording the Programme and all relevant terms of the Programme in writing, which will then be confirmed by You and Us in writing and upon such confirmation shall be deemed to have been incorporated into this Agreement.  You recognise and acknowledge the importance of making full and frank disclosure to Us of all relevant factors, matters and circumstances at all times, and that We will have no liability to You in relation to or arising our of any damage or loss of any nature caused to You where the same arises as a result, directly or indirectly, of any such failure on Your part.

3.2    Agreement of the Programme

          Where applicable as and when You and We have agreed the Programme in writing as

             referred to as clause 3.1.3 above, this agreement shall remain in force on terms set out here and incorporating the terms of the Programme subject only to such rights of cancellation (where applicable) as You may have by law.  In the event that You and We are unable to agree the terms of the programme for any reason either You or We shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by service of not less than one week’s notice in writing to the other.

3.3   If We cannot help You

             Please note that after the Assessment has been carried out, We may decide that We cannot provide any Services.  For example, You may suffer from a medical condition which We cannot treat, or You may need to obtain help or treatment from a medical practitioner or alternative provider of services, or undergo further tests (which We cannot provide).  If this is the case We will suggest what You need to do next (including where necessary providing a report).  If We do provide a report (which may be provided to you after the Assessment), You should give it to your medical practitioner.  We will arrange for the repayment to You of any Fees in respect of sessions which do not take place as a result of Our decision.

4.        Performance of the Services

             Where the Services to be performed involve sport psychology and performance psychology interventions mentoring or mind coaching We will normally provide You with the Services only after an assessment is carried out; and by the way of a single Session on a Session by Session basis or in accordance with the Programme.

4.1        If there is a significant period between an assessment and Our providing the Services where We provide interventions, mentoring or mind coaching We may:

              4.1.1          ask You to confirm in writing that the information you provided on the   

                                 Relevant Assessment remains accurate and that nothing of significance

                                 has changed in Your issues, requirements or lifestyle which will affect

                                 any Service We will provide; or

 

             4.1.2.          ask You provide a letter from a medical doctor indicating you can receive

                                 Interventions, monitoring and mind coaching from Us; or

 

            4.1.3.           not provide any Services until You have gone through another Assessment.
