Terms

Last updated: 8 June 2026

Welcome to Therapy with Rick

These terms explain how this website may be used, what the website can and cannot provide, and the limits of the information published here.

By using this website, you agree to these terms.

About this website

This website provides information about Therapy with Rick, an online psychotherapy practice for adults aged 18 and over. The website includes information about therapy, emotional difficulties, psychodynamic therapy, online sessions, fees, resources, blog posts, and how to make an enquiry. The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only.

This website is not therapy

Reading this website does not create a therapist-client relationship.

Sending an enquiry through the website does not mean therapy has started. Therapy only begins after contact, assessment, mutual agreement, and confirmation of practical arrangements.

Information on this website is not a substitute for therapy, medical advice, crisis support, legal advice, or any other professional advice tailored to your personal circumstances.

Crisis and emergency support

This website is not designed for crisis situations or emergency support.

If you are in immediate danger, call 999 in the UK or your local emergency number.

If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, seek urgent help. This may include contacting emergency services, NHS 111, your GP, your local crisis team, or going to A&E.

You can also see the crisis support page on this website for more information.

Who this site is for

Therapy with Rick provides online psychotherapy for adults aged 18 and over. I do not provide therapy for children or young people under 18 through this private practice. I may not be the right therapist for every person or situation. If I cannot offer appropriate support, I may suggest seeking help elsewhere.

Enquiries and availability

You can make an enquiry through the Contact page

I aim to respond to enquiries within one working day where possible, but response times are not guaranteed. Submitting a contact form does not guarantee availability, suitability, or acceptance into therapy. I reserve the right to decline or discontinue work where therapy is not clinically appropriate, outside my competence, unsafe, or otherwise unsuitable.

Fees

The current session fee is displayed on this website, including on the Contact page and Work With Me page.

Fees may be reviewed periodically, usually annually, to reflect the costs of practice, supervision, insurance, continuing professional development, training, and living costs.

Any fee changes for existing clients will be communicated clearly before they take effect.

Website content

I aim to keep information on this website accurate, clear, and up to date. However, website content may not always reflect the most current clinical guidance, legal position, fee structure, availability, or service details. I may update, change, remove, or add content at any time.

Blog posts and resources

Blog posts, guides, and resources are for general reflection and information. They are not a diagnosis, treatment plan, clinical assessment, or personalised recommendation. If something you read feels relevant to you, it may be useful to discuss it with a qualified professional.

This website may link to external websites or resources. External links are provided for convenience or further information.

I do not control external websites and am not responsible for their content, privacy practices, accuracy, availability, or security. A link does not mean I endorse everything on that external site.

I take reasonable steps to keep this website secure. However, no website or digital system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for using the website safely, including using a secure device, keeping your own accounts secure, and being careful about the information you choose to send online.

Limitation of liability

I aim to provide clear and helpful information, but I cannot guarantee that the website will always be available, error-free, uninterrupted, or fully up to date.
