I never signed anything, no T&C, nothing... we just met and started talking and agreed on frequency and cost. I come from a country where things are generally less monitored/structured.

I had two sessions with a private T here in England (a different story all together) and I was so taken aback by the therapy agreement she presented to me at the begining that I had to sign first. I know especially when its not a private visit this has to be done but I absolutely hated when she asked me for card details at the very first meeting so she can charge my account in case I cancel a meeting less than 48h prior. I felt like its so greedy and wrong. I would underatand this coming up after a while if missing appointemts became an issue but even if I didnt show up to one meeting it wouldnt be the end of the world to not get money for it. This and the fact that the 2nd time I went we just sat in silence for most of the time with her just staring at me with this fake interest and decided that 'I am not ready for therapy' was so much ********, Defo put off looking for help more locally. Ooops a bit of topic.
