Welcome to Sanctuary of Self

Thank you for choosing to work with me.

Whether this is our first session together or you're returning for another chapter, I'm honoured to support you.

This intake form allows me to better understand where you are currently, what you're seeking support with, and how I can best tailor our time together to your individual needs.

It also ensures we have a shared understanding of the professional boundaries, expectations and agreements that create a safe and supportive space for our work.

Please complete all sections prior to your first session.

Working Together

Every session is tailored to the individual, recognising that no two people, experiences or healing journeys are the same.

Depending on your needs, our work may incorporate:

• Clinical Hypnotherapy

• Strategic Psychotherapy

• Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

• Trauma-informed approaches

• Traditional Tantra philosophy and practices

• Nervous system regulation

• Mindset and behavioural change

• Emotional processing

• Somatic awareness

• Meditation, breathwork and visualisation

• Personal development resources

• Tailored exercises and integration practices

Not every modality will be used with every client. The approach is guided by your individual circumstances, intentions, readiness and what is most appropriate for you.

Sessions may be booked individually or as part of a package, depending on your preferences and the level of support you are seeking.

There is no expectation or obligation to commit to ongoing sessions.

What to Expect

Our sessions provide a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore the aspects of yourself and your life that you wish to understand, heal or transform.

Depending on the nature of your session, this may involve personal development, emotional healing, relationships, self-awareness, subconscious patterns, Tantra practices or other areas of personal growth.

Where appropriate, I may recommend exercises, resources, hypnosis recordings or practices to support your integration beyond our time together.

Any additional support, resources or inclusions outside your booked session will be discussed and agreed upon individually.

Professional Scope

My qualifications and training include:

• Clinical Hypnotherapy

• Strategic Psychotherapy

• Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

• Internationally Certified Tantra Teacher

• Internationally Certified Tantra Practitioner

• Trauma-informed Practice

I work within the scope of my qualifications, training and professional experience.

If I believe another practitioner or service would better support your needs, I may recommend or refer you accordingly as part of my professional duty of care.

Sessions are not a substitute for medical care, psychiatric treatment, crisis intervention or legal advice.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is deeply respected.

Information shared during our sessions is treated confidentially, except where disclosure is required or authorised by law, or where there are serious concerns regarding your safety or the safety of another person.

Any personal information collected through this form is used to support the provision of services and is handled with appropriate care and confidentiality.

Session Arrangements

Sessions are conducted via Zoom or in person, depending on the service booked.

Online Sessions

Zoom sessions are generally recorded, with your consent, and a link to the recording will be emailed to you following the session.

Recordings are stored in the cloud for a maximum of three months. If you wish to retain a personal copy, you are responsible for downloading it within this period.

In-Person Sessions

You are welcome to request permission to record an in-person session for your personal reference. Any recording must be mutually agreed upon beforehand.

Punctuality and Attendance

Please arrive on time for your appointment.

If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, your session may need to be shortened or rescheduled, depending on availability. The full session fee may still apply.

Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice may be forfeited.

Payment and Booking Policy

Securing Your Appointment

Appointments booked online require payment at the time of booking to secure your session, unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed upon beforehand.

Cash Payments

Cash payments may be accepted by prior arrangement only and must be confirmed directly with Jen before booking.

Where cash payment has been approved, a non-refundable deposit may be required to secure your appointment. Any applicable deposit amount and payment arrangements will be communicated and agreed upon before your booking is confirmed.

Cash payments cannot be assumed or selected as an alternative payment method without prior approval.

Session Packages

Where multiple sessions have been purchased as part of a package, payment terms, inclusions and any applicable package conditions will be outlined at the time of purchase.

Any agreed payment plans must be maintained according to the payment schedule. Failure to meet these arrangements may result in future sessions being paused until outstanding payments are resolved.

Cancellations and Refunds

A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment without forfeiting the session fee, subject to any applicable booking conditions.

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or unattended appointments, may result in the session being forfeited.

Any deposit expressly agreed as non-refundable is subject to that condition, except where otherwise required by Australian Consumer Law.

Refunds for individual sessions, prepaid packages or unused sessions will be assessed in accordance with the agreed terms of purchase and applicable Australian Consumer Law.

If I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, an alternative time will be offered. Where a suitable alternative cannot be arranged, any applicable refund obligations will be honoured.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Professional Boundaries and Mutual Respect

A safe and respectful environment is essential to the work we do together.

All sessions are conducted within clear professional boundaries, with mutual respect, informed consent and personal autonomy at the forefront.

You are encouraged to communicate your needs, boundaries or concerns at any point throughout a session.

Participation in any suggested practice or exercise is voluntary, and you are always welcome to decline or request an alternative approach.

I reserve the right to decline, discontinue or refer a client where a service is no longer appropriate, falls outside my professional scope, or where circumstances prevent a safe and respectful working relationship.

Abusive, threatening, sexually inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour, or repeated breaches of professional boundaries, will not be tolerated and may result in the immediate conclusion of a session or professional relationship.

Any outstanding financial matters will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the individual circumstances.

Intellectual Property

All resources, hypnosis recordings, meditations, workbooks and educational materials provided by Jen Hamilton or Sanctuary of Self remain the intellectual property of their respective owners.

These materials are provided for your personal use only and may not be reproduced, distributed, copied, sold or shared without prior written permission.

A Shared Commitment

My intention is to create a space where you feel safe to explore, supported in your growth and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

I bring my experience, knowledge and presence to our time together, while recognising that your journey is uniquely your own.

Whatever brings you here, our work is grounded in honesty, respect, personal responsibility and the understanding that meaningful transformation begins with a willingness to meet yourself as you are.
