Courses, workshops and tasters
Late cancellation or non-attendance deprives someone else of an opportunity. We ask for as much notice as possible if you need to cancel your place so we can offer it to someone else. Please talk to us if you are not going to be able to take up your booking.
If you wish to cancel your place please note that we must receive at least 24 hours notice.
For paid for events if we receive less than 24 hours notification of a cancellation you will be invoiced for the full fee.
Individual Appointments
Individual 121 therapeutic relationships are subject to a specific contract between professional practitioner and client and are not covered by these BWIS terms of Business. The usual practice is that your coach or therapist must receive at least 24 hours notice for cancellation of any appointment, otherwise the full session fee will be due. If you fail to attend any appointment and no prior notification is given, again the full session fee will be due.
The coaches and therapist offer a free 15 minute max phone discussion with them about what they do and your needs from 121 coaching or therapy.
