Terms & Conditions
Who I Am
This website is owned and operated by David Pearce of Therapy Dave — a UK-based psychotherapist, registered member of the BACP, and fully insured for clinical practice in the UK. My services include psychotherapy for UK clients and coaching for international clients, as well as online resources and courses.
Important Note: No Medical Advice
The content provided on this website — including articles, videos, course materials, and any associated media — is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be considered a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with a qualified medical professional regarding any physical or mental health concerns.
Professional Commitment & Insurance
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their professional code of ethics. I hold professional indemnity insurance within the UK. For clients outside the UK, please note that services are offered as coaching due to licensing and insurance regulations. This distinction ensures ethical and legal clarity for all clients, regardless of location.
Nature of Services
Within the UK: Services are provided as psychotherapy and follow the BACP ethical framework.
Outside the UK: Services are offered as coaching and do not constitute psychotherapy.
All clients acknowledge that outcomes vary and no guarantees of improvement are made. While many experience positive change, therapeutic progress depends on multiple individual factors.
Emergency and Crisis Support
Please note that I do not provide crisis or emergency support. If you are in danger, at risk of harm, or experiencing a mental health emergency, you should contact your local emergency services or a relevant crisis helpline. In the UK, you can contact Samaritans free at 116 123.
Session Availability & Boundaries
Availability is limited to a set number of clients at a time to ensure quality of care. Messaging support and session frequency will be outlined clearly during our work together and must be respected in accordance with agreed boundaries. Therapeutic work is collaborative, and consistent attendance is key to long-term progress.
Client Responsibility
Clients are responsible for their own engagement in therapy or coaching and understand that the process can involve emotional discomfort. You are encouraged to raise any concerns or questions with me throughout the process — therapeutic safety and clarity are vital to our work.
Intellectual Property
All written, audio, and video content shared via this site or within courses (including downloadable PDFs and resources) remains the intellectual property of Therapy Dave and may not be copied, shared, or repurposed without written permission.
Changes to Terms
These terms may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in services, policies, or legal requirements. Continued use of the site or services indicates acceptance of these terms.
