My name is Galina St George. I am a Natural Health and Beauty Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and Health Coach. I have been studying natural health since 1999 and have completed many courses all of which required substantial learning, including doing case studies as part of the courses.
While doing my case studies, I noticed that all of us had to create our own consultation forms. Having finished working with the client, it was very easy for me to misplace and lose the forms.
Now, imagine being a practising therapist. Every consultation form contains the information which a therapist should keep just in case there are issues with the client which may involve an insurance company.
The other point is that with the tightening of GDPR rules recently, it is now more important than ever to keep all the records safe. Imagine your consultation forms with sensitive and very private information lying all over the place and being found by other people!
I do understand that these days many therapists use computers to fill in the consultation forms and keep their clients' records. However, nothing can replace having a hard copy of your client's records. Things can go wrong with technology, and all of the records can get lost.
This is why I believe that nothing can replace an old-fashioned method of filling out physical consultation forms. We need to keep these records for a number of reasons. Therapists are required to do it by their insurers in the rare cases of litigation.
So, to help my fellow-therapists and students who are learning to become ones, I have decided to create this book of consultation forms and appointment sheets.
You can use it for booking and treating new and existing clients. You can also use these forms for your case studies.
The Consultations & Appointments Form Organiser for Holistic Nutrition Therapists is only one in a series of form organisers I have published. I also offer similar books for Aromatherapists, Massage Therapists, Sports Therapists, Reflexologists, Beauty & Spa Skincare Therapists and other natural health practitioners. If you offer other therapies, do check them out!
