Terms of Use & Medical Disclaimer

Disclaimer Policy

The content provided on the Paul Matthews Hypnotherapy website (paulmatthewshypnosis.ie) and during our sessions is for educational and informational purposes only.

Complementary Therapy

Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Paul Matthews is a Clinical Hypnotherapist, not a General Practitioner (GP), psychiatrist, or medical doctor.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

Existing Conditions

If you have been diagnosed with a specific mental health condition (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe clinical depression) or epilepsy, you must inform us before booking a session. We reserve the right to decline treatment if we believe hypnotherapy is not suitable or safe for your specific condition.

Not Medical Advice

Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. Success depends heavily on your own commitment, motivation, and willingness to engage with the process.

Individual Outcomes

Results may vary from person to person. While we have a strong track record of success, we cannot and do not guarantee specific results. We do not offer "cures" for any condition. The testimonials and examples used on this website are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results.

Payment for Time

Please note that you are paying for the therapist's professional time, expertise, and guidance, not for a guaranteed outcome. Therefore, refunds are not provided based on a perceived lack of results.

No Guarantees of Results

Not an Emergency Service

Paul Matthews Hypnotherapy is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or a mental health emergency, please contact your local emergency services immediately (999 or 112 in Ireland) or visit your nearest hospital emergency department.

All sessions are conducted online via Google Meet. While we take every precaution to ensure a stable connection, we are not responsible for technical failures on your end (e.g., poor internet connection, device failure).

It is your responsibility to ensure you are in a safe, private, and distraction-free environment for the duration of the call.
