About Fettle & Our Services

Kerwex Human Resources Limited, trading as www.fettle.ie (hereinafter referred to as "Fettle," "we," "us," or "our"), operates an online platform that connects users with qualified mental health professionals and therapists ("Service Providers").

Our services are intended to foster enhanced communications and coordination between users and Service Providers, including mental healthcare professionals. Fettle itself does not provide professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Important: Fettle is not responsible for health-related information provided to you through the Service Providers. We do not recommend or endorse any specific Service Providers, tests, procedures, opinions, or other information that may appear through our services.

If you rely on any information provided through the Services, you do so solely at your own risk. Any dispute between you and any Service Provider must be addressed directly with the Service Provider.

Security & Confidentiality

We at Fettle aim to provide a secure and confidential service. To this end, we ensure that our computers are regularly updated with antivirus software and employ industry-standard security measures.

Your Responsibilities

Clients using the services of Fettle are responsible for:

  • The maintenance and protection of their own computer and devices
  • Regularly updating their security software
  • Making the necessary arrangements to ensure confidentiality from their end during sessions
  • Protecting shared computers where sessions may be accessed

Limits to Confidentiality

Clients accept that there are limits to confidentiality. While the content of the sessions and the client's identity is treated with the strictest confidence, this may cease should:

  • The client be at risk to themselves or others
  • There is a risk of harm to children and vulnerable adults

Clients accept that in the name of best practice, therapists are required to attend regular supervision and that your identity will remain confidential during these sessions.

Sessions & Scheduling

Clients accept that in the course of therapy, unpleasant and upsetting emotions may be experienced. This is a normal and expected part of the therapeutic process.

Session Duration

Sessions are of a set time of 50 minutes. Clients are responsible for ensuring that they are available to start the session on time. As all sessions will end on time, sessions that do not begin on time will be of a reduced time but subject to the full 50-minute fee.

Session Environment

Upon booking a session, the client acknowledges that to ensure the effectiveness of the therapy sessions, it is imperative to attend each session in a quiet and safe space, free from any potential disturbances or distractions.

In the event that the therapist determines the designated area to be unsuitable for the session, the therapist reserves the right to cancel or reschedule the appointment for the benefit of the client's therapeutic experience. In this instance, the full session fee will be applied.

Technical Difficulties

Sessions affected by technical difficulties or cancellations on behalf of the therapist will be subject to a full refund or rescheduled session at the client's request.

Cancellation Policy

48 hours notice should be given for all cancellations by clients.

  • Sessions missed or cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will incur the full cost of the session
  • A €20 cancellation fee will be incurred for any cancelled appointments, regardless of it being greater than 48 hours notice
  • Cancellations by therapists will result in a full refund or a rescheduled session as per the client's request

To cancel or reschedule your appointment, please contact us at hello@fettle.ie as soon as possible.

All payment is processed securely through Stripe, which accepts all major credit cards.

Payment Schedule

  • All payments are upfront prior to the time of the session
  • Monthly memberships are debited automatically each month
  • Pre-Scheduled sessions are processed for payment up to one week in advance of the session taking place

Code of Conduct

Such behaviour may result in the session ending immediately, and the client will be liable for the full session cost.
