Terms of Use

Last updated: 30 May 2026

The short version

This website provides information about my counselling practice. Use it honestly, do not misuse it, and understand that the information here is general – it is not a substitute for professional counselling. If you book a session with me, a separate agreement governs that relationship.

Who this applies to

These terms apply to anyone who visits stormebrand.co.za. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What this website is

This is the professional website of Storme Brand, an HPCSA-registered counsellor. The content here – articles, descriptions of services, information about counselling – is provided for general information only.

Nothing on this website is a substitute for professional counselling, psychological advice, or medical treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact SADAG on 0800 567 567 (24 hours) or Lifeline on 0861 322 322 (24 hours) rather than this website.

Using this website

You may use this website for its intended purpose: finding out about my practice and getting in touch. Please do not:

  • Use the site for any unlawful purpose

  • Attempt to access parts of the site you are not authorised to access

  • Submit false or misleading information through any form

  • Use automated tools to scrape or copy the content of this site

My content

The text, images, logo and other content on this website are my property or are used with permission. You may not copy, reproduce or republish any of it without my written permission. You are welcome to share links to any page on this site.

Counselling services — the therapeutic agreement

The terms that govern our actual counselling relationship – confidentiality, cancellations, payment, consent – are set out in the registration form you complete before your first session. Those terms take precedence over anything on this website if there is ever a conflict.

External links

This site may link to other websites — for example, SADAG, Lifeline, or the HPCSA. I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.

Limitation of liability

I provide this website and its content in good faith. To the extent permitted by South African law, I am not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when they were last changed.
