After you have signed up, we will send you an easy-to-complete form.
Once you have returned this, our therapists will assess the form to ensure you are matched into a personalised group that considers factors such as age and needs.
If you need to change your group then simply let us know, and we will work with you to switch to another more suitable group.

Please direct them to contact us, and we can sign them up and choose an appropriate group for them.
Please attend your sessions in a private location.
This not only respects the confidentiality and comfort of other group participants but also minimises background noise and disruption to the session.
If you are unable to do this, please ensure you attend with a headset or earphones that prevents others from hearing what is being discussed by group members.
You can access the sessions via any device that can run Zoom and have a good internet connection.
However, to get the most benefit from your sessions we recommend a tablet or device with a minimum 10-inch screen. This will allow you to see all the participants.
We also recommend keeping the device plugged in during the session.
We use Zoom to facilitate our sessions. We will share the Zoom meeting details with you in advance.
When signing up, we ask you to input your card details so we can take the subscription payment in advance of your sessions.
However, we won't take payment until we have discussed this with you and scheduled your sessions
Payment is made in advance and not refunded if you cannot attend your session.
Simply attend the next session in your schedule.
Just email us at tibee@medicspot.co.uk with 14 days notice and no further payments will be taken after the notice period.
Remember, you can continue to attend any sessions you have already paid for until your subscription expires and would be welcome to restart anytime.
If you have any further questions please email tibee@medicspot.co.uk and we will be happy to discuss these with you.
