About this template

The therapeutic frame is set by the consent conversation. This form makes that conversation explicit in writing — what therapy covers, how often sessions run, when confidentiality must be broken (risk to self, risk to others, child or elder abuse, court order), whether telehealth is permitted, and what happens if the client misses a session. Typed signature and date create the audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this form replace an in-person consent conversation?
No — it supplements the conversation with a written record. The therapist still discusses the frame verbally.
Are confidentiality limits standardized?
Most jurisdictions require disclosure for risk to self, risk to others, child or elder abuse, and court order. Confirm local law with your licensing body.
Can a minor's parent sign?
Yes — add a “parent or guardian” block; consent is split between client and guardian as required.
Is a typed signature enough?
For most therapy contexts yes; combine with identity verification if you are online-only.
Can I add supervision and recording consent?
Yes — the form includes a separate recording-permission toggle.
Does it cover cross-border teletherapy?
Add a jurisdiction field; route out-of-jurisdiction clients to local practitioners.
Why teams choose FormLM for healthcare forms?
Unlike a static PDF or clipboard, every FormLM healthcare template is a live, shareable form you can customize in the browser, collect unlimited responses with, and upgrade to a scored AI PDF report whenever you need to.
