Is an electronically signed informed consent valid?

Yes. An electronically signed informed consent is valid under EU law and eIDAS. For specific situations (e.g. guardian consent for minors) we recommend consulting your professional body.

How do I handle confidentiality in the therapy agreement?

The contract must clearly define the therapist's confidentiality obligation, exceptions (mandatory reporting when life is at risk) and supervision conditions. zipzipdoc includes vetted clauses for these situations.

Can I send documents before the first online session?

Yes. Online therapists can handle the entire client onboarding digitally — from first contact through contract signing to payment. No physical paperwork is needed.

How do I handle payment and cancellations for sessions?

Define the cancellation period (e.g. 24 hours) and the cancellation fee amount. zipzipdoc inserts these terms into the contract and the client accepts them by signing.

How it works in practice

A new client books their first session. The therapist sends them an informed consent, therapy agreement with cancellation terms and GDPR consent via zipzipdoc. The client reads the documents at home in peace and signs online. On arrival at the first session the formalities are done — they can focus on what matters.
