Any user who has their membership or access to Services revoked will not be able to re-apply to become a member or access Services for a minimum of two years. Refunds will not usually be offered in such circumstances.
14.2 Membership renewal and cancellation

If you wish to receive your Digital Membership pack immediately upon confirmed settlement of purchase (i.e. waive the ’14 day cooling off’ period), we will require your express consent and your right to cancel the purchase will be lost.
A refund for membership is separate from a therapy Service refund, as membership and therapy are two separate services.

As stated at section 14 above, Anxiety UK cannot guarantee continued access to any membership benefits/services provided by third-party organisations.
14.5 Membership gift cards / gifted membership
Anxiety UK gift cards/certificate refunds.

Refunds can only be issued where cards have not been redeemed or partially redeemed.
Anxiety UK gift cards/certificate terms.
Anxiety UK gift cards can only be redeemed against the product/service stated on the card/certificate.
Gift cards/certificates are non-refundable, cannot be exchanged for any other product or service and must be used by the expiry date on the card/certificate. This does not affect a consumer’s statutory rights to cancel a contract made online within 14 days of purchase.
Anxiety UK is unable to replace lost gift cards/certificates. Any defective cards/certificates should be reported to admin@auksandbox.co.uk as soon as possible.
Gift cards issued by Anxiety UK are non-redeemable by the purchaser and must be used for the benefit of another individual (i.e. not the purchaser). Purchasers may buy gift cards as a gift for others but may not use them to pay for their own membership.
Donating a gift card.
Within 1 working day of making a purchase, you will receive a thank you certificate via email.
Anxiety UK will donate your gifted membership to support those seeking support for anxiety and experiencing financial hardship.
15 Therapy services
Anxiety UK provides a referral service in respect of therapy Services. It does not provide therapy Services directly to members/non-members or other parties. Once a member is referred to an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist, the contract for supply of therapy Services is formed between the member and the relevant Anxiety UK Approved Therapist. Anxiety UK Approved Therapists are not employees or workers of Anxiety UK when carrying out the therapy Services.
Any payments Anxiety UK collects from members/non-members or other parties on behalf of the therapists for the therapy Services the therapist has provided to the member/non-member are either passed on to the relevant Anxiety UK Approved Therapist or retained by Anxiety UK as the referral fee due to it from the therapists (as applicable).
In the event, following being referred to an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist that a client requests to be reallocated to another Anxiety UK Approved Therapist, Anxiety UK reserves the right to charge a £25 re-allocation fee to cover administrative and staff time. This includes instances when a client has not declared any special requests or limitations in availability when completing and submitting a referral request.
Whilst we always try to accommodate special requests, due to limited capacity we are unable to guarantee these can be met.
Therapy sessions must begin within three months of submitting a therapy request form. If this timeframe is exceeded, a new referral form will be required to ensure we have accurate and up-to-date information.
15.1 Therapy service refunds
Anxiety UK does not offer refunds of fees paid directly to Anxiety UK for therapy sessions, including the £20 initial therapy booking fee, in the following circumstances:
- In-person, face-to-face sessions are not available.
- You change your mind about pursuing therapy, whether due to obtaining access to NHS or private services, or for any other reason, including failure to provide required evidence of eligibility.
- You feel that therapy is not the right fit for you.
- Therapy does not meet your desired outcomes.
- Where your eligibility for our therapy services is unclear (i.e. you are unable to meet all eligibility criteria), in most circumstances we will refer you to an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist for an assessment. As part of the assessment, with your permission, it may be necessary for the therapist to contact your GP and/or others involved in your care to determine your suitability for the service. As is standard, this assessment session would be classed as one therapy session. If after this assessment it is determined that our therapy services are not appropriate for you at this time at this time, you will be only charged for the first therapy session, minus the £20 referral fee, with any therapy overpayment refunded.
Should your financial circumstances change, we are unable to provide a refund for any difference in session fees. However, you will be entitled to lower ongoing session fees, where appropriate, upon production of relevant supporting documentation.
In exceptional cases where a refund for therapy Services is offered, any refunds made will be minus a service fee of 15% of the therapy Service price (i.e., costs incurred in relation to making available the therapy Service).
Refunds for therapy Services and refunds for memberships are separate.
All refund requests for therapy Services must be submitted within three months of the original purchase of the therapy Service.
Should you decide or be unable to progress with therapy immediately, we will honour any therapy sessions fees paid directly to Anxiety UK up to twelve months from the date of the initial payment.
We do not refund therapist joining application fees made by prospective Anxiety UK Approved Therapists.
16 TAUK (TAUK to us)
Detailed terms for accessing a one-off support call service.
This service provides personalised support and information/signposting relating to anxiety.

- If the TAUK advisor is unable to reach the attendee, whether due to no answer, an incorrect contact number, call disconnection or failure, or any other circumstance that prevents contact, the advisor will send an email to the client advising that contact could not be made using the provided number. The advisor will then attempt a further call within the next 5 minutes.
If this subsequent call is successful, only the remaining minutes of the scheduled TAUK session will be delivered. If the call is unsuccessful or the client does not answer, the TAUK session will be considered concluded.
Only in exceptional circumstances, which must be communicated via email to admin@auksandbox.co.uk within one working day of the scheduled session, can the remaining time be rescheduled and delivered at a mutually convenient time.
- Any links or references made to products or services are for information purposes and should not be construed as clinical advice. Any decision to purchase or progress with any services discussed is solely down to the TAUK attendee.
TAUK advisors are not therapists/clinicians.
- This is not a clinical service and should not be deemed as a therapy/clinical interaction.

- Bookings must be made for yourself only. We reserve the right to decline, suspend, or end calls suspected to be made on behalf of someone else, as the primary purpose of this ‘TAUK to us’ service is to support individuals that are directly affected by anxiety/anxiety disorders.
Any user who has had access to TAUK denied or revoked will not be able to re-apply to access the TAUK service for a minimum of two years. Refunds will not usually be offered in such circumstances.
From time-to-time, Anxiety UK may offer free access to the ‘TAUK’ to us service for individuals experiencing financial hardship, accessible via submission of the relevant application form.

Anxiety UK aim to review any applications for free to access ‘TAUK’ to us appointments within 1 week of receipt. If you have not had a response within two weeks of applying, your request has been unsuccessful.
Successful applicants will receive a one-time use code to access the service. This code must be used by the expiry date and is not transferable or exchangeable for, or towards any other product or service. If after making a booking, you subsequently cancel or amend your booking, your code will no longer be valid. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend expiry dates and codes cannot be replaced if not used or lost.
