It depends on the "deal/package" you get. I once went for a "don't pay for the first session until after the second one" deal.

The first one went so-so... but the therapist came highly recommended, so decided to go for a second one (which would still only be 120€, not 700€). That one didn't go well, at all, pretty much left out fuming. Coincidentally, it ended "after hours", so the receptionist was already gone, and I didn't notice I hadn't paid until already getting on the street. They also forgot to take down my payment details the first time, and I was in no hurry to fix that mistake... so that worked out itself.

But this kind of deals, seem to be legal, even though they feel like "bait and switch".
