Privacy

I keep records in line with my professional registration and ethical standards. These consist of a brief account of each session and are to assist me in providing the best service to you. I keep these in a locked filing box in a secure place.

I also attend regular consultation, known as supervision, with another professional therapist to help in in thinking about you and our work together. We are both bound by confidentiality.

I am registered with the Information Commissioner Office as required by the Data Protection Act.

These issues arise rarely, and I will always try to speak to you beforehand.

I have a right to privacy too, and in the modern age we are in, I access online spaces such as social media accounts etc. I will not respond to any friend or follow requests from you, and I would value it if you do not look me up online while we are working together.
