I am a registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their ethical framework.

All information shared in our sessions is treated with respect and confidentiality. In certain circumstances I am bound to break with confidentiality. If a client is considered to be a danger to themselves or to others. If I am required to do so by law.

Providing a professional service I collect, store and use personal information from clients.
Data protection law states that this information must be used lawfully and in a transparent way and collected only for valid purposes.

On our first session, an initial assessment form is completed where basic information is recorded. Throughout our sessions I keep written notes, which are stored in a locked cabinet at my home address. These notes are discussed with my clinical supervisor only and are used as a valid and accurate record of your journey.

Six months following the end of our sessions these records will be shredded.
