Confidentiality & GDPR
Your confidentiality is paramount, and appointments are timed so you won’t meet other clients arriving or leaving your sessions.
What you say in counselling / supervision is confidential in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework. This means that your information will only be shared with other agencies if there is a legal requirement to do so or if I feel there is an immediate risk of significant harm to you or others.
Your information will only be used for the purposes of providing you with a counselling service. Records are kept for 7 years before being safely destroyed and I recognise your rights in line with data protection law.
Emails and texts should only be used for booking and changing appointments, but not for discussing anything else.
When you provide your information, you agree to it being held and used in this way.
