Privacy and confidentiality in counselling and psychotherapy
We are fully registered to hold data by the Information Commissioner (reg mo. ZA548562). Any data we hold about you is stored in a secure location and never shared with any third party. The only exception to this would be if we needed to protect you or others, and then only after we have fully discussed this with you.
We will not contact you on any telephone number, or at an address if you have explicitly asked us not to. No information about you or your therapy would ever be shared with an employer, even if you are referred to us by one.
All discussions in counselling and psychotherapy are confidential, although there are some legal exceptions that will be explained at your first meeting. We follow the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s published code of professional ethics.
No information is gathered through the use of this website that can identify visitors to the site. Anonymous visitor statistics are collected to measure the level of site traffic and the usefulness of the counselling and psychotherapy information contained here.
