Confidentiality
The material you discuss in your sessions, and the fact that you are having therapy are both confidential. However, there are some limits and exceptions to confidentiality:
-
I will discuss our work with a supervisor to ensure good practice.
-
I am obliged to report current child abuse, serious threats of harm against yourself or another person, and threats to commit terrorist acts to the relevant authorities.
Wherever possible, I will inform you before any disclosures are made to third parties.
Ethics
I am an accredited member of the BACP. I follow the BACP code of ethics (find out more here). You are welcome to ask me more about this at any time during our work together.
Your data
If we decide to work with each other, we will then discuss how I store your data according to GDPR guidelines. My practice is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under the reference ZB175979.
Data protection
If you have any concerns about how I collect, use, store or use your personal data, please contact me via email at memtherapist@gmail.com
In accordance with data protection laws I will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and investigate the matter thoroughly.
Complaints
Under current data protection laws you are required to resolve any grievances with me directly first. If we are unable to resolve the issues together, you retain the right to escalate your complain to the ICO at www.ico.org.uk
